On the Platform There are Two Ways for Saving

The Work Space - The workspace is the charts that you have opened along with the information on these charts such as the attached indices trading systems. Saving a workspace will save all this data and you as a trader can use easily load this information any other time in your platform.

On the workspace button on the MetaTrader 4 (illustrated below) a trader can save several different work spaces & load them at another time.

The Template - The template in other words is the indices trading system you are using to trade with. For example you have just placed a set of 4 indicators on your chart, but you also trade other charts and you do not want to redo all the work of putting the same indicators on the other charts all over again, so what do you do? You save it as a template & then load it on the other charts. But how does a trader do this on the Platform MetaTrader 4.
