@yuddy7 #: Hello, how can I connect and open trade positions with the Deriv broker API using python ? I have read their documentation and it's not beginner friendly. 

Ask them! It has nothing to do with this website.

hello,

as far as I know  python order_send() method is using MT5 equivalent of OrderSend()

I am building an async adapter for the mt5 library and I would like my python order_send to use the  MT5 - OrderSendAsync()  instead of OrderSend ()

Is this possible with the current functionality available ?

Hi, you found an answer to this or a solution? Thanks

I have the same issue here, even though the function "history_deals_get" accepts the argument "ticket=", it keeps return error (-2, 'Terminal: Invalid params'). I guess this function is buggy with argument "ticket", so the developer team denies it.

Hope developer team can see the discussion. Still no workaround after 1 year.

Thx

Dear developers,

There is a bug with function history_deals_get(ticket=order_ticket). Providing order ticket would not work, but providing deal ticket would work. This behaviour is different from the documentation, and in practice getting historical deals by providing order ticket would be more practical.

Can you please fix it?

Thank you,

Hello everyone. I have two installations of python the 3.12 and 3.13. I think both are not accepted by MT5.

I think I will have to download 3.11?

I tried with jupyter the 3.12 version; I installed metatrader5 with pip, but the problems I had with numpy, because mt5 wants a version of numpy < 2; in the end I installed but inside a venv and, I must say, I'm not sure I solved 100%.

Now I'm seeing videos for using python directly on the mt5 IDE.

THADA!!! A mess.

In the IDE compiler I added the path for python 3.12 but first I had to integrate pip install metatrader5 into the python 3.12 path, but it doesn't want to install a version of numpy < 2 at all.

So I come to the question. 

Which python should I install? If 3.12 is okay where do I find numpy < 2 or other libraries needed for mt5?

I was also thinking of downloading a numpy-1.24.3+cp312-cp312-win_amd64.whl (which I don't think exists) to solve; before I do that could someone kindly tell me how he solved it?

Thank you very much

Hello

Can some help me how to get SYMBOL_TRADE_CALC_MODE, SYMBOL_SECTOR, SYMBOL_INDUSTRY values in python?

Documentation says all such data is available in symbol_info, but it is not true.

Hi Sergey

I have python installed in Conda environment. How can I use / install it for MT5.

I do not know sorry.
There are many traders/coders who are very comfortable with python (and they are using it incl the articles for example).
I hope - someone will reply on that.
