- Update 'Others' column to acknowledge Windows MT5 Python package
- Clarify MQL5 compilation: others via GUI/terminal, we do headless
- Add 'Report organization' as unique MT5-Quant feature
- Emphasize focus on backtest analytics and workflow management

## Why MT5-Quant
| | MT5-Quant | Other MT5 MCPs | QuantConnect |
**Focus:** Backtest organization, reporting, and analytics — capabilities MT5 itself doesn't provide.
| | MT5-Quant | Others | QuantConnect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Backtest pipeline | ✅ Full | ❌ | Cloud only |
| Deal-level analytics | ✅ 15+ dims | ❌ | ❌ |
| MQL5 compilation | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
| macOS/Linux native | ✅ | Windows only | Cloud |
| Optimization | ✅ Background | ❌ | ✅ Paid |
| Crash debugging | ✅ Wine/MT5 diagnostics | ❌ | ❌ |
| **Platform** | macOS/Linux native | Windows only | Cloud only |
| **Backtest pipeline** | ✅ Full (compile → run → analyze) | ✅ Via MT5 Python package | ❌ |
| **Deal-level analytics** | ✅ 15+ dimensions | ❌ | ❌ |
| **Report organization** | ✅ SQLite + search + history | ❌ | ❌ |
| **MQL5 compilation** | ✅ Headless (MetaEditor via Wine, no GUI) | ⚠️ Via GUI or terminal | ❌ |
| **Optimization** | ✅ Background + results parsing | ❌ | ✅ Paid |
| **Crash debugging** | ✅ Wine/MT5 diagnostics | ❌ | ❌ |
**Others** typically run on Windows using the [MetaTrader5 Python package](https://pypi.org/project/MetaTrader5/), providing full terminal operations. MT5-Quant fills the gap: **organizing backtest reports, extracting deal-level insights, and managing optimization workflows** — none of which MT5 or its Python API expose natively.

**Why this matters for trading:**
- **No garbage collection** — Process 100k+ deal rows without GC pauses during live analysis
- **Async via Tokio** — Run 50 concurrent backtest analyses on a thread pool
- **Async via Tokio** — Handle multiple tool calls concurrently (poll status while streaming logs)
- **Cross-platform** — Same source compiles to native macOS arm64 and Linux x86_64
- **Type-safe pipelines** — MQL5 compilation, Wine path handling, SQLite queries: all checked at compile time
