Screenshot

The Meta Extender can be configured to take a screenshot each time a trade is opened or closed. All screenshots will be saved in an output folder. To enable this feature, please refer to the Other settings widget.

Folder path and data organization​

The Meta Extender manages its file and folder input and output within the live folder. You can access these folders via the Windows start menu or through a shortcut configured on your Windows desktop, as shown in the image below.

<META_TRADER_INSTANCE_NAME> shall be your MetaTrader instance name, for example, MetaTrader 4 IC Markets.

The screenshots, identifiable by the order number at the beginning, are in the output folder designated for it. The appearance of this folder is depicted in the following image.
