So I want to work on a laptop on the weekend, chart studies. Then transfer those studies to a desktop. Is their an efficient way to do this with MT4?

Sure. This is what I do when I move from PC's.

Open your platform and go to File at the top and choose Open Data Folder
Highlight then copy all the files this directory.
Copy the contents of that folder to a USB or OneDrive/Google Drive and then download it onto your other PC.
When you want to load everything just copy all those files and replace everything in your other PC's MT4 Data Folder with these files.

Let us know if you run into any issues :)

PS: If you need to Zip, use 7-Zip (Download here).

I wonder what specific files are responsible for the transfer. I will have to do some experimenting!
