Hello together,

my PC Drive is full and need a new one.

My Problem ist that i have created some "new indicators" and don`t know where i can find they at my Drive (C:\Programme\EQUIS\...) !!! I want to save my "new indicators" cause i musst uninstall and install metastock new. sdo i am afraid right now to save my "new indicator list" !!! Is it possible at all !? ?! I think it shouldn`t be a problem ...

Who can give me support ?
Thanks ahead for answering !

hey ms lepoard.....  your indicators are in the C:\Program Files\Equis\MetaStock folder in a dta file which corresponds to your meta version..... such as ms90form is version 9 formulas , and ms10form contains the formulas in version 10......  unless you are figurin on just copying the entire dta file, which is a good policy, there is not much you can do with it..... but you could copy it to a cd or a usb flash drive....

meta has a built in  organizer to export the needed formulas , experts, explorations and such....  don't take that term 'organizer'  literally...... 'exporter' would more accurate  and   there are a few quirks to using it.... exporting to a folder is a one shot deal......  so if you export a bunch of formulas and then notice you forgot one, it's too late.....  you'll have to do the whole deal again and use a empty folder.....

for the most part, the folders contents are difficult to tell whats what..... i did figure a way around the confusion,which was an interesting exercise but not really practical......h

I am using MetaStock 8.0 and find "MS80FORM.DTA" - This should it be ...
