print("MetaTrader5 package version: ",mt5.__version__)

# establish connection to the MetaTrader 5 terminal
if not mt5.initialize():
    print("initialize() failed, error code =",mt5.last_error())
    quit()

# display data on MetaTrader 5 version
print(mt5.version())

# display data on connection status, server name and trading account 'as is'
print(mt5.terminal_info())
print()

# get properties in the form of a dictionary
terminal_info_dict=mt5.terminal_info()._asdict()
# convert the dictionary into DataFrame and print
df=pd.DataFrame(list(terminal_info_dict.items()),columns=['property','value'])
print("terminal_info() as dataframe:")
print(df[:-1])

# shut down connection to the MetaTrader 5 terminal
