Re-install MT4

 

If I reinstall MT4, will my existing charts, custom inidcators, etc. be saved?

I need to download from a new broker rather than the old one I used so I can create demo accounts without having to contact their customer services.

SanMiguel,

If you download MT4 from a new broker and install it, it will probably create a new directory in program files and will need just to copy your custom indicators from old folder to the new one.

What about the lines and stuff saved on the charts plus the profiles, etc.?

What I tend to do is:

1. Back up the entire "config" directory from my previous install

2. Install new instance of the platform

3. Rename new config directory to something like config-new

4. Copy config directory from backup media
