Hello,


I could not install MetaTrader5 by:

  pip install MetaTrader5


I got the following error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement MetaTrader5 (from versions: none)

ERROR: No matching distribution found for MetaTrader5


Knowing that I am on MAC laptop and I have Python 3.7.6


Thanks in advance to provide me the solution

Only Windows :(

 

I just wanted to update this thread with some feature requests...

  • market_book_get - self explanatory 
  • pass the symbol and timeframe as args when evoking a python script by dropping it on a chart. For example, you drop "echo_args.py" on the EURUSD M15 chart and the terminal would evoke the script as:
python echo_args.py EURUSD 15

So that way you can pick up the symbol and timeframe in the sys.argv

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    if len(sys.argv) >= 2:
        print(f'script dropped on the {sys.argv[1]} chart with timeframe set to {sys.argv[2]}')

  • modify the API to return dict objects by default instead of namedtuples because the namedtuples cannot be pickled and must therefore undergo a computationally expensive conversion to transform data back to native dict in order to use multiprocessing.

Dear Sergey:Why is there no integrated feature of Pyhon_scrite in the current V2361 version? What a great feature this is?

I am not a specialist on Python sorry ... but as I see - the discussion is going on in the other part of the forum,
example - post and next posts after that.

Also - look at examples here https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/integration/python_metatrader5

 

Can the python integration be used some how to automate testing? For example to test an EA against many currencies, timeframes and settings?

I am currently using the command line start but I was hoping the python integration could do that

Hello dear friends ,

I am a beginner user in meta trader , I am so interested in using python API for my trading tasks,

but when I was trying to load all the symbols by 

symbols=mt5.symbols_get()

it return None as symbols but when I wrote in other script

rates = mt5.copy_rates_from("غسالم", mt5.TIMEFRAME_D1, utc_from)

it gives corresponding data to غسالم  and works well . 

because I want to trade on all symbols and filter them  it is mandatory to access their list but unfortunately the symbols_get is not working . please help me to find solution 

my broker  : Mofid

and symbols are written in Persian.

I had same problem too . The solution is install  python 3.7.2  and add to path environment then  run the python in cmd or bash to make sure your default version is 3.7.2  then use python3 -m pip install MetaTrader5
