Step 2: Create a new file in MetaEditor

Copy the example from the help ( order_send  ) and completely replace the contents of the new file.

My opinion is that you misconfigured your Python. I have pure Python and everything works. You must understand that integration always requires knowledge. If you have no knowledge and are unable to complete the configuration, work in pure MQL5 and do not touch Python.

MetaTrader 5 Python Integration for Beginners

Vladimir Karputov , 2021.07.18 06:13

The minimum that is required:

1. Python, MetaTrader Python package, matplotlib and pandas packages. A description of the installation is available and a test script is available in the documentation in the MetaTrader module for integration with Python section.

Step by step instructions :

1.1. Download the latest Python 3.8 from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows

Scrolling down the page, we find release 3.8.0:

Rice. 1. Select release 3.8.0

and download the usual Windows installation file:

Rice. 2. Download the file 'python-3.8.0-amd64.exe'

After installing Python, start the MetaEditor - the path to Python should be written in the settings on its own:

Rice. 3. Path to Python in MetaEditor settings  

1.2. When installing Python, check the "Add Python 3.8 to PATH%" checkbox so that you can run Python scripts from the command line.

1.3. Install MetaTrader5 module: in Windows 10 command line 

pip install MetaTrader5

1.4. Add matplotlib and pandas packages 

pip install matplotlib
pip install pandas

2. You also need a Jupyter Notebook (a development environment for Python that allows you to see the results of executing Python code). This assumes Python is already installed - install the package from the command line 

pip install notebook
Jupyter Notebook is launched via the command line: 
jupyter notebook
