'Mobile' Robots and Indicators

[Kevin Onsongo]

I was scouring the internet for inspiration for my next project, then I came across several claims that they can provide indicators that work on mobile.

I was curious because the best bet to get signals on mobile is setting up the indicator on a pc terminal somewhere with the signal account, then send notification using the MetaQuotes ID.

But these guys seemed to use a command line tool on android, termux where they run a mt5.py, then paste in further commands and it lets them connect to the mobile terminal. After connection they show the thing drawing plots on chart for signals. 

First thought was, this is a scam (because they were selling the indicators off mql5 market). Then I thought again that it may be technically possible to connect termux to the remote terminal, but connecting termux to mobile mt5 is where I have a problem.

Searching here, couldn't find anything useful. Is this possible or is it a fat scam?

If you want notifications sent from an MT5 Desktop indicator to MT5 Mobile on your phone, just put SendNotification() in the Desktop indicator code and setup your Metaquotes ID in Desktop MT5 Options settings.

If you want to avoid delayed execution, code an auto-trading EA for Desktop MT5, and just use your Metaquotes ID to send notifications of executed trades (post execution) to Mobile MT5 (this is a native Desktop MT5 setting).

You just reiterated what I said I knew to be the norm. My question is clear I guess.

Regarding MT5 Mobile, it doesn't natively support Python. Therefore, any such Python-Mobile MT5 connection would likely result from app hacking--which would violate MetaTrader terms and conditions. In this sense, it's already a "scam" without further examining the hacker's ultimate goal.
