Custom MT4 EA for Publishing Account Balance and Equity

Description:

I am seeking a skilled MQL4 programmer to create a custom Expert Advisor (EA) for MT4 that can automatically publish the account's balance and equity to a secure webpage (I have my own web hosting), allowing for real-time monitoring. The primary goal is to enable a non-technical user to view these account metrics easily without needing to access or navigate the MT4 platform.

Requirements:

1. Functionality: The EA must fetch the current account balance and equity at specified intervals (e.g., every 5 minutes) and send this data securely to a web server.
2. Security: Implement secure data transmission methods (e.g., HTTPS) to ensure privacy and data integrity.
3. Web Interface: While the development of the web page itself is not required, guidance on setting up a simple, secure webpage to display the data received from the EA is appreciated. If you can include a basic PHP script or similar for the server side, that would be beneficial.
4. Configurability: Include options within the EA settings to adjust the update interval, specify the server URL, and any necessary authentication tokens or keys for the server.
5. Ease of Use: Ensure the EA is user-friendly, with clear instructions on how to install and configure it for both the MT4 platform and the server-side setup.
6. Documentation: Provide detailed documentation on how to deploy the EA, configure the settings, and any required steps to set up the server-side component.

Additional Notes:

• The solution should prioritize efficiency and minimal resource usage within MT4.
• The developer should ensure the solution complies with all relevant regulations and the terms of service of the brokerage.
• Please provide examples of previous similar projects you have completed or outline your approach to this project.
