What is pre-set or set file
What is pre-set or set file.

Set files (or pre-set files) are the settings of the EAs.

- To use in trading place the file to the following folder: C:\Program Files\MetaTrader4\experts\presets and, during attaching EA to the chart - press 'Load'.
We can also create those files pressing 'Save':

- To use in backtesting or optimizing the settings place the file to the following folder: C:\Program Files\MetaTrader4\tester and, during attaching EA to the chart - press 'Load'.
We can also create those files pressing 'Save':

Set files are just a settings of the EA. Nothing more. Just a settings. It save our time because we do not need to type/change the settings in the EA manually. All we need is just to use set files.

If someone is asking you:
"what is the settings in your EA?"
so you will probable will post the set file as a reply (you will create the file with your settings and will attach to your post to the forum).

If someone is asking you:
"what is the settings in your indicators on the chart?"
so you will probable will give template file as a reply.
