Perhaps Metatrader has a setting that prevents quotes from being sent to python?

Run the standard example: [data folder]\MQL5\Scripts\Python\copy_rates_from.py

Try this.

import MetaTrader5 as mt5
from datetime import datetime

try:
    if not mt5.initialize():
        raise Exception(mt5.last_error())
    eurusd_rates = mt5.copy_rates_from("EURUSD", mt5.TIMEFRAME_M30, datetime(2020, 1, 28, 13), 1000)
    if eurusd_rates is None:
        raise Exception(mt5.last_error())
    else:
        print(eurusd_rates)
except Exception as e:
    print('MQL_ERROR', e)
finally:
    mt5.shutdown()

The problem solved itself. Maybe someone could use it.

Uninstalled Metatrader 5 from Alpari, downloaded a new one from forexclub, connected to their account and everything worked.

One of two things, either the first MT5 was wrongly installed or there's a problem with the broker.

Either way, thanks to everyone who tried to help!

In any case thanks to everybody who tried to help!

Maybe there is a limit on the number of bars, you need to remove this restriction in the terminal (Tools->Options->Max bars in chart).

Hi all.
Now it is possible to run a script in Python development environment and it will work in MT5.

Can you please tell me if it is possible to write a Python EA and run it in MT5 itself?

There are scripts, but they, as I understand, are for displaying information more, not for making trades under certain conditions.
Couldn't find a thread on the subject...
