Saving Signals in the Registry

what advantage has saving the trades in the registry instead of a csv or something? just to be curious....

I think there might be some windows dll which you need to import, or if such a dll does not exist you can search for the command and execute it trough the cmd

http://commandwindows.com/reg.htm -> maybe a good point to find out the commands.

and i have found this example in how to execute a command.. your might be similar..

//---- we need to define import of SHELL32 DLL
#import "shell32.dll"
//---- defining ShellExecute
/* Normally we should define ShellExecute like this:
int ShellExecuteA(int hWnd,string lpVerb,string lpFile,string lpParameters,string lpDirectory,int nCmdShow);

But, we need to keep lpVerb,lpParameters and lpDirectory as NULL pointer to this function*/
//---- So we need to define it as (look: "string" parameters defined as "int" to keep them NULL):
int ShellExecuteA(int hWnd,int lpVerb,string lpFile,int lpParameters,int lpDirectory,int nCmdShow);
//---- we need to close import definition here
#import

have fun. and please response to my question why spamming the registry instead of a simple file... or database if you want to log a large dataset..

Wow Zzueg thanks for your immediate input. Pertaining to your curiosity, it is just a preference, no particular substantiated reason.
