I have a quick question. At the start of the video you mentioned that it had to be a c++ dll (MFC). Now, Im rather a novice programmer. Am I not able to write a dll in C# to work with Metatrader? Is the only language I can use C++?

Thanks and regards
Anton
No you can not use C# to write the DLL ... The DLL has to be in C++, now nothing stops you from writing a C# app that will communicate with the C++ DLL but that would be a lot of work. Use Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2008 which is free
