# MT5 Helper Utilities
|
|
|
|
This directory contains helper scripts for managing MT5 trading and extracting data safely.
|
|
|
|
## Scripts
|
|
|
|
### view-report.sh
|
|
View MT5 HTML trading reports without browser (prevents VM crash).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./view-report.sh /path/to/ReportHistory-XXXX.html
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### parse-deals.py
|
|
Parse MT5 binary deal files to extract trading data.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 parse-deals.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Output: Account summary with P&L, trade counts, win/loss stats.
|
|
|
|
### export-history.sh
|
|
Guide for safely exporting trade history from MT5.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./export-history.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Why These Are Needed
|
|
|
|
MT5 in Wine/VM crashes when generating reports because:
|
|
1. MT5 tries to open HTML in default browser
|
|
2. No browser installed in Wine environment
|
|
3. Browser launch fails → VM crash
|
|
|
|
These scripts work around that limitation.
