Expert advisors written in MQL4 + ECN broker. How?

Hello

Say i want to start trading ECN, dukascopy, EFX trading group etc. I have my own expert advisor written in MQL4 that is profitable.

Can i trade automaticly with it on ECN brokers?

As long as the the ECN has an API, which dukascopy does, it's possible. You would need to have a programmer write a DLL that sits between Metatrader and the duskascopy API that imports the API into metatrader. Then your EA would have to be modified to send the orders to the DLL instead of using Metatrader's order process.

With Dukascopy, another option is they have their own MQL4 like language which EAs can be written in, called JForex. So you're EA can be translated into JForex and setup to run on their platform.

Send me a PM if you want me to look at doing either of these options for you.

With Dukascopy it is very easy. I set up an EA to run in MT4 with only a couple modifications and clicking to allow DLLs for the EA when you attach it to a chart. I can give you the example of what I did as well as the info I obtained from them if you want to use Dukascopy.
Unfortunatly, I am now trying to use Hotspotfx's API and having a heck of a time trying to learn their API! But yeah, Dukascopy is much easier to me, especially because you can use MT4 pretty easy with it. I wish I could do that with Hotspot.

Okay, thank you for the answers. I will be trading on ECN later, so it's good to know it can be done (but for now i don't have the money requirment to start with dukascopy).
