MT5 Log Reader

Overview

Read MetaTrader 5 log files programmatically to access Print() output from indicators, scripts, and expert advisors. Implements dual logging pattern where Print() statements go to MT5 logs (human-readable) and CSV files provide structured data for validation.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Validating MT5 indicator/script execution
• Checking compilation or runtime errors
• Analyzing Print() debug output from indicators
• Verifying unit test results (Test_PatternDetector, Test_ArrowManager)
• User mentions checking "Experts pane" or "log" manually
• User asks "did it work?" or "check the output"
