Missing Features/Good Practice

This library has been in existence for several years and was designed to be simple and straightforward. While there are plans to enhance it with features such as logging and other components to improve its overall quality, there are considerations specific to the nature of the Metatrader5 library.

Delicate Metatrader5 Environment

Metatrader5 operates within a highly restrictive environment, and certain practices that may be considered best practices in other contexts might cause trouble for newcomers in software development, which is the main focus of this library. For the sake of simplicity and ease of use, the library currently retains some practices that may not align with conventional best practices.

Alternative Libraries

For users seeking a more advanced library with a similar concept, consider exploring the following alternative:

metatrader5EasyT: A more advanced library that aligns with best practices while providing a similar user-friendly approach. It is also available on PyPI.
