The Client Terminal API

The Client Terminal API allows traders to send a trade to Metatrader 4 from any other platform or system. This gives a company the benefit of having multiple platforms with which to trade. It allows customers to send trades via a network connection to a Metatrader 4 client terminal to be executed in the Metatrader 4 server. From the client terminal's point of view, it appears as if the trade was placed by an Expert Advisor! This C++ API developed by Boston Technologies allows customers to send trades in ASCII format via a network connection to the Metatrader Server via a client terminal. To use this API a company must:

  • Purchase the socket library and the client terminal script from Boston Technologies.
  • Write its own software to open a socket connection with the client terminal on the port 3456.
  • Send trades to the client terminal as strings on the socket connection.
  • Accept answers in the same format from the same socket.
We can also develop your end of the system to connect to the Client Terminal API if requested. To proceed with this option, please contact us for a quote at 203-966-5118 or by completing the form below.
