Quick Browser Access to MT5 Reports

🌐 Direct File Access (No Export Needed!)

You can view MT5 HTML reports directly in your browser using the file:// protocol.

URL Format

file:///home/garfield/mt5-docker/config/.wine/drive_c/users/abc/Desktop/ReportHistory-104125640.html

How to Use

Open any web browser (Firefox, Chrome, etc.)
Copy the file path above
Paste in the address bar and press Enter
The report displays immediately!

Why This Works

MT5 saves reports to: C:\users\abc\Desktop\ (in Wine)
This maps to: ~/mt5-docker/config/.wine/drive_c/users/abc/Desktop/
Browsers can read local files via file:// protocol
No need to export, copy, or use utilities!
