During installation of MultiCharts, one can specify different from C drive installation folder location. However, the most space that is used by MultiCharts is filled with MultiCharts database, log files and studies. By default everything mentioned is stored on the C drive. There is a way to move the files and folders to a different hard drive.
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 [[Preferences#Directories|Directories ]] tab.
