I found this announcement from MetaQuotes yesterday (I am not sure how it may be related to this error ... but just in case) -

MetaTrader 5 Python User Group - how to use Python in Metatrader
Renat Fatkhullin , 2020/02/12 09:20
Since version 5.0.15, the Python library works in a new format that is not compatible with the old format and requires the latest beta terminal.
We’ll publish updated documentation and examples soon.

Пример:
import MetaTrader5 as mt5 import time mt5.initialize() mt5.wait() dev = 0.00010; symbol = "EURUSD" buy_price = 0 mt5.symbol_select(symbol) time.sleep(1) p = mt5.symbol_info_tick(symbol) prev_price = p.ask while True: p = mt5.symbol_info_tick(symbol) print(p.bid,'/',p.ask) if p.ask > prev_price and buy_price == 0: print("Buy ", p.ask) r = mt5.Buy(symbol, 0.01) if r.retcode == mt5.TRADE_RETCODE_DONE: buy_price = p.ask; elif buy_price > 0 and p.ask + dev < buy_price: print("Buy(close) ", p.bid) mt5.Close(symbol) buy_price = 0 prev_price = p.ask time.sleep(1) mt5.shutdown()
Tried with version 5.0.14 up to 5.0.16. All shown MT5Initialize is not defined.
Tried with version 5.0.11 it show IPC recv failed.
Hi,I've same issue of "IPC recv failed".
Already tried the new method initialize(), it doesn't work.
Would you mind to share with me the solution for this issue?
Thanks

- beta MT5 is downloaded via Help -> Check beta version
- python library:
it worked for me
Greetings,
Hope this is is correct section to post. I am trying to get the Python integration to work with Metatrader 5, however I am getting this error when execute the pythonscript-
Have made exactly like the tutorial fond here - https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/integration/python_metatrader5

Anyone who can help me out? I am jumping up and down of excitement when I found the Python pip package...
Hi,
Here are the new docs: https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/integration/python_metatrader5
Best regards

NameError: name 'MT5Initialize' is not defined
Python knows the purposes of certain names (ex. built-in functions ). Other names are defined within the program (ex. variables). If Python encounters a name that it doesn't recognize, you'll probably get NameError: global name 'xx' is not defined error. In most cases, this error is triggered when Python sees a variable name (Global or Local) and doesn't know what it's for. These errors can happen if you forget to initialize a variable , if you misspell a variable, or if you misspell a reserved word such as "True". Before you use the global variable in your function for reading, it must be first initialized somewhere: either outside of the function or inside it.
