Node.js + MQL4 Development 11 years, 3 months ago@Saver0, Is there any other simple way send data from MT4 to node server?
MT4 as server and Node app is client.I only see Socket or ZeroMQ for now.

Node.js + MQL4 Development 11 years, 4 months agoFor Node.js development, I found http://nodejstools.codeplex.com/ to be really neat.
Here is a tutorial on setting yourself up if you want to do so:

Node.js + MQL4 Development 11 years, 4 months agoJacky, It is from November 2012, a lot of thing changes, you need recent tutorials.
And that book has 2 stars, dont know why you choose it
I think with some searching you will have a lot of great tutorials for free.
I only learn from reference and google, never buy a book. hehe.
Here is a great and free IDE to help you code…[Read more]

Node.js + MQL4 Development 11 years, 4 months agoYou should take a look at MDN:

And like Saver0 advice, google is your best friend

Node.js + MQL4 Development 11 years, 4 months agoHi Jacky,
I honestly haven’t looked at any books for Node.js
To be able to program with Node.js what you need is a good understanding of Javascript. For that I recommend the following site:
http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp
That’s all you should need really. If you are new to programming, then take the time to understand the basics really…[Read more] -

Yup

Saver0 replied to the topic Questions & support in the forum
Node.js + MQL4 Development 11 years, 4 months agoIt’s just easy to install the XAMPP.. hehe
I figured this would be the easiest approach for many. NoSQL type DBs have its advantage and disadvantages as well though. For Forex type data I think SQL type DB is what we need. DB speed haven’t become an issue for me yet however. It’s mostly the CPU limits that I’m hitting since the data just gets…[Read more] -

Node.js + MQL4 Development 11 years, 4 months agoHi Saver0, Why you dont use nginx or sqlite or nosql?
I see them lighter than Apache and MySql. -

@Zelo, Can you explain more ? What is the purpose of ZeroMQ here ? It is as a bridge between MT4 and NodeJs ?
Can it also be as bridge between MT4 and other language (PHP+Mysql , or Python+DB for example) ?
Thanks
Yep! It is possible. But I found that MQL has WebRequest function that can do the job, I will try that and let you know.
I found this : http://zguide.zeromq.org/php:_start , http://zeromq.org/event:zeromq-for-mysql and this : https://github.com/AustenConrad/mql4zmq
Is it right ?
@zelo that looks really cool by the way! I have tried ZeroMQ and it worked pretty well. But i found creating a simple http server in Node.js to be the easiest and it would also be easier for anyone who want to setup your app. Because even if you use ZeroMQ or anything else, you would still need to check some sort of a queue with the way MT4 works.…[Read more]
@Saver0, I like Node.js too. I think about send data lile ohlc and indicator data from MT4 to our app
would be easier than connecting Oanda. I looked into your code and it pretty complicated
Is there any simpler way :-D
@zelo It shouldn’t be too complicated if you take a look at it. I may have over complicated it. Like smallcat said, it’s just that one function call that’s doing all the work. You can send the data to Node.js in any format you want. I just prefer it to be in JSON so it can be easily parsed. I send the data with a command in the first few strings…[Read more]
@Saver0 I know about Oanda Api. It is really good. I am biased on Oanda too.
There is a problem with the chart app in the picture above. I can not draw trend line and get information about a candle
because of CSS positioning, I can not get exact mouse position, LOL
If i want to, i have to rewrite code in SVG.
So I will keep thing simple,…[Read more]
@Zelo Yea, I’m biased against all Brokers to be honest.. haha just use what is available to me.
If I can see 4small 600×400 windows with 4 time frame charts, on a 2×2 grid running synchronized, I would be happy 
As for the trend lines, maybe try to keep the charts simple? It doesn’t have to be 3D looking
@saver0, from the mql file we can see “if(!INet.Request(“POST”,”/”,data,false,false,req,false)) ” and “if(!INet.Request(“POST”,”/”,incoming_msg,false,true,req,false))” , the string variable “data” and “incoming_msg” are to hold the return value sent by NodeJs, and we use jsonParser to get the ‘direction’ of the signal ?
Yes, you are correct there smallcat.
