Storage of Data on other than C: drive

Unfortunately my SSD C: drive is only limited in disk space. How can I store the historical tickstory data on a different drive than C: and also have MT4 point to that drive for the backtesting data.
I already installed MT4 outside of C: but the data folder by default gets created on App Data in Windows on C: and I have no idea how to change that and then also link Tickstory to it.
Thanks for answering to this eventual newbie question!

Hi El_Alcalde,

The quickest way to move your downloaded tick data over to an external drive is to move the contents of your "Dukascopy Store Folder" over to the new location, then change your Tickstory settings to point to this new folder. If you want to move your entire Metatrader installation and data to a specific folder, please have a read of these threads which ask the same question:

Hope this helps!
