faustf: i have in my terminal \MQL4\Files\dataCOT\Finance\forexsymbol.csv  
   string terminal_data_path=TerminalInfoString(TERMINAL_DATA_PATH);
   string filename=terminal_data_path+"\\MQL4\\Files\\dataCOT\\Finance\\forexsymbol.csv";  //

Your code is trying to open "C:\users\«user»\appdata\roaming\Metaquotes\Terminal\«HHHHHHHHH»\MQL4\Files\C:\users\«user»\appdata\roaming\Metaquotes\Terminal\«HHHHHHHHH»\MQL4\Files\ dataCOT\Finance\forexsymbol.csv" which does not exist.

Just open "dataCOT\Finance\forexsymbol.com" and Perhaps you should read the manual.

 but if i print filename  return me  a correct path  o_O
 
Irrevalent. that isn't what you are trying to open. Perhaps you should read the manual; starting with the second paragraph of File Functions - MQL4 Reference
