Reading MT5/4 history using read-only password and comparing trades vs strat stats

1. Given that MT4/5 has read-only passwords, QA can use these passwords to download history from the broker servers, saving users the hassle of download from trade servers and upload to QA.


2. With the trading history and the strats that are generated, they can be matched according to the magic number. (MT).  With this matching, QA can analyze if the trades on live server is behaving according to the strategy that we have generated or if the performance is deviating from it.


e.g. if the generated strategy has a general win rate of 60%, then if over the last 20 trades, the live server win rate is 40% (or a statistically significant percent off the 60% expectation), then QA can flag the strat in live is not matching its expected stats.  Other than win rate, the range of amount won/loss per trade can also be compared between live and generated.
