Interfacing with MT4

[[Deleted]]

I would like to interface something with MT4. I have not traded long, but very experiences developer. So far in my research, I have found that the MQL language provides file operations, DotNetRemoting allows some access using .NET and that MT4 provides DLL support for third party software.

What I would like to know is what is the best approach people are using. My "something" is another custom application for data analysis and decision support, so I would want to talk both ways for automated trading.

Is there a "best" approach here? I am looking for something like....hey dummy, people do it this way.

Thanks!

Make your own DLL with your proprietary programs or/and with bridge to matlab, mathcad, databases etc.

very experiences developer should know all that.
