are there any ECN that allows MT4 Expert Advisor to connect? I guess I could rewrite, but I would like to save some time.

The only way to connect Metatrader to an ECN is through a bridge. Last I checked they were still working on it, but I don't believe they have any retail versions available out there.

Not that I know of.

There are some people that have gone through the trouble of creating a dll plugin for MetaTrader that allows interaction with their broker of choice. As a for-instance, I've got a dll which interfaces with EFXGroup.

I sometimes hook into Excel via a dll. But in your dll scenario MT4 receives its price feed from EFX? and execution is over the Navigator platform? or is MT4 still used to place orders?
I don't know if I could switch from MT4 for charting at this point but the MT4brokers...ehhh. Thanks for clarifying.

Hey Tesla,

I'm trying to do the same thing, but my coding skills are a little rough. I spent a few days figuring out how to make a dll in c# only to find out that c# dll's are managed code and mt4 can't call those. Learned that one the hard way. I think I've got a working c++ dll now (at least it compiles). I used the mfc dll template. My problem now is that I can't call the function in an expert. I keep getting error 127. I've included these lines in my dll:

#define MT4_EXPFUNC __declspec(dllexport)
... //lots of code
MT4_EXPFUNC int __stdcall efxSubmitOrder(int lBuySell, int lVol, _bstr_t sSym, double dPrice, int lOrdType, double dPriceOther1, double dPriceOther2);

In my EA I have:

#import "MetaBridgeC.dll"
int efxSubmitOrder(int lBuySell, int lVol, string sSym, double dPrice, int lOrdType, double dPriceOther1, double dPriceOther2);
#import

I copied the dll file into my expert/libraries folder. I've been using VS2005 c++. Any help or advice you could give me to get around this error would be so greatly appreciated.

Dukascopy offers an API that lets you execute orders and account information off of MT4, but if I remember right it doesn't allow access to their feeds.

The plugins/DLLs would be good product to sell. For example, a Dukas plugin or EFX plugin would be valuable, and I bet plenty of people would buy them.

Tesla, Skyline, etc.... What would be the price?

Actually, Dukascopy gives you their plugin when you open an account with them.

Not sure if anyone is interested but fastbrokersfx(ib for fxlq) has ecn access through MT4 BUT you need a 50K account so apparently the technology is available.

Fastbrokers has lowered the professional account min (MT4 pass-through) from 50k to 10k.

They are an IB for FXLQ.
