# Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Run `verify_setup` first — it checks all paths and returns actionable hints.
|
|
|
|
## Wine Not Found
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
|
|
Confirm `/Applications/MetaTrader 5.app` exists and has been launched at least once.
|
|
|
|
Check detection:
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash scripts/platform_detect.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If using CrossOver, confirm bottle is named `MetaTrader5`.
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install wine64 # Debian/Ubuntu
|
|
sudo dnf install wine # Fedora/RHEL
|
|
which wine64 # confirm on PATH
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## terminal64.exe Missing
|
|
|
|
MT5 unpacks `terminal64.exe` only after first launch.
|
|
|
|
1. Open MetaTrader 5.app
|
|
2. Wait for initialization (~30s)
|
|
3. Quit
|
|
4. Re-run setup:
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash scripts/setup.sh --yes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## MCP Server Not Appearing
|
|
|
|
### Claude Code
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
claude mcp list # should show MT5-Quant
|
|
claude mcp remove MT5-Quant # remove stale entry
|
|
claude mcp add MT5-Quant -- /absolute/path/to/mt5-quant
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Must use absolute path** — relative paths break when Claude starts from different directories.
|
|
|
|
### Windsurf
|
|
|
|
1. Check logs: `~/.windsurf/logs/`
|
|
2. Verify executable path is absolute
|
|
3. Test manually: `./mt5-quant --help`
|
|
|
|
## Config Not Found
|
|
|
|
Set `MT5_MCP_HOME` or ensure config exists at:
|
|
- macOS: `~/.config/mt5-quant/config/mt5-quant.yaml`
|
|
- Project: `config/mt5-quant.yaml`
|
|
|
|
## Report Not Found After Backtest
|
|
|
|
1. **Wrong symbol name** — brokers use custom names (`XAUUSDm`, `XAUUSD.cent`). Check `verify_setup` or look in `<terminal_dir>/history/`.
|
|
|
|
2. **No history data** — open MT5, open symbol chart, wait for history download.
|
|
|
|
3. **EA crash at startup** — check `<terminal_dir>/MQL5/Logs/` for `OnInit` errors.
|
|
|
|
4. **Date range has no trades** — try wider range or confirm symbol was active.
|
|
|
|
## MetaEditor Compile Errors
|
|
|
|
Check `<terminal_dir>/MQL5/Logs/`:
|
|
|
|
- **Missing `#include`** — copy dependencies into `Experts/` alongside `.mq5`
|
|
- **Stale `.ex5`** — delete old binary and recompile
|
|
|
|
## No Deals in Backtest Report
|
|
|
|
- Use `model=0` (every tick) — models 1/2 skip intra-bar movement, producing zero deals for grid/martingale EAs
|
|
- Check `.set` file values appropriate for symbol/broker
|
|
- Confirm `OnInit()` returns `INIT_SUCCEEDED` (MT5 Journal tab)
|
|
|
|
## Optimization Never Finishes
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# From Claude:
|
|
tail_log(job_id=X, filter=errors)
|
|
get_optimization_status(job_id=X)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If MT5 crashed, edit `<terminal_dir>/terminal.ini` and remove line containing `OptMode=-1`, then retry.
|
|
|
|
## Permission Denied
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chmod +x /path/to/mt5-quant
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Still Stuck?
|
|
|
|
1. Run `verify_setup` and share output
|
|
2. Check `tail_log` for errors
|
|
3. Review `<terminal_dir>/MQL5/Logs/` for EA errors
