Multiple data feeds

New comment
 

HI,

I want to use mt4 data feeds from different brokers,

for example fxcm data feed and forex4u data feed, just to develop arbitrate ea,

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

U would need one Terminal open per broker, each running an EA. The experts will have to communicate the data-feeds to each other. Since this is arbitrage - latency issues are critical, hence passing the data-feed via shared files will be too slow (although much simpler). The better solution would be shared memory via DLL's. Note that each EA, upon receiving a tick, must also launch the start() of the other EA.


p.s. The MT4 platform is way to slow for most types of arbitrage. Latency and broker spreads cancel out all inefficiencies of this sort (this is IMHO).
