There is a difference between __FILE__ and WindowExpertName():
__FILE__ is a predefined Macro Substitution, which saves the name of the file when it is getting compiled (the .mq4 file name, without its extension).
WindowExpertName() is a function which returns the name of the executable file (.ex4), without its extension.
If at some point, you change the name of the executable but used __FILE__ in your code, the result will not change accordingly.

hello guys.
I have a indicator in main windows. Is that possible to get the indicator-file-name in the "indicator" dir?
I can only get the shortname of the indicator using "ChartIndicatorName()".
but the shortname is not equal to the filename...
confusing ...
