File_Write problem

[samjesse]

Hi
I am not sure if I am doing this right.

   int filehandle=FileOpen("alosh.csv",FILE_WRITE|FILE_CSV);   
 
// and inside the loop
 
         if(TimeToString(_Period) == "M1") 
            FileWrite(filehandle,Y);

Yes, it looks correct to me.

 

[samjesse]

where is it file located? I searched for no avail.

 

[Enivid]

For demo/real trading:
/MQL5/Files/

For backtesting:
/tester/<agent name>/MQL5/Files/

 

[samjesse]

I don't have Files under MQL5 in my Window 7 installation. I further searched MQL5 for the file for no avail.
FileIsExist() reports true.

hummm

Do you run backtest or a forward demo test?

 

[samjesse]

none. just launching an indicator with an member function of one object using the File writing stuff.

 

[Enivid]

How are you launching it?

 

[samjesse]

in debugging mode, hitting the run button on the tool bar. or attaching the indicator to a chart.

Hmmm... I don't know where the file is saved in the Debug mode. Try searching for "alosh.csv" file via Windows.
