What Stays on the Machine, and What Is Asked for Again — Lesotho
Part of a working setup is written to the machine and comes back on its own; part of it is asked for again every time. Which is which is what makes one computer feel ready and another feel new.
Open Exness Account →A terminal that opens ready to work is one whose machine kept four things: the account it was last connected to, the arrangement of windows, the saved templates and the bars already fetched. All four are files, all four survive closing the program, and none of them survives removing it. Everything else is requested again on the way in, which is why the same account feels prepared on one computer and new on another.
What happens between closing and opening
Nothing here is a setting to turn on. It is the ordinary sequence a terminal follows, and knowing it explains why one machine opens ready to work and another opens blank.
- Closing the terminal writes the current arrangement of windows into a profile stored on the machine.
- Opening it again restores that arrangement first, then reconnects to the account that was in use when it closed.
- Anything the machine could not keep — an expired session, a file removed by a cleanup tool — is requested again at that point.
- On a computer shared between several people, each of them has a separate copy of all of it, so one person's arrangement is not the other's.
What a reinstallation does not carry over
A reinstallation is not a restart. Window profiles, saved templates and the bars accumulated for each symbol are files inside the installation, so removing it removes them, and the first session afterwards is as bare as the very first one. The account itself is unaffected — it is held elsewhere — which is exactly why the loss is easy to underestimate until the workspace has to be rebuilt by hand.
Why a low-memory machine behaves differently
Restoring a profile means opening every window in it at once, before the machine has settled. A computer with little memory to spare spends its first minute doing that and can look broken while it is happening, even though nothing is wrong and the same arrangement runs fine an hour later.
The fix is to make the stored arrangement smaller rather than to stop storing one. A profile of three windows opens immediately and the rest can be added by hand on the days they are needed, which converts a slow start into a choice.
A shared computer keeps several copies of everything
Where more than one person signs into the same machine, each of them has their own copy of the profile, the templates and the accumulated bars. Nothing is shared between them, so an arrangement built by one person is simply absent for the next, and a symbol filled in on one side of the machine is unfetched on the other.
That is worth knowing before concluding that something has been lost. Usually it has not been lost — it belongs to a different copy of the same installation.
What survives what
| What | Survives closing the program | Survives removing the installation |
|---|---|---|
| The account the terminal was last connected to | Yes, it reconnects on opening | No, it is added again |
| The arrangement of open windows | Yes, through the stored profile | No, unless the profile was copied out first |
| Saved chart templates | Yes | No, they are files inside the installation |
| Bars already fetched for a symbol | Yes, they sit on disk | No, the fetching starts again |
| An expired session | No, it is requested again on the way in | No |
| Open positions and pending orders | Yes, they are held on the broker side | Yes, they are held on the broker side |
The last row is the one worth remembering: nothing on this list holds a position, so losing all of it costs time rather than exposure.
