multiple brokers

 

Is it possible, in an EA at one broker's account, to monitor the price action at another broker's account.

Example: I have an account at FXDD and AskOBid, and I want to put an EA on the FXDD account, but I want that EA to factor the price action of my AskOBid account before it places an order in my FXDD account... and vice a versa.

 
Of course it's possible. Have one EA on one broker send the values to the other EA on the other broker. Files, named pipes, http, etc.

How do I learn more?

Where can I read about this?

How fast can the 2 broker's EA's talk to each other using files?

Is there any software in public domain that I can download and play with that does this?

I want to have 2 EAs on 2 different broker's platforms. When the price between them is different enough (at the same instant) I want to place buy and sell orders.... buy on the broker with the lower price, and sell on the broker with the higher price, then I want to monitor so when the two orders have a net gain of X pips, I want to close both orders simultaneously.

Surely there is public domain software that can get me started... Hopefully.

I actually found what I was looking for in the following forum. https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/127032

I am playing with this... it pretty fun, now to make it do what I want... lightning speed transfer of data that I can use.

Any pointers would be helpful.... just a wet behind the ears newbie... but having fun anyway... ignorance is bliss... so they say.
