Hi,

As I know we can't use Hyperorder and dynaorder with Metatrader for sending order from other charting softwares like metastock/tradestation/omega prosuite becoz the client API ver.4 of metatrader was not released yet, How do u work without it ?

Hyper order and dynaorder are very good but at now . . .they aren't

If there is any solution please write in this post to use every one

1 .I think we can use windows scripts to automate but it's hard,
2 .If metatrader brokers support web based order form then we can use them
3 . . .

come on and lets talk. . .

Thanks

I haven't done it, but I seem to recall that you can link Dynaorder/Hyperorder to Metatrader 3, which some brokers still maintain.

At least one broker is having so much trouble with MT4 that I'd imagine that it'll be awhile before they drop MT3.

Hi,

one russian guy told me, we can write an expert to read a file included alerts and exec orders and delete the file and wait for new file,

It good,

If the other software can send information to a CSV file then MT can read the file and act on it. No need to delete the file just flag it as read when the other soft ware rewrites it it marks it with a flag as unread. This works as I have used it with Amibroker and MT3 and MT4.

Ok, this is getting reeaal interesting!

So. If I can get MT3's pricefeed into Tradestation Prosuite I can apply some Tradestation "WhizBang Logic X" to the pricedata, and send the entry/exit/condition signal to an MT3 or MT4 EA for order entry or further processing?!?!

I love it. Huge thanks.

One problem....If you use the DDE link to feed data to TS and TS needs X bars then you have to have TS running till the required bars are feed. No past bars are sent and if you turn off TS for say a day you will have a hole in your data. Requiring you to build the data base over again. There are ways to get arround this but it not so user friendly.

Basicly if your whizbang logic x requires 100 bars of data you will have to build that data base up before the WBL X will work.

Hi CockeyedCowboy,

Sorry about the delayed reply, I just saw your post. ( Still recuperating from my vacation... )

Yeah, I see what you mean about data-holes.

I don't know how TS v8.x handles imported data, and I don't know how the 3rd party add-ons to TS v8 like 'OwnData' handle it, but I think I can grab and save history in CSV format if I use TS version 2000i. Hmmm.. OHLC data (I think) anyway, not sure about tick data.

Looks like its time to RTFM...

Thanks
