Using and EA under MT5 as a front-end for TWS

[Andy1]

Hello,

 

I wonder if anyone has experience with connecting MT5 to Interactive Broker’s TWS through API and using an EA for trading with all sorts of financial instruments not just FX? Any help would be appriated.

 

Thanks

You can import a DLL into your EA to communicate with TWS

We've done this for MT4. However, an EA can't trade on instruments that are not available in MT4.
Importing symbols from TWS to MT4 is not reliable.
