Log4mql – library MetaTrader 4

Log4mql is an MQL4 (MetaQuotes MetaTrader 4 Language) library for flexible logging to files and the terminal console. It is modeled after the Log4j Java library.

Documentation (GitHub): 

Usage in your Code:

CLog4mql::getInstance().error(__FILE__, __LINE__, "Something unexpected happen");

or (for more frequent usage)

CLog4mql* logger = CLog4mql::getInstance();
logger.error(__FILE__, __LINE__, "Something unexpected happen");
logger.info(__FILE__, __LINE__, "Calcumation done");
logger.debug(__FILE__, __LINE__, StringFormat("The result of %s is %d", string1, value1));

Don’t forget at the end of your EA/Indicator/Script:

 CLog4mql::release();

or

logger.release();
