Installing new MT4

 

My broker has sent me a link to their new MT4 application download. How can I transfer my personal custom settings from my previous install to the new one, like my adjusted indicators, profiles and templates so I don't have to redo all that again?

Thanks

Find the files in your current MT4 directory structure and copy them across to your new one . . .  make ssure your new one isn't installed in Program Files  to avoid UAC issues.

Thank you. I assume it's fine to install it in C's root directory?

You could,  but something like C:\MT4Installs\ would be better
