They are compiled into the program. You need to have txt file copies to back them up. Or you can export them to an "ELD" file using the FILE --> EXPORT EASYLANGUAGE option.

If you have you done any Tradestation backups, then the easiest way is to do restore using the same version of TS... If not, then this might work...

 

1. Install the SAME version of TS on new PC, and log in TS network once, the close TS

2. Find TS directory on the old drive, which would be in the folder "C:\Program Files"

3. It will liook like "C:\Program Files\TradeStation 8.5 (Build 2289)", (your version may be different)

4. Copy the following folders : "desktop", "MyWork" from old drive to new drive. There will be some files that youi need to OVERWRITE .. Those files are the one that contain ( hopefully) your code..

5. When u get everything working, make sure that you setup automatic backups :)

Glad it worked ...

 

Make sure that you setup auto backups... For next time you need it

File >>"Backup/Restore Tradestation"... then check all boxes(* except Cache) .

I store my backups on different logical drive, then copy it to different PC on the network and back it up on DVD from time to time

      How did you suspect you have cancer?

      By analyst75 · Posted

      Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
