Using the functionality of pushing ticks from one platform (e.g. MT4) to another (MT5), we can use the already built-in MT5 custom symbol feature as explained here:
But we don't want to have to shuffle and fuck around with files, so we make a tool to push the ticks over TCP or pipe, into an MT5 EA to display external symbol data.
How can we do this?
🚫 Using 2 EA's as Server (MT4) and Client (MT5).-- This prevents using ATAPI!
🚫 Using MTAPI on both sides (MT4 and MT5) to internally push ticks, using a C# "bridge" app.☑️ Using MTAPI on MT4 and a Python tool to push into MT5 via custom client EA (over IP port).
We chose (3), because of much less coding and already available tools.
