Python working with multiple MT5 terminals

New comment
 
I work with Python and an MT5 terminal and it works correctly.
I want to expand to 3 terminals  with different accounts (3 accounts too) and I don't see the way.

I have tried to solve it with a connection to a portable terminal and it gives me an error.

path = "F:\MT5 Portable\terminal64.exe"
modo = True
ticker='SP500'
cuentaMt5=3546465415
serverMt5="Darwinex-Demo"
passwordMt5="luhvuahfu"

if not initialize(path, login=cuentaMt5, server=serverMt5, password=passwordMt5, portable=modo): #modo portable
        ...
        ...
initialize() failed, error code = (-10003, "IPC initialize failed, Process create failed 'F:\\MT5 Portable\terminal64.exe'")

The article describes an example of creating a class for working with the trade server return codes and all the errors that occur during the MQL-program run. Read the article, and you will learn how to work with classes and objects in MQL5. At the same time, this is a convenient tool for handling errors; and you can further change this tool according to your specific needs.
 

More tests performed: 

terminal_path_1 = "I:\\Software\\ MetaTrader 5\\terminal64.exe"
terminal_path_2 = "I:\\Software\\ MetaTrader1\\terminal64.exe"

print(mt5.initialize(terminal=terminal_path_2))
mt5.shutdown()

print (mt5.initialize(terminal=terminal_path_1))
mt5.shutdown()

The same Path_1 always opens for me and it doesn't close

Try to find a solution here. Out of the box MT5 does not support multiple instances bound to python at the same time, at the moment.

I've got multiple python programs that connect to Mt5 terminal using the following code. The problem I have is that, when multiple programs connect to the same MT5 , the performance degrades & one or more python programs exit with errors. To overcome this, I have installed multiple copies of MT5 & have updated the python code such that...
