Project description

Python Metatrader DataFrame API 2.0

Instalation for docker Metatrader 5 Server API

first make sure you have docker installed on your pc
run this command on your terminal or powershell

docker volume create ejtraderMT
docker run -d --restart=always -p 5900:5900 -p 15555:15555 -p 15556:15556 -p 15557:15557 -p 15558:15558 --name ejtraderapi_server -v ejtraderMT:/data sostrader/ejtraderapi_server:stable

or if you dont want to use docker you can download the expert and install on your Metatrader 5 simple download the folder MQL5 from the link below and install it on the Metatrader https://github.com/traderpedroso/ejtraderMTServer

Installation for Python API

# for last stable use pip
pip install ejtraderMT

or

#for developers attention may contain countless bugs
git clone https://github.com/traderpedroso/ejtraderMT
cd ejtraderMT
python setup.py install

import

from ejtraderMT import Metatrader

Connect Metatrader 5

make sure thesisAPI expert are load on the chart

'''
to change the host IP example Metatrader("192.168.1.100") ou
you can use doman example  "metatraderserverdomain.com"

for you local Time on the dataFrame Metatrader(localtime=True)
attention broker time is the default for Dataframe index "date"

for real volume for active like WIN futures ou centralized market use Metatrader(real_volume=True)
attention tick volume is the default


to use more than one option just use , example Metatrader(host='hostIP',localtime=True)
'''
api = Metatrader()

Account information

accountInfo = api.accountInfo()
print(accountInfo)
print(accountInfo['broker'])
print(accountInfo['balance'])

Trading and Orders Manipulation

You can create market or pending order with the commands.

Market Orders

# symbol, volume, stoploss, takeprofit, deviation
api.buy("EURUSD", 0.01, 1.18, 1.19, 5)
api.sell("EURUSD", 0.01, 1.18, 1.19, 5)

Limit Orders

# symbol, volume, stoploss, takeprofit, price, deviation
api.buyLimit("EURUSD", 0.01, 1.17, 1.19, 1.18, 5)
api.sellLimit("EURUSD", 0.01, 1.20, 1.17, 1.19, 5)

Stop Orders

#symbol, volume, stoploss, takeprofit, price, deviation
api.buyStop("EURUSD", 0.01, 1.18, 1.20, 1.19, 5)
api.sellStop("EURUSD", 0.01, 1.19, 1.17, 1.18, 5)

Positions & Manipulation

positions = api.positions()


if 'positions' in positions:
    for position in positions['positions']:
        api.CloseById(position['id'])

Orders & Manipulation

orders = api.order()

if 'orders' in orders:
    for order in orders['orders']:
        api.CancelById(order['id'])

Modify possition

api.positionModify( id, stoploss, takeprofit)

Modify order

api.orderModify( id, stoploss, takeprofit, price)

close by symbol

api.CloseBySymbol("EURUSD")

close particial

# id , volume
api.ClosePartial( id, volume)

If you want to cancel all Orders

api.cancel_all()

if you want to close all positions

api.close_all()
