Does MT4/5 support websocket

[THI HONG]

Does the MT4/5 platform support websocket connection, who can provide the URL?

If there are other interfaces besides MSQ, we are preparing a new trading platform, which requires api and websocket to push data. I hope you can help me recommend it, thank you

MQL5 supports normal network sockets. You will need to implement your code for web-sockets.

There is however an article on web-sockets that may be of use to you.

But of course this has all changed, in this article we will explore the implementation of a websocket library in pure MQL5. A brief description of the websocket protocol will be given along with a step by step guide on how to use the resulting library.
