Once again the Hackers God surprised me and sent me inspiration at midnight.

And do you know what?
Of course - FST Log Viewer.

See more info and download link here: FST Log Viewer

It works best with FST v1.5.3.1NB.

Changes: FST flushes the log files after each record.

Bug confirmed:

In ActionsDataFeed.cs line 728

/// <summary>
/// Manipulates additional params coming from MetaTrader. 
/// </summary>
private void ParseAndSetParametrs(string parameters)
{
    if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(parameters)) return;

    string[] splitParams = parameters.Split(new[] {';'});

    foreach (string param in splitParams)
    {
        string[] pair = param.Split(new[] {'='}, 2);
        string name = pair[0];
        string rowValue = pair[1];

        switch (name)
        {
            case "cl":
                Data.ConsecutiveLosses = int.Parse(rowValue);
                break;
            case "aSL":
                Data.ActivatedStopLoss = double.Parse(rowValue);
                break;
            case "aTP":
                Data.ActivatedTakeProfit = double.Parse(rowValue);
                break;
            case "al":
                Data.ClosedSLTPLots = double.Parse(rowValue);
                break;
        }
    }
}

All double.Parse(rowValue); must check for proper decimal separator before parsing.
Temporarily you can change your windows localisation to some that uses dot for decimal separator to workaround this issue.

FST shows a warning message and plays an error sound when detects a failed close order.

FST resends close order at every 30 seconds until the warning message is closed or the position is closed.

The position can be also close manually.
