A new script has been designed to provide comprehensive details on brokers, accounts, and instrument specifications. It builds upon the "MQL4 Reference / Constants, Enumerations and Structures / Environment State / Symbol Properties." This script also derives inspiration from the "Market Info" script by Sergey Mechanic, which can be found in code repository 11223.

Through detailed comparison, the script's output has been matched against the "contract specification" available via platform navigation (View / Symbols / Properties), ensuring accuracy and reliability. The results from this comparison confirm the script’s consistency and usefulness in extracting essential data. This tool proves beneficial for developers and analysts in checking and verifying the contract details of trading instruments directly within the trading environment.
