hi
I’ve a pc and laptop , I need to sync data 2 times a day between them .
It’s really hard and taking time to copying the entire metatrader folder , it’s about 7GB and it takes a long time ,
is there any fast way to copy the latest data, charts ,trendline etc and sync it between them ?
I don’t want to use VPS .
thanks
Have you considered using MT4 terminal sync… not sure if this would sync trendlines but it work with EAs mostly used by MT4 developers. You might be able to fancy dance some code to more of what you looking for. Also isolating configurations that deal with data, charts, trendlines etc… so you do not have to deal with the entire folder…
MT4TerminalSync - System for the Synchronization of MetaTrader 4 Terminals - MQL4 Articles
What the articles suggests is creating mysql database setup up for MT4 to use the shared files. Tool is include at the end of article. If you are just talking about work done on the chart and downloaded data to the charts you can copy over the Profile folder between the two systems… However, copying the Profile directory being that is a low tech way can require you will first have to close MT4 that you wanting to port to the other computer so the new data is saved to the profile then… copy and paste just that folder or the profile in the folder… Trick is it’s easier if you have saved and run a custom profile then just mover this profile back and forth or would be the default profile. The downside is you would likely have do the same thing with “config, templates, experts, and history” folders if these change regularly. I made a migration from windows and Linux and had to do copy and past these five folder to my VM with Windows because I did not want to run MT4 in wine. All my work was still there but some MT4 system settings didn’t push like custom fib levels… So this is where I think the MT4 terminal sync would be helpful in your case if you would like to go over the top with it… else my next suggestion would be manual making the MT4 system settings like fib and some standard tools the same… then copy and paste will carry over all the other configurations, charts, and chart markups.
I hope that helps.
Cheers.
