Mt4 model for integration with python?

Hello all

Is there mt4 module for integration with python like this for mt5 ?

If the answer is NO, is there any other solutions to open the terminal and manage it automatically? (without connecting the python with EA via socket or any something else).

Thanks

I don't know much about MT4 but one option is to write info to a file from Python, and the process it with MT4. And vice versa.

Not optimal, but effectively building your own file based interface

Hello

Thank you for your help.

But the Mt5 model for integration with python can open an account from the python script.

And with files in mt4 will not do that.

No, there is no Python integration API for MetaTrader 4.

No, there is no other means to manage the terminal externally, except what is already provided via the command line start-up which is very limited.

Any and all methods of interaction with MetaTrader 4 from externally, has always required that the terminal run custom MQL4 code, that either uses files or DLL calls to be able to communicate with the external applications.
