If you can create multiple sessions mt5.initialize.

Within one session, the requests are synchronous.

Multiple sessions to one terminal (broker, account)?

Or each session will need a separate terminal?

It is interesting.

Multiple sessions to one terminal is supported.

Renat Fatkhullin:

Multiple sessions to a single terminal are supported.

Great. I will try

Note that Jupyter Notebook *.ipynb files are supported directly from the editor (not the terminal).

It is possible to run them fully.

Good afternoon.

Looking for source code of MetaTrader5 package for Python. Came across this section:https://www.mql5.com/en/code/mt5/libraries
But there are millions of links. Chances to find required source code by human search are close to zero.

Please tell me if this library https://pypi.org/project/MetaTrader5/
is it possible to find source code (if yes, I won't mind to get link to it)?

[MetaQuotes]

The library is only distributed as a compiled package.

Is it possible to run them remotely? I.e. specify the ip of the server where jupyter is running, or only locally?

Next Friday we will release the MT5 release and update the documentation at the same time.

The descriptions of the old interfaces in the forum will also be edited.

By default, the terminal that was last started under the user account is launched. The directory C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal is searched and the most recent instance is selected.

The answer codes are wrapped in tuple and are similar to the answer codes in MQL5.

We will describe it later in the documentation.

Can you tell me if it's due today?
