How Do I Reset My MT5 Platform Settings?

Resetting your MT5 platform settings can help resolve persistent issues or restore default configurations. Here’s how to do it:

1. Backup Important Files: Before resetting, back up your profiles, templates, and any custom indicators or scripts.

2. Open the Data Folder:

   • Go to "File" in the top menu and select "Open Data Folder."
   • This opens the folder where all your MT5 settings and data are stored.

3. Delete the Configuration Files:

   • Navigate to the config folder.
   • Delete the profiles folder and any other configuration files (like terminal.ini).

4. Restart MT5: Close and reopen the MT5 platform. It will recreate the deleted files with default settings.

5. Reconfigure Your Settings: After resetting, you may need to reconfigure your chart layouts, indicators, and other settings.
