Online MT4 to offline MT4 RealtimeData transfer? Use MT4 in realtime but without direct brokerconnection?
- Operate Metatrader without broker but from another source?
- Recover mq5 file missing in compiling process
- Hosting for MT4
I have experience with communication through a file sharing. It is quite functional though not the best fit for "not a good programmer just something mql4".
Sharing a file outside the MT4 sandbox requires use of the file control from the kernel32.dll rather than MQL4.
You will need some kind of error-proof communication protocol - flushing buffer often saves only part of the message.
You must attempt to login to a fake server (just enter some server name into the login form) to set the history folder.
You will need to transfer data for the current chart, which would be the easy part. In addition you will need to transfer some other files (symbols.raw, ticks.raw, symbols.sel, symgroups.raw) - not sure if the list is full.
Now you have a chart and quotes.
Here my experience ends - I have no idea how to keep the disconnected terminal properly alive. You may easily generate ticks, I am afraid that before the tick you need update of something from the list above... But if you already get here, I bet you are able to discover it.
