How to retrieve values for our variables after restarting the VPS?

[HosseinKOGO]

Hi all,

Let's say I have an array which my EA put values for each element after closing each position. But when I restart my VPS, my EA put default values for each element of this array rather than recent values.
Should I store the values in a file in OnDeinit function and recover them in OnInit function after next start? I have no idea how to do this, so it would be greatly appreciated if you give me an example code of how to do this.
Another question is: Is it a safe way? What will happen if my VPS turns of suddenly and my EA had no time to run OnDeinit() before turning off?

1. That's the only way for many values. A small number can use Global Variables.
   

2. Perhaps you should read the manual. File Functions
