New article Developing a trading Expert Advisor from scratch (Part 16): Accessing data on the web (II) has been published:

Everything works great. It was expected, since this kind of solution is widely used in programming when developing a client-server program, where we do not want one to block the other. In other words, we use a channel to communicate between processes. Often, when they are in the same environment, the channel will be created using memory — an isolated area is specifically allocated for this, which is however shared and visible to both client and server. The server adds data there, and the client visits the same area to grab the existing data. So, one does not depend on the other, while they both are connected.
