HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TS Support\MultiCharts
Step 5 look like the same has step 9 The send to the same location

Also, I don't the step 10 link on my PC to move the dictionnary
The second step is to change the registry key:
Click Windows Start button.
Select Run.
Type regedit.
Press Enter.
Find the Path registry key
On 64 bit Windows the path to MultiCharts 64 bit databases key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TS Support\MultiCharts\Databases\Portfolio
On 64 bit Windows the path to MultiCharts 32 bit databases key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TS Support\MultiCharts\Databases\Portfolio
Change the path to new location of your database files.
Find the Path and CachePath registry keys
On 64 bit Windows the path to MultiCharts 64 bit key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TS Support\MultiCharts\Databases\Storage
On 64 bit Windows the path to MultiCharts 32 bit key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TS Support\MultiCharts\Databases\Storage
Change the paths to new location of your database files.
Find the DictionaryPath registry key
On 64 bit Windows the path to MultiCharts 64 bit databases key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TS Support\MultiCharts\Databases\Portfolio
On 64 bit Windows the path to MultiCharts 32 bit databases key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TS Support\MultiCharts\Databases\Portfolio
Change the path to new location of your Dictionary.csv file.
Note:For example new location of the "Dictionary.csv" file is "E:\new_location\". "DictionaryPath" key value will be "E:\new_location\Dictionary.csv"

Hello Martin,

You need to go to MultiCharts folder, then Databases folder and change the specified keys in it.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TS Support\MultiCharts
Step 5 look like the same has step 9 The send to the same location
That is correct. The same location, but different registry keys (DictionaryPath and Path).

If the key name is missing - you need to manually create it.

Starting from MultiCharts 8.7 version, the location of Database files, Cache files, Studies, Logs, Order and Position Tracker Data can be found and changed in MultiCharts itself. In the Main Menu click File, then click Preferences and select Directories tab.
