I'm slowly working towards a simple external buy/sell triggered interface for partial automation for my IRA's at my bank. I've considered adding MT, but learning MQL isn't a 5 minute process, and I'm way on overload with life (my land sale got screwed up, among other things I'm highly annoyed with) and health issues right now. If I ever got to it, it would be months away. Since MT manipulates the spread (for commissions... and sometimes abuse depending on the broker), SC and MT charts wouldn't match very well. That creates some issues and extra safeties would be needed on the MT side. Those safties could be a considerable amount of code, similar to my Multi-Function Trailing Stop. Last I looked at MT4, its trailing stop was actually a triggered trailing stop and was awful (I don't understand why they did this). I was looking at ATC Brokers last year. They charge a flat fee per trade and don't manipulate the spreads. A bridge (if ever found or programmed) would probably be more easily viable with them (or brokers like them). If I ever program a MT bridge, I'll post it here in my usual way. |
