Any good examples of setting up a TCP Socket in MT4 to listen for calls?

Haha Thanks once again JC

 
Hi, I'm not sure if this forum thread is still active, but i've tried your socket library.. its weird. The message says it can connect to a regular websocket server without problem, but the server never detected incoming connection.. the websocket server is behind cloudflare, would this pose a problem?

It is old code. Did you read the blog's own discussion section below it? There may be hints in those comments.

 
Please be aware that TCP socket is NOT websocket.

Websockets for MetaTrader 5

 

Oh dear, Thank you @Soewono Effendi for this..

I am rather new to socket communication.. Was not aware that TCP socket and Websocket are different. (Spent a lot of hours just to realise that Socket.io and websocket are also different)

Also I have tried your link, which sounds just like what I needed, however this is using MQL5.

Is there any way to use that code for MQL4?

Thank you in advance.

 
MT4 does not provide needed network functions in pure MQL API.

Nevertheless there exist some code examples and also products in MQL market that use DLL to provide websocket functionality.
