New comment
 

Hello,

is there anywhere a Tutorial, Script, Example availble with discription how i can make a own FTP connection to a webserver, i dont want to use the FTP Function from Metatarder but makeing a own Script for that?

 
I have codeing into my EA that he send at every new tick a file to my webserver and i get often the error message "SendFTP function failed" and i dont know if it is to much work for the Metatrader to send every ticl the file from new to my webserver or have anybody a better idea for me how i can make that?

Every tick ?  are you kidding ?  what is the file handling overhead ?   you want to open a file,  write to the file, close the file, open it remotely,  transmit the data, close the file remotely . . .  for every tick when a tick can be a small fraction of a second ?

yes somethink like that.

Please if you know a better solution for what i am doing let me know it.

I am trying at moment to send at every new tick my open trades to my website because i want to have always updated data.

for example when i change a stoploss or takeprofit or when i do anythink, then this new data must be send to my webserver, that is what i want, but it looks like the Metatarder have a problem with that.

Why a web server ?  are you displaying live data on a webpage ?  do you have a license/permission to do that from your data provider ?  FTP is not the right method to do this . . .

I don't know what is the best solution,  what have you looked at ?  I know it isn't FTP . . .
