Engineering reference 04
Daily Reporting and Operational Notifications
An engineering reference in operations automation: an independent service that read trading history from MetaTrader 5 without modifying it, rebuilt how each position was opened, reduced and closed, and turned the day into one consolidated report — stating when the day’s data was incomplete.
- Engineering disciplines
- Relevant use cases
- Replacing scattered events with one daily summary
- Reviewing closed positions against configured volume limits
- Knowing whether a day’s report is complete
The engineering challenge.
Trading history arrives as separate events: an opening, a partial reduction, a closing. On their own they say little about a position as a whole, and nothing about how it compares with the volume limits an operation has set.
The difficulty was to turn those events into a coherent daily summary — and to tell a day without exceptions apart from a day whose history is incomplete. A report that looks clean because data is missing is worse than no report, so the state of each run had to stay observable, including after a resumption.
The engineering approach.
The work combined several disciplines.
- Read without modification
- Trade history read from MetaTrader 5 by an independent service, without writing to the platform.
- Lifecycle reconstruction
- Openings, reductions and closings assembled into the lifecycle of each position.
- Reference day
- The reporting day aligned with the trading server’s day, not with a local clock.
- Rule evaluation
- Each fully closed position evaluated against the volume limits configured for the project.
- Completeness check
- Incomplete data detected and reported as such: an incomplete day was never presented as a day without exceptions.
- Consolidated report
- One report per day, carrying its processing state.
- Delivery & exceptions
- Delivery of the report tracked, state kept between runs, and resumptions and exceptions handled explicitly.

MetaTrader 5
The trading platform, read without modification.

Trade history
Openings, reductions and closings of the server day.
Server day
Reconstruction & checks
Position lifecycles, configured volume limits and completeness.
Closed positions
Report
One consolidated report, with its processing state.
What this reference is — and is not.
- It illustrates operations-automation engineering carried out by C.G Solutions. It is not a product offered for sale.
- Only positions fully closed within the reporting day fed this report; it did not monitor open positions live.
- That closing rule belonged to this work: another project would define its own.
- The notification channel and the schedule are adapted to each project; whether a notification arrives depends on the channel used.
- No client is named, and no real data, rule value, volume or operating figure is shown.
- MetaTrader 5 is named to identify the source platform. C.G Solutions is not affiliated with, endorsed by or a partner of MetaQuotes.
