Despite what was shown in the previous article, the task may appear simple. In reality, several problems remain, along with many tasks that still need to be completed. You, dear reader, may imagine that everything is easy and straightforward. Out of inexperience, you may simply accept whatever is presented to you. And that is a mistake you should try to avoid. Even worse is trying to use something without truly understanding what exactly you are using. Beginners often pass through a copy-and-paste stage. If you do not want to remain stuck at that stage forever, you should learn how to use certain tools. One of the tools most often used by programmers is documentation. The second is testing, supported by log files. Here we will see how to do this.

As for Chart Trade and the Mouse Study indicator, their use on a real account presents no problem. However, Chart Trade by itself, without support from the Expert Advisor, is completely useless.

So, in this article we will discuss a subject that, in most cases, is what a programmer actually does. This differs greatly from what many people imagine a programmer's work to be. When we talk about programming, we spend a great deal of time studying and analyzing data. Only a small part of that time is spent writing code.

Why am I saying this? Because many people imagine that programming consists of continuously writing large amounts of code. In reality, this is done only after analyzing various data and thinking through possible solutions. It is not unusual for a programmer to spend quite a lot of time analyzing files that they may have created themselves in order to understand how everything works. Sometimes these log files are replaced by a debugging session, if that is possible.

However, when the volume of data is large and the analysis takes a long time, it is often preferable to rely on log files. In this article, I will explain how these files can be used to find a possible solution to a problem. To begin, let us examine the existing problems.
