transferring mt4 to usb key

 

I want to copy my mt4 (including charts and templates) to a usb key so that I can use it on other computers. Can anyone please tell me what files I need to move across? Any problems I need to be aware of?

Thanks Mark

 
Move the entire MT4 folder to your key. That will work no problem. I even run it from an external hd or key on some computers in order to collect data easily. CB

I assume that is after the MT4 installed on the computer. That's great tip CB, thanks. 

For security issue, does locking MT folders on that usb key with an application or encrypting it will have any effect ?

You don't need to go through the install process on the target computer. Just insert key and run terminal.exe

Thanks for clearing that up. What about regarding folder lock or encryption, have you any experience with it? 

Btw I just notice your 'Moderator' status from here. BarrowBoy & Gordon too. Congrats!!
