Strategy Tester agent: meaning of ‘bytes loaded’ and access to the EX5 fingerprint

[223151]

Hello MetaQuotes team,

I am trying to establish the provenance of an EX5 file loaded by a local MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester agent. In one run, the agent journal reported “expert file added ... 239101 bytes loaded,” while the frozen local EX5 file measured 239012 bytes. I do not know whether these figures refer to the same representation.

Could you please clarify:

1. In the Strategy Tester documentation, what data does the MD5 digital fingerprint cover: the raw EX5 bytes, a serialized task or parameter block containing the EX5, or something else?

2. Can a user retrieve that fingerprint through a supported terminal or agent log, API, report, or tool?

3. What exactly does “bytes loaded” measure in the agent journal? Can it differ from the local EX5 file size because of packaging or another transformation?

4. Is there a supported way to identify or hash the exact EX5 bytes received by a local agent after a run, without rerunning the test?

Please point me to any authoritative documentation and indicate which platform builds it applies to.

Thank you.
