Daichi Narushima da74c11087 Add collect-history command for bulk data collection (#14)
* Add collect-history command for bulk SQLite export

Bundles rates, ticks, history-orders, and history-deals for one or more
symbols into a single SQLite database. Tick collection uses
copy_ticks_range_as_df with a --flags option defaulting to ALL. With
--with-views, optional cash_events and positions_reconstructed views are
derived from history_deals when the required columns are present.

* Extend collect-history with datasets, if-exists, timeframe, view fixes

- Fetch history-orders and history-deals per symbol so --symbol applies
  consistently across all four datasets.
- Add repeatable --dataset (rates, ticks, history-orders, history-deals)
  so ticks are no longer required and any subset can be collected.
- Add --if-exists append|replace|fail to control SQLite table conflict
  behavior instead of hard-coding replace.
- Record the requested timeframe in a timeframe column on the rates
  table so appended runs at different timeframes stay distinguishable.
- Fix positions_reconstructed to exclude positions with no closing
  deals, use volume-weighted open/close prices, and report reversal
  deals (DEAL_ENTRY_INOUT) via volume_reversal / reversal_count without
  contributing to weighted prices.
- Update tests, README, docs, and skill to match.

* Address collect-history review feedback

* Stream collect-history writes per symbol

* Address PR cleanup for collect-history

# mt5cli
[![CI/CD](https://github.com/dceoy/mt5cli/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/dceoy/mt5cli/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
Command-line tool for exporting MetaTrader 5 data to CSV, JSON, Parquet, and SQLite3.
Built on top of [pdmt5](https://github.com/dceoy/pdmt5), a pandas-based data handler for MetaTrader 5.
## Features
- **Multi-format export**: CSV, JSON, Parquet, and SQLite3 output formats
- **Auto-detection**: Format detection from file extensions
- **Comprehensive data access**: Rates, ticks, account info, symbols, orders, positions, and trading history
- **Flexible timeframes**: Named timeframes (M1, H1, D1, etc.) and numeric values
- **Connection management**: Optional credentials, server, and timeout configuration
## Installation
```bash
pip install -U mt5cli MetaTrader5
```
## Usage
```bash
# Export account information to CSV
mt5cli -o account.csv account-info
# Export EURUSD M1 rates to Parquet
mt5cli -o rates.parquet rates-from --symbol EURUSD --timeframe M1 \
--date-from 2024-01-01 --count 1000
# Export ticks to JSON
mt5cli -o ticks.json ticks-from --symbol EURUSD \
--date-from 2024-01-01 --count 500 --flags ALL
# Export symbols to SQLite3 with custom table name
mt5cli -o data.db --table symbols symbols --group "*USD*"
# Export with connection credentials
mt5cli --login 12345 --password mypass --server MyBroker-Demo \
-o positions.csv positions
```
Run as a Python module:
```bash
python -m mt5cli -o account.csv account-info
```
## Commands
| Command | Description |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `rates-from` | Export rates from a start date |
| `rates-from-pos` | Export rates from a start position |
| `rates-range` | Export rates for a date range |
| `ticks-from` | Export ticks from a start date |
| `ticks-range` | Export ticks for a date range |
| `account-info` | Export account information |
| `terminal-info` | Export terminal information |
| `version` | Export MetaTrader 5 version information |
| `last-error` | Export the last error information |
| `symbols` | Export symbol list |
| `symbol-info` | Export symbol details |
| `symbol-info-tick` | Export the last tick for a symbol |
| `market-book` | Export market depth (order book) |
| `orders` | Export active orders |
| `positions` | Export open positions |
| `history-orders` | Export historical orders |
| `history-deals` | Export historical deals |
| `order-check` | Check funds sufficiency for a trade request |
| `order-send` | Send a trade request to the trade server (`--yes` required) |
| `collect-history` | Bundle rates, ticks, history-orders, and history-deals for one or more symbols into a single SQLite database |
Use `order-check` to validate a request payload before running `order-send --yes`.
### `collect-history`
Collect several historical datasets per symbol into one SQLite database in a single MT5 session. Pick datasets with repeatable `--dataset` (default: all four), choose conflict behavior with `--if-exists append|replace|fail` (default: `fail`), and optionally derive `cash_events` / `positions_reconstructed` views from `history_deals` via `--with-views`.
```bash
mt5cli -o history.db collect-history \
--symbol EURUSD --symbol GBPUSD \
--date-from 2024-01-01 --date-to 2024-02-01 \
--dataset rates --dataset history-deals \
--timeframe M1 --flags ALL --if-exists append --with-views
```
History orders and deals are fetched per symbol and concatenated, so the symbol filter is applied consistently across all datasets. The `cash_events` view is derived from symbol-filtered `history_deals`, so account-level cash events with empty or non-matching symbols may be excluded. The `rates` table records the requested `timeframe` so appended runs at different timeframes remain distinguishable. The `positions_reconstructed` view aggregates trade deals by `position_id`, excludes positions without closing deals, and uses volume-weighted open/close prices; reversal deals (`DEAL_ENTRY_INOUT`) are reported via `volume_reversal` / `reversal_count` columns and do not contribute to the weighted prices.
## Requirements

- Windows OS (MetaTrader 5 requirement)
- MetaTrader 5 platform installed
## Development
```bash
git clone https://github.com/dceoy/mt5cli.git
cd mt5cli
uv sync
