hi,

i'm want to start trading real money - but with metatrader 4, as it's mql language is more advanced...
unfortunately i dont know any of your clients who is already using the metatrader 4... and at least one of them also doesnt want to switch to mt4...
so my experts and indicators are of no use...
is there a way to send data from the mt4 to mt3 and vice versa?
that would help a lot (not just me)...

greetings,

shrak

easiest way i think would be to add a socket connection, which only listens for local connections...
through that socket the user can send his requests.... buy, sell, tp, and so on... =)))

hmm ok....
what if i let mt3 run and be able to trade
and in addition to this i run mt4 on a demo account which gives the signals...
the only thing necessary now is, to be able to send a message from mt4 to mt3, to tell it when to buy or sell...
the windows messages could be used?
hmm any idea? that would improve the mt3 in a great way...

what the problem? write your own dll using MT API for MT3 and use this dll in your mt4 expert advisors
