Hi
Do file functions work in stratergy tester? I don't think they do
I was trying the following to no avail

int start()
{
//----
int handle;
calculateIndicators();
handle=FileOpen("eurud_1min.csv", FILE_CSV|FILE_WRITE|FILE_READ, ";");
if(handle>0)
{
// write data
FileSeek(handle,0,SEEK_END);
FileWrite(handle, Bid, Ask, Point, isBuying, isSelling);
FileClose(handle);

}
//----
return(0);
}
 
file functions work. but in case of testing all the processed files must be placed in the tester\files directory
 
good info, I didn't know that
Is this in the dictionary/help file??

I've create a dll enable you to save your files outside the MetaTrader 4\experts\files
You can download it with the source code (VC++ & MQL4) from here:
