File open in strategy tester?

[Daniel Sic]

Hi, 

I wanted to try my news system in the strategy tester but I get error on the handle when I it comes to FileOpen.. Error code unknow error it say.

Maby it can't open files in the strategy tester?

Also when it checks! IsFileExist it can't find the file but it's there cause it manage to download it

Any suggestions what can be wrong?

I know sometimes how you access a file can cause issues.  Like if you open the file in one spot, and then try to read it (other than a certain way, like read_only) somewhere else in the program, it can cause you issues in your code.

You can't open a file in \MQL4\Files with the Strategy Tester. Please check the documentation :

The file is opened in the folder of the client terminal in the subfolder MQL4\files (or Tester\Files in case of testing).
