Accessing the Data directory can be achieved directly from the settings widget on the Application login menu.
In addition, accessing the data directory can be done directly by following the instructions below.
On Windows, this may be achieved by opening a File Explorer window and entering the following string in the address bar:
- %LOCALAPPDATA%\StocksToTrade\
This string is a shortcut variable that allows quickly accessing the following user directory:
- C:\Users\My_User_Account\AppData\Local\StocksToTrade\
On Mac OS X, this may be achieved by accessing the following directory:
- ~/Library/Preferences/StocksToTrade/backup
The simplest way to do so in Finder is by pressing the following key combination:
- CMD + SHIFT + G
And then entering the string above to quickly access the location.
