I converted an indicator from MT4 to MT5, when I run it in strategy tester in MT4, the indicator generates a .csv file that is saved in tester\files (in MT4)
In MT5 there is no "files" folder inside the tester folder. But if you load the indicator in a live chart, it saves in MQL5\Files.
Where is the file being saved in MT5 when running in strategy tester?

I discovered the folder path
C:\Users\(Your PC)\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Tester\ Agent
I have the same problem but for reading in a file rather than writing it out during EA initialization in strategy tester. All works fine when running live but when using the ST file not found.
If I put the file in C:\Users\(Your PC)\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Tester\Agent the first thing the agent does on running is clear the directory of any files so this doesn't resolve my problem unfortunately.
Did anyone find a solution?
