Fibonacci retracement question (MT4)

New comment
 

Hello,

I have set up my levels for Fibonacci Retracement.

In MT4 there is no option to save all the levels in a .SET file for Fibonacci Retracement.

I assume all the levels are saved in some file.

Does anyone know what that file is ?

I want to be able to copy those settings to different terminals.


Thanks a lot

 
you have not given much information about your meaning, however, i assume that you are referring to a template? A template saves all objects on the current chart, so you will need to save a new template for each pair, however, i think this is best you can do in mt4.

Hello


Thanks for your answer.


I am not talking about a template.

I did set-up Fibonacci retracement with several levels: 0, 38, 50, 61, 70, 79, 88, 100, 161, ...

It is more than 10 levels.

Because I am lazy I do not want to have to configure these levels on each instance of terminal.exe (several brokers, several accounts)

When I apply Fibonacci Retracement I need all those 15 lines to be drawn on the chart.

I am sure that the levels I select for Fibonacci retracement are being saved somewhere in MT4.

I want to know where are they being saved, so I can copy them to the other installation of terminal.exe

Those Fibonacci levels (as well as many other parameter values) are stored in the "terminals.ini" file under the "config" directory of your installation's "Data Folder".

MetaTrader 4 example:

Fibo_color=255
Fibo_style=2
Fibo_weight=1
Fibo_background=0
Fibo_color2=65535
Fibo_style2=0
Fibo_weight2=1
Fibo_levels=11
Fibo_level0=0
Fibo_description0=0.0
Fibo_level1=0.236
Fibo_description1=23.6
Fibo_level2=0.382
Fibo_description2=38.2
Fibo_level3=0.5
Fibo_description3=50.0
Fibo_level4=0.618
Fibo_description4=61.8
Fibo_level5=1
Fibo_description5=100.0
Fibo_level6=1.618
Fibo_description6=161.8
Fibo_level7=2.618
Fibo_description7=261.8
Fibo_level8=4.236
Fibo_description8=423.6
Fibo_level9=2
Fibo_description9=200.0
Fibo_level10=1.5
Fibo_description10=150.0

MetaTrader 5 example: 

[Objects]
Fibo=<object>|<level>|style=0|color=65535|descr=0.0|</level>|<level>|level=0.236000|style=0|color=65535|descr=23.6|</level>|<level>|level=0.382000|style=0|color=65535|descr=38.2|</level>|<level>|level=0.500000|style=0|color=65535|descr=50.0|</level>|<level>|level=0.618000|style=0|color=65535|descr=61.8|</level>|<level>|level=1.000000|style=0|color=65535|descr=100.0|</level>|<level>|level=1.618000|style=0|color=65535|descr=161.8|</level>|<level>|level=2.618000|style=0|color=65535|descr=261.8|</level>|<level>|level=4.236000|style=0|color=65535|descr=423.6|</level>|type=12|name=Daily Fibo 57719|ray1=0|ray2=0|date1=1614880800|date2=1616792340|value1=3704.750000|value2=3962.250000|</object>||
