DirectX Tutorial (Part I): Drawing the first triangle - the article

Without understanding what is there under the hood, DirectX is perplexing: "Why is it so difficult and confusing, can't it be made simpler?" And this is only the first stage. Further, you come to study the HLSL shader language and the peculiarities of video card programming. In order to avoid all these confusions, I suggest considering the internal structure of DirectX, though not going too deep into detail. Then we will write a small script in MQL that displays a triangle on the screen.

You should first install the package before you can use it in your code — Documentation on MQL5: Integration / MetaTrader for Python

Installing the package from the command line:

pip install MetaTrader5

I'm trying to install the package on a Mac and tried the commands

pip install MetaTrader5  

python3 -m pip install "MetaTrader5"

and I get the errors 

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement MetaTrader5 (from versions: none)

ERROR: No matching distribution found for MetaTrader5

Is it because it's a Mac?

Hi, I'm trying to change the stop loss value and I'm receiving the following result:

OrderSendResult(retcode=10013, deal=0, order=0, volume=0.0, price=0.0, bid=0.0, ask=0.0, comment='Invalid request', request_id=0, retcode_external=0, request=TradeRequest(action=6, magic=0, order=0, symbol='', volume=0.0, price=0.0, stoplimit=0.0, sl=5461.5, tp=0.0, deviation=0, type=0, type_filling=0, type_time=0, expiration=0, comment='', position=214787925, position_by=0))

My request is shown above: 

request = {
    'action': mt5.TRADE_ACTION_SLTP,
    'position': ticket_operacao_compra_longa,
    'sl': novo_stop_compra,
}
result = mt5.order_send(request)

Can anyone help me?

Yes. It only works properly on Windows. You can run Windows on your Mac using Parallels. If your Mac uses M1 chip it will work fine.
