copy_ticks_range Not working!

[yomal_Mql6]

I've creted a flask api to call copy_ticks_range. but when I called it It prints None, after that I called last_error() function and It's Says: (-10004, "No IPC connection") what is the meaning of this? Can anyone help me? (I also tried given example and gives same output)

Thank you!

And My Code is:

def copyTicksRange():
    try:
        # set time zone to UTC
        timezone = pytz.timezone("Etc/UTC")
        # create 'datetime' objects in UTC time zone to avoid the implementation of a local time zone offset
        utc_from = datetime(2020, 1, 10, tzinfo=timezone)
        utc_to = datetime(2022, 1, 11, tzinfo=timezone)
        # request EURUSD ticks within 11.01.2020 - 11.01.2020
        ticks = mt.copy_ticks_range("EURUSD", utc_from, utc_to, mt.COPY_TICKS_ALL)
        
        print(ticks)

        if ticks is not None:
            
            return {
                "status": 200
            }
        else:
            return {
                "Error": mt.last_error()
            }
        
    except Exception as e:
        print("Somethings went Wrong..!", e)

Refer to the help documentation - take an example from the help documentation

After that, paste here (using the button ) your code and show the result of the code.

If you have a problem you must follow these steps:

• provide your code (paste the code using the button )
• provide the result (data from the log file)
• It is highly recommended to use the full code from the help!

Look at the help and your code: Your code does not match the help. Run full code from help. Don't think of anything. Test the full code from the help.

I wrote exact same function but gives the error as last error:  (-10002, 'IPC recv failed')

here's my code:

from datetime import datetime
import MetaTrader5 as mt5
import pytz

# display data on the MetaTrader 5 package
print("MetaTrader5 package author: ", mt5.__author__)
print("MetaTrader5 package version: ", mt5.__version__)

if not mt5.initialize(login=54604178, password="r5hfhqfq", server="MetaQuotes-Demo"):

    print("initialize() failed, error code =", mt5.last_error())
    quit()
else:
    print("Initialized")

    # set time zone to UTC
    timezone = pytz.timezone("Etc/UTC")
    # create 'datetime' objects in UTC time zone to avoid the implementation of a local time zone offset
    utc_from = datetime(2020, 1, 10, tzinfo=timezone)
    utc_to = datetime(2022, 3, 18, tzinfo=timezone)
    # request AUDUSD ticks within 11.01.2020 - 11.01.2020
    ticks = mt5.copy_ticks_range("AUDUSD", utc_from, utc_to, mt5.COPY_TICKS_ALL)
    print(ticks)

print("last error: " , mt5.last_error())

here's the output: 

MetaTrader5 package author:  MetaQuotes Ltd.
MetaTrader5 package version:  5.0.37
Initialized
None
last error:  (-10002, 'IPC recv failed')

Thank you in Advance !

Here is my result (I took the FULL example from the Documentation, I did not invent ANYTHING and did not change ANYTHING in the code):

Thank you! I run the exact given example and its working but when I change the utc_to date to (2021, 5, 11) its not working! Do you have any idea why is that? is this function work for time duration only for one year ?

Thank you in advance!

Absolutely everything works and there are no errors. You need to look for the error in yourself. And in general: you must first learn the MQL5 language and only after that try to do something in python!

Read the title of the error. Start fixing one mistake at a time.

Run the python script not from MetaEditor, but from MetaTrader 5.

There may an issue in how you run the code -- not an issue in the code itself. From your terminal, try running ``$python3 test-script.py`` instead of ``$python test-script.py``.
