What problem does it solve?
This Skill reads MetaTrader 5 log files programmatically to access Print() output from indicators, scripts, and expert advisors. It supports a dual logging pattern where Print() statements go to MT5 logs for human readability and CSV files provide structured data for validation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Log exploration: Filter and search MT5 logs to surface relevant messages, errors, and timing.
- Validation workflow: Correlate log output with unit tests and validation checks to confirm correct behavior.
- Troubleshooting: Quickly diagnose issues reported in the Experts pane or runtime logs by inspecting messages and version info.
Quick Start
Provide or point to the MT5 log file (e.g., $MQL5_ROOT/Program Files/MetaTrader 5/MQL5/Logs/YYYYMMDD.log) and specify the keywords or indicators you want to investigate, for example: search for "MyIndicator" and "error" on today's log to confirm successful execution.
