metatrader4's Issues

PUSH_REQUESTS NOT WORKING - ZMQ request timeout

when i try to make any type of order, it crashes metatrader terminal, on the other side the server just sends ZMQ request timeout

Example usage

Hi,

Please provide examples of using subscription methods.

Keep getting this

const mt4 = new MetaTrader4({
^

TypeError: MetaTrader4 is not a constructor

im using .js file and this kind of thing keep showing when i want to start node index.js

How do I get the apiKey, reqUrl and pullUrl ?

I'm trying to make a nodeJS server communicate with MT4 and make transactions from the server. I'm using metatrader4 with teletrade.eu as a broker. Now where do I get the API key and other details?

I tried to use https://www.metatrader4.com/en/brokers/api but not only I can only get an Metatrader 5 API key but I also need to have a company and request access to API as if I was a broker.

Is there any other way to make transactions from the server on my personal account?

const mt4 = new MetaTrader4({
apiKey: "CHANGEME",
reqUrl: "tcp://127.0.0.1:5555",
pullUrl: "tcp://127.0.0.1:5556"
});

METATRADER4 cannot connect with tcp://127.0.0.1:5555

METATRADER4 cannot connect with tcp://127.0.0.1:5555
METATRADER4 cannot connect with tcp://127.0.0.1:5556

i have meta trader running ive imported the mql file to expert advisor, the api key on both sides and all libs, but when connecting this always happen, do i need to open a tcp port?

[feature] meta Trader 5 compatibility

The @dingmaotu library seems to work with MetaTrader 5.
Would it be complex to create a version of the MetaTrader4Bridge.mq4 file in mql5 ?
