Hello traders,

Guys, any idea how brokers collect information in our acc running experts?
I was thinking about the LOG file created in the MQL log folder, but, they should have access for that folder, so, I don't think they could get the log info by direct access on that way.
What do you guys think about that?

They don't have access to any folder ... Not even your charts setup.

The only thing they know about your trading is if an action (open/close/modify) is requested by you (manual) or by an EA.

Thank u for reply @FerruFx

Hummm... so, the broker can not access the info that an EA is generating into the platform?
For example, when we load an EA, the Experts and Journal tabs generate some info there... in the Experts tab, for example, it load the INPUTS of the EA, do you think that brokers can not get any info about that?

This other example, the INPUTS of the EA are exposed below (in the Experts Tab):

No I don't think so. These are printed for the log file.
