Using external file to store Variable content in case of MT crash

Hello folks, I am wondering if there is a way to export some trade parameters from an EA to an external file. Maybe a txt? I would like to save the target for an open Order, as an example. In case MT4 crashes, the EA initialization will read this information and this way can make sure that the position is treated as if was meant to be treated! Anybody any input/hints for me?
