Can we use FileWrite for backtest?

[Do Hung]

I have EA as follow that use FileWrite to record indicator information for BACKTEST.

This EA works in real-time trading but NOT for backtest.

I wander, does FileWrite works for backtest. If Yes, what am I wrong?

Thank your all,

//===================================================

void DataRecord()
{
int handle=FileOpen("MyData.csv", FILE_CSV|FILE_READ|FILE_WRITE, ';');

if(handle>0)
{
int ADX_1 = iADX(NULL,0,14,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,1);
int ADX_5 = iADX(NULL,0,14,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,5);
int ADX_15 = iADX(NULL,0,14,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,15);

int RSI_1 = iRSI(NULL, 0, 14, PRICE_CLOSE, 1);
int RSI_5 = iRSI(NULL, 0, 14, PRICE_CLOSE, 5);
int RSI_15 = iRSI(NULL, 0, 14, PRICE_CLOSE, 15);

FileSeek(handle, 0, SEEK_END);
FileWrite(handle, Symbol(),ADX_1,ADX_5,ADX_15,RSI_1,RSI_5,RSI_15);
FileClose(handle);
handle=0;
}
}

It does work, the only diference is the output file appears in the \tester\files\ folder instead of \expert\files\

Good Luck

My tester folder does not have a files folder; where it might be? I have the same question of Do Hung

Either you didn't run your code in the tester, or you're not looking in the correct place.
