Logging & Output Formats 📝

Logging levels 🔍

The CLI provides two extended logging modes in addition to the default (info):

• --verbose — enables debug-level logging. ℹ️ Useful for tracing account IDs, symbol visibility, ticket numbers.

• --trace — enables very detailed logs (wire/stream-level). ⚠️ Warning: very noisy, mostly for troubleshooting connectivity or gRPC issues.

By default only important info / warn / error messages are printed.

Output formats 📤

Many commands support an -o, --output option:

• text (default) — human-readable, concise output.
• json — structured JSON, suitable for parsing by scripts and external systems.

Examples:

# Positions in JSON
📊 dotnet run -- positions -p demo -o json

# Dry-run in JSON
🤖 dotnet run -- buy -p demo -s EURUSD -v 0.10 --sl 1.0700 --tp 1.0800 --dry-run -o json

---

Dry-run mode 🛑

--dry-run shows what would be executed without sending anything to the server. This is especially useful for testing and debugging scripts.

# Preview a reverse order without sending
👀 dotnet run -- reverse -p demo -s EURUSD --mode net --sl 1.0700 --tp 1.0850 --dry-run
