Hello, turbofib, We have tested it on our side. The studies from the custom folders are backed up, but they are restored in the default folders (“Signals” if it is a signal, “Indicators” if it is an indicator, etc.).

“OnRecalcLastBarAfterEvent()” as an event handler.

LMC1,

Please describe the specific difficulty you have with implementing it.
