OTMql4AMQP - AMQP bindings for MQL4 Python

https://github.com/OpenTrading/OTMql4AMQP/

This project allows the OpenTrading Metatrader-Python bridge (https://github.com/OpenTrading/OTMql4Py/) to work with RabbitMQ, or probably any version of AMQP, a high performance enterprise messaging prtotcol for asynchronous communications between applications. It builds on OTMql4Py, and requires it as a pre-requisite.

In your Python, you must have installed Pika: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pika/ Pika offers the advantage of being pure Python: no DLLs to compile or install. Pika communicates with AMQP servers, the most common open-source one being RabbitMQ.

You will also need an AMQP server installed, configured and running to use this project, which can be a challenge under Windows; see http://www.rabbitmq.org. The code assumes the default server setup of username: guest, password: guest, virtual host: /. For a brokerless messaging protocol that does not require installing a server, see our ZeroMQ bridge, https://github.com/OpenTrading/OTMql4Zmq/

This is a work in progress - a developers' pre-release version.

It works on builds > 6xx; only Python 2.7.x is supported.

There is now an installer in the Releases section on github.com: see https://github.com/OpenTrading/OTMql4Py/wiki/Installation If you are on a 64bit machine, we use 32bit installs even on 64bit machines, because Metatrader in a 32bit application; see https://github.com/OpenTrading/OTMql4Py/wiki/Python32Or64Bit

Project

Please file any bugs in the issue tracker (https://github.com/OpenTrading/OTMql4AMQP/issues) .

Use the Wiki to start topics for discussion: https://github.com/OpenTrading/OTMql4AMQP/wiki/Home It's better to use the wiki for knowledge capture, and then we can pull the important pages back into the documentation in the share/doc directory. You will need to be signed into github.com to edit in the wiki.

Please report any system it works or doesn't work on in the wiki: include the Metatrader build number, the origin of the metatrader exe, the Windows version, and the AMQP server version and version of the Pika. This code is known to run under Linux Wine (>=1.7.x), so this project bridges Metatrader to RabbitMQ under Linux.

You may want to also look at: https://github.com/OpenTrading/OpenTrader which provides a command-line interpreter to speak to an OTMql4AMQP enabled Metatrader.
