I have a similar request. I'd like to transmit my OWN EA signals from one MT4 account to another one on my computer.

Can this be done?

Thanks for this software effort.

EDIT) It worked! By opening 2 H1 charts in my "signal provider" MT4, and having my EA on one, with the signalproviderEA on the other on, it executed the trades to the 2nd "signalprocessor" MT4.

Will it support OrderModify() & OrderClose()?
Yes, it supports all kinds of orders.

Hi, I am trying your software, and cannot get it to operate. The signal provider writes the file in the directory, but the processor says no new task. What do you think, or what am I doing wrong?
Check the directory on both experts, it should be the same - experts share single directory it could be even c:\temp\. Check if expert advisers are allowed, then look at the journal and check the messages.

it's not broker dependant, is it? I have IBFX, and have tried going from mini to standard, and standard to mini, and standard to standard, I am stumped.
There could be problems if you try to copy micro accounts to normal or vice versa. Because in micro accounts they use currency name like "USDJPY." so signal processor can not find the symbol. In other cases it is not broker dependent.

My copier will do that.. It will add, modify or delete any existing order.. Will broadcast to any EA over the Net using raw sockets and some DLL's.. My issue is, I dont know what to do with the App.. We are using it for our own use right now.. but I think any signal generator/Trader could use it.. I just dont know if I want to give it away. BTW, it also has authentication built into it to control any abuses.

ok, i can get it to work with standard to standard, but not mini to standard, so I will have to change the mini to a standard, because this is what I have been waiting for, since I cannot get multiterminal metatrader 4. Thank you Terranin very much!

Just modify the Client EA to concat the Mini symbol to the end of the pair name.. adjust the lot sizes etc. Its easy if you have the EA source.

I created some tool that allows to copy trades from one MetaTrader account to another or even from multiple accounts to one account. ...

Hi Terranin,

Thanks very much for your valuable contribution. I noticed you've created a DLL (SignalProcessor.dll) to facilitate communication between the source and destination terminals. Is it possible to get a description of the mq4 function interface provided by this dll? My email is [email protected]

Thanks in advance,

SM

Im not the author. but My guess is that he uses the DLL to get better file handling routines. He is watching files in a common directory, to see if changes were made to the master EA. My guess is that this gives him better read write control, maybe a Mutex to avoid collisions..

Hi Gamm,

You can actually get full file handling functions by using the standard windows Kernel32.dll. I suspect Terranin's using another means to communicate between different MT4 terminals.

No, I used them exactly for writing/reading files. Like:

function SaveFile(ticket: integer; operation, symbol: PChar; entry, StopLoss, TakeProfit, Lot: double; OpenTime: integer; SrcDir: PChar): integer; stdcall;

and some others that work with files' queue.

Hi Terranin,

I know what you're doing now. I was hoping you were using another means of communicating between the MT4 terminals. Although the file system is obviously one way of doing this.

Off the topic a bit, but what would be great would be an MB-Trading like API for MT4, that would allow complete control from a Visual C or Visual Basic application so you could effectively write your own-front end.

It may be premature, but will you be upgrading this software for MT5 when it comes out?

Thx.

Nope, you couldnt do this with just 2 DLLs, as you need a listening socket or something that is constant.. DLL's in MT4 are for Polling only, and never maintain any connection.

I built a trade copier that does it over the internet. We use it for trading our strategies etc. For this, we use an intermediate server that acts like a hub.


From this hub, we are connecting to MB trading for some of our trades..
But you MUST keep in mind that MB is Totally different in the way it handles trades and positions than does MT4.

MB trading has no concept of a ticket number.. MB cant Hedge etc.. MB doesnt have multiple P&L's per trade.. the list goes on and on..

So, to do this translation, it becomes very very custom..

I do not know how MB-Trading API looks like. For me it is enough MQL4.

I am particularly interested in an MT4 to MBT bridge. ie, the logic runs on plain and simple MQL4 (MT4) language, but the orders are sent to MBT for actual trade.

Anyone has extensive or at least working knowledge on MBT's API? I sure could use your help.

We do it, but keep in mind that MBT and MT4 are 2 diff animals..

MBT has no concepts of Ticket numbers etc.. They only have positions that you add to or take from.. Not mulitple orders.
