2 platform communication

Yerim Rayann Gon Diarra 2023.11.19 02:20

Hi, fellow dev

At the moment I use a CSV file in the common folder to help 2 MT4 instance to communicate together. But it's too slow, generally above 3 sec

I need something faster in the milliseconds order

Does someone have an idea?

Thanks

What about a RAM disk and Windows functions to manage the files?

That's a really good idea (I was thinking of an in-memory database but that would require some effort to implement/interface)

Your topic has been moved to the section: MQL4 and MetaTrader 4
Please consider which section is most appropriate — https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/172166/page6#comment_49114893

Each language has its own forum, and it is therefore forbidden to communicate in any language other than that of the forum in question...
