This tool generates two CSV files: one with filtered deal records and another that groups buy/sell deals by DEAL_POSITION_ID. It calculates volume-weighted entry and exit prices while preserving broker-recorded commission, swap, and fee data, separate from the gross trading result.
## What it Reports
- Deal, order, and position identifiers.
- Symbol, magic number, direction, entry type, time, price, and volume.
- Broker-recorded profit, commission, swap, and fee.
- Total entry and exit volume per position identifier.
- Volume-weighted entry and exit prices.
- Gross result, total costs, net result, deal count, and lifecycle status.
## Lifecycle Statuses
- COMPLETE: Entry and exit volumes match within tolerance.
- OPEN_OR_INCOMPLETE: Entry volume remains unmatched.
- EXCESS_EXIT: Exit volume exceeds recorded entry volume.
- COMPLEX_REVERSAL: An INOUT reversal exists, avoiding a misleading simple allocation.
## Inputs
- InpDaysBack: History window from 1 to 3650 days.
- InpSymbolScope: Current chart symbol or all symbols.
- InpMagicFilter: -1 for every magic number, or a specific non-negative magic.
- InpDealsFileName and InpPositionsFileName: Two distinct safe CSV filenames.
- InpUseCommonFolder: Common Files folder when enabled.
- InpDelimiter: Comma (44) or semicolon (59).
## Setup
1. Compile RoundTripCostReconcilerMT5.mq5 with RoundTripCostCore.mqh in the same folder.
2. Attach the Expert Advisor to any chart.
3. Select the history scope and optional exact magic filter.
4. Choose two distinct safe CSV filenames.
5. Read the Experts log, then retrieve the CSV files from the specified folder.
## Safety and Limitations
The utility is designed for safety, only reading account history and writing local CSV files. It does not interact with orders or use external services. Results are dependent on the broker's historical data. Reversals are classified as complex to maintain accuracy, making it an accounting aid rather than a profit guarantee.
