Hi all,
i'd like to show my account details (current trades, closed trades, active balance and so on) to other users through external connection. Is there a way with mt4 or some other external tool to show these details in real-time acting like a server where they can connect and see account details?

thanks

Skyline

Hi Skyline

Metatrader has a read only investors password, others can see your account, but cant place trades.

Yes i know but as far as I understand with investor account users can change settings, change EA parameters (if any is set) and so on, i'd like that users can only show account with no way to interact with metatrader, is this possible?

Anyone know the answer to this?

Yes, you can register a domain and setup a hosting account. Then use the ftp feature to ftp the account statement every 10 minutes or so. Provide your investors with a link to the statement eg. www.wonderpips.com/statement.html and viola!

Nope. User's can't do anything basically, as far as I know. You can easily test this by simply logging in (you yourself I mean) using your investment password and trying to change settings, etc.



Cheers,
Diam0nd

How do you figure out your investor password?

When you open your demo account, at the final screen where you see your login and password, there will also be a third line, called investor password. Thats it basically. So you give someone the login and the investor password.

For a real account, you will be given both password and investor password by the broker.

Hello,

I came across this listing of the changes that were put into MT4 Build 192 in April 2006 and it included a note about the Publisher sending a .gif file with a detailed statement (the graph file). However, I don't see any option to have a detailed statement with the graph attached when publishing a statement to the web.

Here is the quote from the Metaquotes News section page 7:

21 April 2006 MetaTrader 4 Client Terminal Build 192 will be released on 26 April, 2006.

What’s new:
1. Fixed error of libraries compiling.
2. Fixed error of history updating when changing accounts.
3. Fixed drawing of the list of open positions.
4. Fixed drawing of anchoring points for Equidistant Channel.
5. Only selected trendlines are available for grouped moving of objects.
6. Expert initialization function can only be called after all data have been income when starting the terminal or changing accounts.
7. МQL4: Added access to Fibo objects levels properties from programs.
8. MQL4: Fixed reading error for large strings with the FileReadString function.
9. Tester: Added optimization results cache.
10. Tester: Immediate stopping of testing when not enough memory.
11. Tester: The result is discarded if a testing limit has been reached during optimizing.
12. Tester: Added automated deletion of testing sequences in 28 days after the last access.
13. Tester: Manual changing of the «Recalculate» parameter is stored and applied at terminal starting.
14. Tester: Added automated controlling of the «Recalculate» parameter when working with testing data.
15. Tester: Added possibility to display optimization results as a 2D-graph.
16. Tester: Improved working with memory.
17. Tester: Fixed tooltips drawing on optimization graph.
18. Fixed opening of a new chart when there is a large amount of symbols available.
19. Added keeping saved of the Full Screen mode.
20. MetaEditor: Improved working when using two monitors.
21. MetaEditor: Fixed displaying of compilation error line pointer.
22. Enhanced saving of the terminal settings when using two monitors.
23. Added displaying of SL and TP for symbols processed in the Request mode.
24. Fixed drawing of objects in monthly charts.
25. Extended operation of the data publishing function: The Publisher now sends a GIF file, as well, if an detailed report is applied.
26. Added possibility to hide and show symbols as a group in the «Market Watch» window.
27. Fixed internal news and internal mail displaying.
28. Added the attempt to add the new or hidden symbols symbols in «Market Watch» at opening a profile with the charts containing these symbols.
29. Added the selection of objects from Object List window.
30. Fixed the final calculation of maximal drawdown in the detailed report.
31. Revised MetaEditor Dictionary.[/quote]

Perhaps this is referencing only the local PC publisher output and not the web output, but does anyone know how to force MT4 to deliver a detailed statement via the FTP interface?

Thanks!

Well, I posted this same question to the Metaquotes forum and got a very nice result, so I will post the fix here for the benefit of others.

By default, the Publisher is programmed to use an html template for the output of statements that are FTP'd up to your site. This template (statement.htm) does NOT include the balance curve graph normally included when you save a detailed report. In order to get MT4 to use the detailed report w/graph instead of the standard report, please follow these steps or go to the bottom of this post for the "quick and easy" method:

#1. Navigate to your C:\Program Files\MT4\templates folder
#2. Save a copy of the file called "StatementDetailed.htm" to your PC desktop or an empty working folder.
#3. Go back to your MT4\templates folder, rename the file "statement.htm" to "statementold.htm" and leave it in the MT4\templates folder.
#4. Rename the copy of "StatementDetailed.htm" you previously saved to "statement.htm" and then move it back to the MT4\templates folder. You're done!

If you ever want or need to have the original statement for some reason, then simply delete the altered "statement.htm" file you just made from MT4\templates and then rename "statementold.htm" back to "statement.htm" and your back to the original.

I have posted the altered files "statement.htm" and "statementold.htm" in this message so if you like, you can simply download and install both of these to your MT4\templates folder as a quick easy fix. There's nothing "broker specific" in these templates, so they will work with any MT4 platform, unless they ever change the formatting for the statements. Just thought I'd share this with anyone who is interested.
