Where is the Expert advisor log?

[Deleted] 2015.02.16 15:51

The documentation for print (https://docs.mql4.com/common/print) says:

"It enters a message in the Expert Advisor log."

Where can I find this log?

1) Right mouse click on the expert-tab (or journal-tab) and press open (the log-file is 'flushed' this way too)

2) Terminal -> File -> Open Data Folder

On OSX I get the Wine Explorer showing me the logs but I can't open them as no program is linked to that type.. I can't copy either to finder..

Further I expect them to be the journal but not the expert logs, right?

Jep, they are the same Journal logs I find via "show package content" via right click in finder.. I need the expert log.

Do I need to write it via this FileWrite() function?

Thanks!

Hi Mir,

No, just the 'Journal' tab.
