MetaTrader 4 API

Hello,

I was reading on the forums that only MT3 offered API access and reading the MetaQuotes website I came across this. Am I missing something?

Forex Trading Software: MetaTrader 4 API — Support

Please post your comments, if the software is available are the brokers not allowing us to use this feature?

Regards,

Hello,

I have some EA's. Im looking for some kind of API or program that allows me to manage more than 2 accounts (maybe 50) at same time with one EA. Some representatives from aleecoFX and alpari told me there is no way to do it, even with MultiTerminal i cannot do it coz it doesnt support EA's...

What can i do in my case or what is my option?

Thanks!

Best regards and happy new year!

You need the MT4 multi account manager.

We have just finished our EA broadcaster. I wanted something that would not only copy orders, but transmit them over the net. On the client side, it will copy orders exactly the same as the master EA. It will transmit to hundreds of clients.

This way, we can sell our EA's to our clients on a monthly basis, without someone stealing the code. They never actually get the EA.

Its currently in Beta,but looks good so far. We still have some safety issues left to deal with . MM etc.

Exclamation How to use the mt4 datafeed API?

Hi,
I am using the mt4 client and I want to use the datafeed API.
I don't know where to find it and the examples.
I read that it's supposed to be in the mt4 server API dir.
How do I get the mt4 server? is it the same as the mt4 client?
Thanks

MT4 Server is at sale by Metaquotes. And then you need the data providers to feed it.

MetaTrader DataFeed API Protocol

Is anybody aware of any documentation available on the MetaTrader Server / DataFeed / Manager API protocol?

My broker is MB Trading, an ECN which does not support MetaTrader, and I am looking into writing a MB Trading -> MetaTrader bridge.

It looks like the most reliable way would be to reverse engineer the MetaTrader server protocol(s) and implement a MetaTrader compatible server which could be coupled to an arbitrary quote data and order execution source.

I am competent with MetaTrader from the standpoint of MQL programming, but I haven't done any serious research into the communication yet between the MetaTrader client software and the server software on the Market Maker's end.

Before I embark down the (hopefully not too) painful path of reverse engineering the MetaTrader server software, can anyone point out to me if this has already been done, or if there is any documentation available on the MetaTrader server communication protocol?

..But you still could download the SHFileOperationTest.mq4 sript. It appears just in the fist line of the post.
