Transfer templates and projects to new computer

#1 Postby kevin » Sun May 10, 2015 2:55 pm

Hi

I wonder if someone please can advise me how to transfer my existing templates and projects to my new computer?

I presume that l have to request a new registration key as well as downloading the Forex Tester 2 software to my new computer?

Thank you for your help :)

Just go to the folder on your harddrive.
On my Win7 is it like this
C.\ForexTester2\

there are some folder you should copy on the old pc, and paste them to the new pc (overwrite on the new pc)

mostly these foders are of interest:
"projects"
"templates"

but if you if you used imported data you should copy also the folder called
"data"
because otherwise sometime i encountered problems.

i suggest if you have important projects, to make regular backups of them in case of hardware crash (can happen always).

If you need to keep your projects and templates then please do the following:

1) Go to program folder (C:\ForexTester2 by default) and backup these folders: "Projects", "Templates"
2) After you reinstall Forex Tester replace corresponding folders with backuped ones.
