Check out the new article: Market Simulation (Part 15): Sockets (IX).
In the previous article, "Market Modeling (Part 14): Sockets (VIII)", we explored how certain things can be done using Python without relying on third-party packages or tools. I don't want to discourage you from using packages that help accomplish tasks in Python, but the purpose of these demonstrations is to encourage you to study concepts with greater interest. There's no point in relying on external packages or solutions if we can do everything based on what our favorite language allows.
I believe that in that article, I managed to spark your curiosity about certain matters whose inner workings many people don't understand. I think that most people, if they've taken any course or studied standard materials on this subject, have never heard of some technologies. One example is COM technology, which we briefly mentioned in the previous article. However, knowing how to use these methods will help you at all stages of programming.
In this article, we will explain one of the possible solutions to what we have been trying to demonstrate—namely, how to allow an Excel user to perform an action in MetaTrader 5 without sending orders, or opening or closing positions. The idea is that the user employs Excel to conduct fundamental analysis of a particular symbol. And by using only Excel, they can instruct an expert advisor running in MetaTrader 5 to open or close a specific position.
