Getting Started

To get started with the MetaTrader 5 WebSocket Tickers, you will need to set up your MetaTrader 5 environment and ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the data.

Prerequisites

• MetaTrader 5 installed on your machine.
• Basic knowledge of MQL5 and WebSockets.
• A server that can handle WebSocket connections.

   git clone https://github.com/mainpclab/metatrader5-websocket-tickers.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd metatrader5-websocket-tickers

3. Install any dependencies if required. Refer to the documentation of the libraries used in the project.

Usage

To start streaming ticker updates, follow these steps:

1. Open MetaEditor in MetaTrader 5.
2. Create a new Expert Advisor (EA) and copy the provided MQL5 code into it.
3. Compile the EA.
4. Attach the EA to a chart in MetaTrader 5.
5. Connect your WebSocket server to receive updates.

Example Code Snippet

Here’s a simple example of how to set up the WebSocket connection in your EA:

void OnTick()
{
    // Your code to handle ticks
    WebSocketSend("ticker_update", GetTickerData());
