This is just the kind of thing I have been wondering about. Sorry programmers but I am a complete....., well, I don't really understand all this stuff.

Question.... I have an EA MT4 based and I am tired of hearnig bad luck stories and difficulties of keeping a profitable EA going on MT4 platforms. I do trade live/manually on OANDA (last few years, no complaints).

Sooo....is it possible to bridge/connect create a program that would exist on my computer and read the OANDA data and then autotrade using the MT4 system? So I guess something to read and plot OANDA data in a form the EA can understand and when the EA says enter a position, my computer enters the position as if I was there. OANDA api is $600/m and that's not worth it.

I think this is pretty close to what you guys are talking about is it not?
Anyway, thanks very much and hope to hear your thoughts.

Don.
