Reinstall of Tradestation

Recommended Posts

I recently re-installed my os in order to get the Tradestation 9.1 update to work. I backed up my Tradestation program folder and my documents. But, I didn't export my strategies.

 

Where are my strategies located and how do can I import them into my now new copy of Tradestation?

 

Thanks

I have found the answer. The TS stores user work in the "MyWork" folder in the program files location. This is a bad practice because user data should be stored under MyDocuments. Fortunately I backed this up because I knew TS did not work to standard in this regard.. very close though.

If you use the "BackUp/Restore TradeStation" routine under the file choice on the menu bar you can save the back up and it contains everything - charts, elds, workspaces, desktops, even tool bars.

 

When you install a new version of TS you can either select to copy the old enviornment or install it and then restore your back up and you will be exactly as you were.

 

cheers
