Dave - Thanks for the apology. I appreciate that. A hard way to learn a lesson, but thanks. As you mentioned, a note warning against putting custom .wsp, .ple, etc files into the TS Support folders could help others from experiencing what I did. If there is no recommended path, perhaps a "many users...

I appreciate your help guys. Thanks for the tip sptrader. I checked and I am already searching hidden folders and files. I'm running win8, which is crap, so the procedure is a little different, but I got it. I just restored back to an even earlier restore point, so that makes the most recent two poi...

Thanks for the reply TJ. I've already tried that. I know exactly where they were. And they are gone now. As far as a non-standard place, I sought guidance for this when I first bought by lifetime license and got what seemed a unsatisfactory answer. But I went with it, since it was from Henry. Here i...

I updated to MC 9.0.11210.400 last night and POOF, my custom workspaces have disappeared! I have to get them back. This represents HUNDREDS OF HOURS of developmental work. I'm on Windows 8. Once the updated MC could no longer find them, I ran a system restore, which undid the update. They are still ...

Thanks Alex! I think I'm off to a start now. I am using IQFeed data strictly for development right now, and am not tied to a broker, so I don't think that the autotrading tab is relevant right now. Honestly, I am on a 3 month lease with MC to see whether I want to abandon TS, close my account, and u...

Hi, I am trying to learn how to ACCURATELY backtest some strategies on Forex daily charts. I have looked at the the MC users guide and really got nowhere. It showed a lot of stuff to be had from a button in the upper left corner of the performance report. None of that is available in my forex pairs ...

Thanks Henry.
I was using my iPad and multicharts.webex.com is something entirely different for some reason. Different appearing page altogether. On my PC it looks just like it should. Very weird.

The link doesn't work. It takes me to a sign-in page for user and password. When I use my forum log-in, it doesn't work. I want to watch the webinar by Scott Tafel. Can you help me? Thx, Scott

Thanks TJ! That should get me on my way.

Scott

Can some please show me a code snippet which allows me to use text in a show me indicator study? I am a self-taught EL programmer, so I can do some things but don't know how to do others. I can plot dots or crosses above below price bars to show when entry indications have been met, as a Show Me ind...

Thanks TJ. I'll give it a try and post how it goes. On my archived XP system I found the files you are referring to at: C:\Documents and Settings\{Username}\Local Settings\Application Data\TS Support\MultiCharts Sounds close enough, and it was archived, unlike the hidden folders. I am hopeful and wi...

Thanks Steven. That sheds some light on things. I have located the .gdb files you mentioned - on my new system. I am trying to find then on my archived old system - I am not finding them so far. I think hidden folders were not backed up on the Mozy servers. I had to manually select the folders to ba...

Hi Everyone, I'm new on the boards and have a complicated (to me) issue. I recently had a fatal crash of my XP computer. I had a lot of custom indicators I developed and some workspaces, strats, functions I developed on the computer. Everything was on MC 5.0. I have an on-line backup service, so all...
