High Priority Tools:
- check_symbol_data_status: validate symbol history data availability
- get_backtest_history: list all backtest results for EA/symbol
- compare_backtests: side-by-side comparison of multiple backtests
Medium Priority Tools:
- init_project: scaffold new MQL5 project with templates (scalper/swing/grid)
- validate_ea_syntax: pre-compile syntax checking
- check_mt5_status: check MT5 terminal readiness
Low Priority Tools:
- create_set_template: generate .set files from EA inputs
- export_report: export reports to CSV/JSON/Markdown
Other Changes:
- Consolidate config into src/models/config.rs, delete src/config.rs
- Add CurrentAccount with UTF-16LE parsing for common.ini
- Add BacktestPreflight struct for pre-flight checks
- Update backtest handler with active account context
- Update list_symbols to filter by active server
Total tools: 57
MT5 binaries (MetaEditor64.exe, metatester64.exe, terminal64.exe) are all
GUI applications with no command-line data export capability.
Removed:
- export_ohlc - Cannot read proprietary .hst binary format
- export_ticks - Cannot read proprietary .ticks binary format
- list_available_data - Only scanned directories, didn't export
Total tools: 46 → 43
Alternative for data export:
1. Use MT5 History Center GUI → Export
2. Create MQL5 script using CopyRates()/CopyTicks() → FileWrite
3. Run the MQL5 script inside MT5 terminal
**New Tools:**
- export_ohlc: Export OHLC bar data from MT5 history to CSV/JSON
- export_ticks: Export tick data from MT5 tick database to CSV/JSON
- list_available_data: List available OHLC and tick data in MT5
**Implementation:**
- definitions/data.rs: Tool schemas for data export
- handlers/data.rs: Handlers that scan MT5 directories:
- history/*.hst files (OHLC)
- Tester/cache/* (cached data)
- Bases/* (tick data)
- Provides guidance on how to export since MT5 uses proprietary binary formats
- Includes MQL5 script template for programmatic export
**Note:** MT5 uses proprietary .hst and .ticks binary formats.
Direct export requires MQL5 script using CopyRates()/CopyTicks().
