Configure cAlgo sources location?
Configure cAlgo sources location?
14 Mar 2016, 12:35
Is it possible to configure the location that cAlgo uses to store source code for custom indicators and bots?
In Windows 7 it defaults to:
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\cAlgo\Sources
... but I would like to change this to a dropbox folder so that it gets automatically backed up.
Thanks ...

Hi Stech,
I would use TFS or GIT with Visual Studio for Source Integrity (version control) , they are both free for small teams and amazing tools. One simple feature is that if you make a mistake you can roll-back to the last time you checked in the code.
You can use drop-box for weekly backups.

I forgot to say that when you check-in your code it is all safe on a Microsoft Cloud Server.

Thanks Paul. Isn't Microsoft Cloud Service a paid service (beyond initial free trial)?
I want to be able to check code in and out while disconnected to the internet, so I'm guessing a git-based solution would be best. Also I need to quickly sync my code between my laptop and home PC. Based on these requirements, would using Visual Studio + GIT repo on Dropbox be a good fit?
Cheers ...
