I wanted to send in real time my Trades into the Mysql Database, can anybody say me how i can slove this?

 
This is not an mql4 question. Try getting support from host.

Sorry but you must be misunderstanding . . .  what is the point of any database that can only be accessed by the database ?  talk to your Host again . . .
 
I did think some people here can give me a tip how i can send with another technik or a trick the data to my MySQL Database, because the webhoster does not allow it, to access from outside.

Ah I see from outside of the Hosts network/Webserver . . . is your Hosting using cPanel ?

  • With a php script located on the server. Then you have to use a DLL to call your script.
  • Another possibility is to use FTP, to send data on your server and then process it locally with a php script or others available language.

That idea is good, the php script must be call every second to send the data to Mysql database, i dont know what for DLL programm is allowed to use for webhosting,do you know maybe a tutorial where such thinks is explained?

The DLL (Windows API) is needed to call your script with http from your MT4 client. There is no native function for that in mql4. Search the site for examples (keyword http).

The Host can configure cPanel to provide remote MySQL functionality   http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/11_30/CpanelDocs/RemoteMySQL
