I read a bunch of threads but no definitive answer.

Can we trade on MT4 through SC?

MT4/MT5 is used by Forex/CFD brokers. The only forex brokers that SC supports are Interactive Brokers and LMAX. But if you used either of them thereā€™d be no reason to include MT4/5 in the loop.

However, because both SC and MT4/5 have APIs a programmer could probably:
1. Have SC running in sim mode.
2. When trades are entered on sim they could be written to a file in a few milliseconds.
3. The MT4 program could read that file every few milliseconds to see if any new trades had been taken in SC and actually submit those trades in MT4.

Thus, with the help of a programmer you could do this.

A list of seeming active SC-related programmers is here:

There is a bridge between the two platforms. It is a challenge to work with. Google it.

Hi All

To Sierra Chart Engineering:
An MT5 connector would allow SC to be used to analyze markets that SC or compatible providers do not have data for.
For example MOEX. And there would be enough willing.
