Hi Dennis,

First of all, I would like to thank you for the fantastic work you have done with the MT4-To-CSharp-Bridge-Using-DNNE project. Your solution is extremely useful and well-executed, making it much easier to integrate MT4 with C# applications.

I would like to ask if it would be possible to extend the support of the project to Mql5. Many users, including myself, use this platform and a version compatible with MQL5 would be highly beneficial.

I understand that this might require significant effort, but I am confident that many in the community would greatly appreciate this addition.

Thank you again for your work and for sharing this project with the community.

Hi! Glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately I don't use MQL5 as that platform is specifically built around US laws (I believe the relevant ones are called the "Dodd-Frank act") which bans same symbol hedging etc. As a non-US citizen I have no interest in allowing the US to limit my choices as a trader.

There also turned out to be some annoying limits with DNNE (it won't work with Dependency Injection or MS Entra), and I've therefore shifted my focus to MT4-To-CSharp-Bridge-Using-ZeroMQ instead. This project uses a much cleaner client/server approach where all data is passed as string[] (allowing for 64bit and full .NET flexibility). As such, there should be no issues using MT5 versus MT4 (though I haven't tried it myself). Please see mql-zmq for information on how to call code from MT5.
