Check out the new article: Developing a Replay System (Part 78): New Chart Trade (V).

In this article, we will look at how to implement part of the receiver code. Here we will implement an Expert Advisor to test and learn how the protocol interaction works. The content presented here is intended solely for educational purposes. Under no circumstances should the application be viewed for any purpose other than to learn and master the concepts presented.

As explained in this article, the Expert Advisor is still not capable of sending requests to the trading server. That's intentional. Before doing so, you must fully understand how the code works - and, more importantly, how the communication protocol between Chart Trade and the Expert Advisor functions. Without this foundation, you risk running into serious issues.

Still, presenting it this way has its benefits. Along the way, I was able to explain a concept you may well encounter in the future and not immediately understand why it does (or doesn't) work. In any case, we now have the building blocks in place for what's coming next. In the video below, you can see how the system behaves in practice. So, until the next article, where things will get even more interesting.
