Neither version is showing the MQL folder so I cant add anything. Dang.
Please read the article I sent earlier. Things to note:

With 6.xx, the MQL folder is now in:

C:\Users\<User_account_name>\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\Instance_id

If you re-install Empty4 over an existing instance, you get a new instance_id, so the directory will change!!! It will appear as all your files are gone.

You need to understand the concept of the new /portable switch. This prevents MQL folder being installed under C:\Users\<User_account_name>\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\Instance_id

Thank you for your help but it is not there. I can find it on my home computer but its not here on my work computer.

Hi Bob,

I'm with Cowboy IBFX aus, I created a new folder on the C:\ and pointed a new installation of Empty4 to that folder. It created an MQL4 folder within it. Within Empty4 I opened the data folder and pasted all my old indi's into the MQL4\indicator folders

The "/portable" switch covers a multitude of Empty4 sins.

Converts all the funny roaming folder stuff to a local MQL4 folder ( almost like the 'old' days )

Cheers

For those of us who don't understand, could one who understands explain what this means?

Hi Dudest

Don't always look for home runs, I think. Take what is for grabs

Can you please post the indi you made the trade-report with?
Or point us in the right direction?

I used the Cowboy IBFX trade analyser, but can't find where it puts the output with #6xx

Thanks!
