2 platform communication

[Yerim Rayann Gon Diarra]

Hi, fellow dev

At the moment I use a CSV file in the common folder to help 2 MT4 instance to communicate together. But it's too slow, generally above 3 sec 

I need something faster in the milliseconds order 

Does someone have an idea? 

Thanks

What about a RAM disk and Windows functions to manage the files?

That's a really good idea (I was thinking of an in-memory database but that would require some effort to implement/interface)
