Order management from other systems

[Vinit Makol]

I understand that there are no APIs to manage orders with MT4.   Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about it?  I have created an Oracle data store that will analyze the tick data along with historical data and will generate signals for me.  one idea I have is to manage via text files, but it doesn't seem very robust?  Any ideas will be appreciated.

You can use named pipes.: a C++ or C# application write the pipe reading Oracle DB and an MT4 EA read the pipe and send the order.

For MT4 side you have  examples in  Scripts/Examples/Pipes

For other side you can google and look for a C++ or C# example
