Trouble locating MT4 installation directory

Post by thatbear »

MacOs: Ventura 13.4.1
MT4: 4.00 build 1380 24 Mar 2023
TickStory Lite: 1.9.7.11 [L] [Build date: 2023-07-05]

Hello :)

This is the location of my default MT4 installation folder. As you can see the terminal.exe is located in the file:
/Applications/MetaTrader 4.app/Contents/SharedSupport/metatrader4/support/metatrader64/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/MetaTrader 4

This is what I enter in Tickstory when asked for my MT4 installation folder:
Z:\Applications\MetaTrader 4.app\Contents\SharedSupport\metatrader4\support\metatrader64\drive_c\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 4

This is the error I get:

Any solutions? :)

Hi Thatbear,

Unfortunately some MT4 functionality of Tickstory may be restricted under Wine & MacOS. You can try force your configuration using the method described here, however do note that certain features may still be unavailable such as the MT4 Launcher. As long as you set your "Data Folder" to the correct location, you should at least be able to get the data into MT4.

We don't specifically test for this configuration, however if you would like to assist others with your findings, that would be helpful!

Thanks.
