Hello,
my source code is disappeared from my pc !
I can't believe this could happen
It happened before and I said it was a coincidence that will not be repeated
Now open the source code file, which is completely empty
If anyone has an idea to retrieve the source code because I worked a lot on this source code :(
thanks,
I use portable mode on all meta traders ,have you looked on the folder that has all the user data for the terminals ?
Theres a folder (im looking for it now) that contains those hashes that you see when you hit Open Data Folder on your MT4.
as @Fernando Carreiro said ,backup everything daily .Backup the backup weekly (device failures) and backup the backup of the backup monthly.
Looking for the folder you can search ...hold on
i think this is the path
Open your computer navigation :
- Go to the hard drive that has your windows installation
- Go to Users folder
- Go to Your username folder
- Go to AppData (this folder might be hidden so you will need to change that setting)
- Go to Roaming
- Go to MetaQuotes
- Go to Terminal
- Browse around in the Hash folders maybe one contains the old code

Not due to unforeseen circumstances
I was editing the source code file , While doing the compile It was not completed, and the contents of the file were deleted
When I opened it, it was empty
It happens with a lot of programmers in mql4 and I didn't expect it to happen in mql5, but it happened unfortunately
If you search the forum, you will find others complaining of the same problem
Please acknowledge that there is a problem in order for the company to solve it in future releases
thanks

I can't acknowledge that problem because it has never happened to me. I have been coding in both MetaEditor for v4 and for v5, since 2014 and I have never had happen to me ever.

Have you accidentally pressed Ctrl+A and the another key so that everything was selected and replaced by the last key?
In this case try Ctrl+Z, if the editor is still open.
