so they made a free demo that will work for gbpusd which will be fine but i still dont know if you can place orders and such. i guess its unavoidable having to learn c++ :/

oh BTw theres a delphi 6 ver if someone knows delphi

What I can see at the source unit1.cpp is thatit shows a list of transactions:

Form1->StringGrid1->Cells[0][i+1]=IntToStr(xxx[i].order);
Form1->StringGrid1->Cells[1][i+1]=ope[xxx[i].cmd];
Form1->StringGrid1->Cells[2][i+1]=IntToStr(xxx[i].volume);
Form1->StringGrid1->Cells[3][i+1]=AnsiString(xxx[i].symbol);
Form1->StringGrid1->Cells[4][i+1]=DateTimeToStr(xxx[i].open_time);
Form1->StringGrid1->Cells[5][i+1]=FloatToStr(xxx[i].open_price);
Form1->StringGrid1->Cells[6][i+1]=FloatToStr(xxx[i].sl);
Form1->StringGrid1->Cells[7][i+1]=FloatToStr(xxx[i].tp);
Form1->StringGrid1->Cells[8][i+1]=DateTimeToStr(xxx[i].close_time);
Form1->StringGrid1->Cells[9][i+1]=FloatToStr(xxx[i].close_price);
Form1->StringGrid1->Cells[10][i+1]=FloatToStr(xxx[i].commission);
Form1->StringGrid1->Cells[11][i+1]=FloatToStr(xxx[i].profit);

When it opens orders, it probably does that in the expert-advisor, but the zipfile doesn't contain the source of it.

Hello all

Is there any way to issue a buy or sell order from C++ to MQL or the metatrader platform?
Using a DLL does not seem to do it, since I need the order to be initiated from a C++ program, and NOT in response to a MQL query.

Peace Out!

Couldn't you make a MT4-EA that continuously looks if some file exists and if it exists read it? That you can let your C++ program make that file, maybe a textfile with data in it describing an order.

I think that could not be done!
Communication with MetaTrade is only one way - The MT have to query you c++ dll!
