I've implemented inbound and outbound Winsock socket comms between MT4 and my Java trading client via a few EAs, entirely within localhost.
I'm considering running the MT4 platform terminal.exe as a spawned sub-process to my client, so that I can easily stop and restart it, if it is unresponsive, due to data feed loss, software failure or any other reliability problem.
I can't see any reason this wouldn't be a good idea, can you? I could run it as a separate process also, but would be easier to control as a subprocess. My application is Java, and I have the ability to call any native code as necessary, but this particular subprocess thing is simple.
*** DATA CENTER connection stability ***
Actually, also, I'd specifically like to point it to a given Data Center IP, and would love to have a dynamic command line option which achieves this when I spawn and start it up. Can I get IP's from my broker and implement this somehow?
Thanks for any pointers or help!
