If yo use BackTest Kicker to do multiple tests in a row it will save the Cache and XML for Back and Forward optmization on the report folder.Hi,
Is there a way to open Metatrader 5 optimization cache file (folder -> tester/cache/) with another software and export the data in .csv format or another format different than .xml?
or
Is there a way to export optimization results in another format different than .xml?
Thanks!!
Im looking in a way to open the .opt file too but its not to export to a csv, I want to export a list of Inputs for specific passes

Have a look at the code included with the recently released book "MQL5 Programming for Traders" -- https://www.mql5.com/en/book/
I haven't tried myself, but there is an OptReader.mqh header file that may help you... There's a vast library of useful classes/utilities & examples -- have a look at https://www.mql5.com/en/code/45596
Let me know how you get on, I'm kind of curious about what you're trying to do.

MQL5 Programming for Traders – Source Codes from the Book. Part 7
- www.mql5.com
The final seventh part of the book discusses the advanced capabilities of the MQL5 API, which will be useful when developing programs for MetaTrader 5. These include custom financial symbols, built-in economic calendar events, and general-purpose technologies such as networking, databases, and cryptography.
Anyone figure it out?
Any idea why this does not work?
It compiles but it never sees the .opt files in the directory.

#include <OptReader.mqh> // Removed 'input' keyword to allow modification string optDirectory; // Will be set dynamically input string csvDirectory = "C:\\pythonscript\\automatedbacktest\\Reports"; void OnStart() { // Set the directory for .opt files optDirectory = TerminalInfoString(TERMINAL_DATA_PATH) + "\\Tester\\cache\\"; string filePattern = "*.opt"; string optFile; // Single string to hold the file name string searchPattern = optDirectory + filePattern; // Correct pattern with directory long totalFiles = 0; // Variable to store the number of files found long fileHandle; // Use long for the file handle // Get a list of .opt files fileHandle = FileFindFirst(searchPattern, optFile); // Use a single string variable if (fileHandle != INVALID_HANDLE) { do { string optFilePath = optDirectory + optFile; // Correct path concatenation string baseFileName = StringSubstr(optFile, 0, StringLen(optFile) - 4); string csvFilePath = csvDirectory + "\\" + baseFileName + ".csv"; // Create an OptReader instance for the .opt file OptReader reader(optFilePath); // Pass the file path to the constructor // Export the data to a CSV file reader.export2CSV(csvFilePath); // Assuming export2CSV is a void function Print("Data exported to CSV for file: ", optFilePath); totalFiles++; // Increment the total files processed counter } while (FileFindNext(fileHandle, optFile)); // Corrected the loop condition FileFindClose(fileHandle); // Close the file search handle } else { Print("No .opt files found in the directory: ", optDirectory); } Print("Export completed. Total files processed: ", totalFiles); }
