Continuous delivery with Metatrader

dear fellow traders,

i have several metatrader terminals running the same code which is checked into an SVN repository. My goal is to periodically check for SVN changes and upon change update and compile the local code followed by attaching it to the open charts.

Is it possible? Is there a DevOps tool out there which will help to facilitate this task?

dude wrong forum

It is possible, SVN is a command line executable, and the Metaeditor (as a compiler) as well. Though personally I would distribute the binaries (ex4) alone rather than compiling from the SVN source every time it changes (it may contain broken code occasionally).

How would you distribute them? If you overwrite the binary, the chart will use the latest binary available or will it use the one attached which is the one loaded in memory I assume? I am not familiar with the binding in Metatrader, appreciate your support.

Yes, it's possible to do this with the current metaeditor. (I use teamcity).

The command line usage is:

metaeditor.exe /compile:<path to source> [/inc:<path to MQL folder>] [/log]
