Hello MQL5 Community, I am currently exploring how to start the MT5 Terminal with a custom configuration file...

Thanks Anthony, just as I thought can't be done.
Not entirely sure why it can't be done due to security reason. It kind of limits the functionality of running config files.

Not with WebRequest, but there's nothing to stop you sending the data using something like WinInet instead. It's just a tiny bit more complex, and means that your EA wouldn't be accepted into the MQL Market - which clearly isn't applicable here anyway.

Hi Folks ,
Can't see how to get round this problem. I've configured my metatrader terminal to startup with a config script. I dynamically add EAs and scripts before I start it so it can startup and allow trading with EA.
I have an EA that sends WebRequests to a local server, but looking at the config help it doesn't look like you can add Allow URLs in config but only manually once the EA has started.
Is there a way around this?
