There is also a way to access R from mql5 using the mt-R library.

What can mt-R library do that Kinzel/mt5R can’t?

If you need complex actions with the trading environment, then it is better to do it inside mql5. It is unlikely that everything will be available from R.

I don’t really understand what you mean, please give me an example of such “complex actions”

Just look at the documentation for the mql5 trading api, there are at least a hundred functions there.


How to organize an event model outside of mql5?


When working with a metatrader via Python/R, the ability to test with a regular tester is lost.

 
Great article. Thank you!

Beautiful explanation there Aleksey, there are indeed hundreds of functions in the MQL5 api, however the MT5 R libraries only have a tens of functions. Therefore, a lot of the MQL5 api is not mapped on to by any of the MT5R  api.

Thank you Yevgeniy.
 
Not very clear about the abrupt switch from Python (past articles) to P, from which Python is invoked again. Maybe some glitch in the matrix?
