MT5 Broker Environment Report

Author: Arnold Holm

 
Author note: run the script on the same account and symbol where the EA or indicator issue occurs, then copy the report from the Experts log. Share only the fields needed for the case. The script deliberately excludes login, owner name, balance, equity, positions, orders, history and credentials.

For a reproducible broker-specific report, include the terminal build, account margin mode, symbol digits/tick size, volume min/max/step, stops/freeze levels, filling policies, permissions, plus the exact Journal/Experts error or trade retcode. If a privacy-safe environment field is missing, please describe the case here so it can be considered for a future version.
 
What is the point of this code? I genuinely don’t understand it. It feels like traders are just adding code for the sake of adding code, without any real usefulness or logical purpose. In my opinion, it doesn’t add any meaningful value and deserves a zero rating.
 
The point is support diagnostics, not another trading signal or strategy. When the same EA works on one broker/account but fails on another, fields such as tick size, volume step, stops/freeze levels, filling mode, permissions and terminal build are often the first things needed to reproduce the difference. The script collects that environment snapshot in one run while deliberately excluding login, balance, positions, history and credentials. It will not be useful to every trader, but it reduces the back-and-forth in broker-specific support cases. If there is a concrete diagnostic field you think is missing, I am happy to evaluate it.
