    Which MT4 file stores the trendlines drawn on a chart?

    I've MT4 on my Surface Guru 3 to be used when not at home, and on my main pc when at home. What I don't want to do would be re-draw all of my trendlines, fibs etc on every chart, each time I upgrade it on the primary pc.

    So what I'd like to do is simply copy the documents over which include the indiors for every chart. I don't want to replie the entire MT4 folder over since I use far less charts on the Surface because of its much smaller display and copying the entire folder open way I must go along final and resizing everything again. I also have noticed a proposal that copying my MT4 to a dropbox account will allow me to simply use the same copy of MT4 on both the pc and Surface, but again my issue with this is the surface has a much smaller display and I'd be constantly resizing everything each time I switched (primary pc has 9 charts up simultaneously, the surface has 4).

    So I'm wondering if I can loe the files that contain the indior positioning for every pair, and just copy over those then I will not have to mess about shutting charts and resizing every thing daily. As far as I've been able to work out, the .hst files under the server folder are NOT the document that contain the indior rankings for every chart, I believe they simply include the pub info and nothing for indiors, I understand this since shing servers to a new server still keeps the same indiors on the chart, supplying the emblem has the same name on the opposite broker/server. So the actual chart layout to the positioning of indiors on each chart has to be saved elsewhere.

    Why not make a template file for each chart you would like to save. Then copy these files load the templates
    to each new chart.

    Name each template specific to the chart you would like to save with all objects, trendlines, fibs etc..
    When you draw new objects recall to save the template each time.

    Hmmm not attempted that yet. Fantastic point I forgot the lines were also saved in templates. That seems to be the only solution. I only need 4 or 5 so this way is not too bad. thanks.

    Ok looks like I found it. This seems to be kept from the .chr files inside the profile folder of the currently chosen profile. Which still does not help as the documents are named chart01, chart02 etc so I cant simply copy over the relevant ones in the background! I would need to copy all of them over, resulting in 9 of those being exhibited again, in pc size, instead of the 4 that I want on the notebook. This is simply stupid.
