So far I haven't seen any MT4, or ECN brokers successfully integrating these features yet. IMO I just don't think the programmers are having any luck with it, correct me if I am wrong. Although I'm still holding out hope
It's me...

Every ECN offers API access, if you are a good MQL4 programmer you shouldn't have too much trouble porting your system to a real programming language.

Alternatively, you can use software like Ninjatrader or Neoticker and use their existing infrastructure to connect to IB or MBTrading (Ninja also offers Hotspot-connectivity on a beta-basis).

Along with Neoticker, MB also connects to NinjaTrader & AbleSys Trading Systems for Auto-Trading.

Ninjatrader is probably the best place to start, though there is no magic bullet for the complexity inherent in unattended ECN trading.

I do it with MT4. I have a pinging server that kicks off emails if the trade server goes down.

I also wrote a java program that sends instant messages every time a trade is made, and at the top of every hour.

I also have a web server set up to check the MT4 ledger at any time.



My next project is to have the pinging server dial my work number with a prerecorded message "the server is offline" etc etc. I'm thinking of recording one with Philbun saying "Is that your final answer? Right for a million dollars!" after passing the mark.

I would take a careful look at their support agreement before considering smartquant.

MT4 was developed for MM brokers and not everyone fully trusts it. Why not to use API instead?

As far asd I know, three ECN brokers, Deltastock, Dukascopy, and MB Trading, offer automated trading. Deltastock and Dukascopy are cheaper, but you have to trade bigger amounts of money.

MB trading is not ECN broker. they are saying that they are , but in fact they are not. About Deltastock I have no info, but Dukascopy is clean ECN broker

Could you please tell me what makes you think that MB is not an ECN? When I place an order tween the bid and ask, it reflects immediately into the market.
