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.
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.

Parse MT5 log files programmatically to extract and validate Print() output from indicators, scripts, and expert advisors. The Skill reads UTF-16LE, tab-separated logs from the MT5 Logs directory, searches for specific keywords and error patterns, and surfaces compilation or runtime errors without modifying source files.
Yes. Automate validation by filtering MT5 logs for specific indicators, scripts, or advisors to correlate Print() statements with unit tests and validation checks. Search for keywords, version info, and debug entries to confirm correct execution across multiple components in a single workflow.
Extract and inspect messages, version info, and error entries directly from MT5 log files to quickly diagnose issues reported in the Experts pane or runtime logs. Pattern-based search surfaces relevant compilation and runtime errors without manual log inspection.
Yes. The Skill supports a dual logging pattern where Print() statements go to MT5 logs for human readability while CSV files provide structured data. Correlate both formats within a single validation workflow to confirm behavior across indicators and advisors.
The Skill automates path construction to today's log file in the MT5 installation directory (e.g., MQL5/Logs/YYYYMMDD.log). Specify keywords or indicator names to search the correct log without manual path lookup.
The Skill reads UTF-16LE, tab-separated logs and reports results without altering source files. Logs must be accessible from the MT5 installation path; search accuracy depends on keyword specificity and log retention policies within your MT5 environment.
