Hi Gordon et al,

I don't need to know how to start MT4 other than us doing it ourselves. My quandary is how to find out when the account is sitting idle and then change to a different account # along with have the appropriate charts profile change along with them.

As informed by Gordon, the Help files say that one can modify the start.ini file for startup options and might accomplish it that way. But looking in the config folder there is no actual start.ini file there at all. Perhaps it is optional. There is a number of other ones, most of which are complied. But there are two files:Terminal.ini and MetaEditor.Ini files that are text files, but for the most part they just have information about the physical layout and configuration of these two executable programs.

Reason:
