How to move the datafolder to another location? Or the hisrotical data
I use symbolic links frequently (only for NTFS drives).
Locate your history folder, move it to the other drive, and create a symbolic link in the original data folder :
- open the cmd window with admin rights, switch to the data dir, enter and run the command
mklink /j history "F:\YourNewDataFolder\history"
mavier:
Install your MT4 on an other drive and use the /portable switch. See https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/1389#portablemode
hello,
since the update to MT4 build 6xx every EAs, historical data were moved to the new datafolder located on the system drive. my problem: i have not enough space on this drive for all the historical data i need for backtesting. i need to move them to another location. is that possible? or is there a workaround? the folders are the history and the tester folder in appdata/roaming...
hope you can help me.
thx
