I came across this indicator from http://articles.mql4.com/440
As I understand it is supposed to save live data in a .txt file. So... I attached this indicator to a chart and there appears comment "File USDJPY.txt has been created.....". But I can't find USDJPY.txt file anywhere... (it should be in experts/files, but that folder is empty) (tester/files in empty as well)
Help me!
