Bneu Trade Evidence Auto-Capture – MT5 Screenshot and Trade Record Keeper

Description

When a prop firm questions a trade, what you need is not a memory of it. You need to see the chart, the spread and the news situation as they were at the exact instant you entered or exited. This Expert Advisor captures that proof automatically, the moment it happens: one PNG of your chart plus one record of the numbers, for every entry and every exit, linked by position ticket.

Every record carries the essentials: the event type, position ticket, symbol, direction, volume, fill price, broker server time with its Unix equivalent, the spread read at the instant of the capture, account equity, account currency and login.

It also answers the question firms ask most often after a loss, which is whether news was out. The EA asks the terminal’s built-in economic calendar for high-importance events in the traded currency inside a window you choose, and the record stores the verdict together with the nearest event’s name, currency, signed minutes and importance.

Honest evidence, not convenient evidence. The picture is always the chart the EA is attached to, so a trade on a different symbol gets a full record but deliberately no screenshot, and the record says so in plain words. A capture never overwrites another capture, even when two events land inside the same second.

Tidy by construction. Your storage limit is counted in trade pairs rather than files, so it means the same thing whether a position produced two files or six. When a new trade would exceed the limit the oldest pair is removed first, both halves of it, and the new capture is written after that. The panel mirrors the folders on disk, re-read from the files themselves, so its counts match what your own file manager shows you.

Passive and permanent. It never places, modifies, closes or deletes an order or a position, and there is no trading call in the file at all. It uses no DLLs, never writes into the chart’s comment box, and it never removes your stored evidence when you stop it.

The logic is proven by the Python test harness included with your download: 201 checks, all passing, covering the entry-and-exit pair linkage, partial closes, the storage limit, every calendar state and the screenshot policy.

Requirements: MetaTrader 5, a current build. Attach it to the chart of the symbol you actually trade, because that is the chart the picture will show.

Your download contains the commented .mq5 source, the compiled .ex5, the Python test harness and the illustrated setup guide.
