How does this work with Metatrader? #130

Closed eaba closed 5 years ago

eaba commented 5 years ago

Hi all, I am a newbie and I want to understand how this repo can me automate trading with MetaTrader terminal. Any Demo video?

KptKuck commented 5 years ago

This Repo is an API for Metatrader ,not more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface

Hi @eaba! Using this API you can write the experts for MetaTrader using c# language and all power of the .Net framework

@alexssource thanks. Does this API communicate with mtapi.ex4 when imported into metatrader? Can this repo have a gitter channel so we can discuss in real time?

alexssource commented 5 years ago

Hi @eaba! Yes, the mtapi.ex4 runs on metatrader. It opens the specified port with which the C# client will work. As I understand, yes, we can discuss with the MetaTrader almost in real-time (if I understood right this API is asks the tasks queue if there is taks to run, so depends on delay it can be some milliseconds to sleep). Hope it helps!

You're confusing something Gitter Channel -> https://gitter.im/
