Hello I can not find file MQL5

What do you mean ? mql5 file is attached below the article.

[vanvolxem]

I would test pipeclient.mq5 application, but the link load is not correct,

I said that I am not computer.

I would have wanted to create a database for analysis outside of MT5 because my trading system is based on correlation thank you for your response

Ok, I see. Reported to Service Desk.

You can download this file directly from your MT5 platform. Simply use the search tool with pipeclient keyword.

Help please someone, how to get the server to accept data of type double

[sergnif]

I still don't understand where the __countof function is described

Code::Block swears at it.

I haven't found it in C++ documentation either.

It doesn't compile.

I replaced it with sizeof. It compiled.

I also had to connect three libraries and #define UNICODE

I have a question like this:

The article states:

Connect to the server by double checking: to the remote computer named 'RemoteServerName' or to the local computer. On the local one everything works and there are no questions.

void OnStart()
  {
//--- wait for pipe server
   while(!IsStopped())
     {
      if(ExtPipe.Open("\\\\RemoteServerName\\pipe\\MQL5.Pipe.Server",FILE_READ|FILE_WRITE|FILE_BIN)!=INVALID_HANDLE) break;
      if(ExtPipe.Open("\\\\.\\pipe\\MQL5.Pipe.Server",FILE_READ|FILE_WRITE|FILE_BIN)!=INVALID_HANDLE) break;
      Sleep(250);
     } 

But if you run PipeServer.exe on a remote VPS, and then throw the client script to the chart on another PC, having changed RemoteServerName to the name belonging to the VPS, then the server and the client do not see each other, i.e. the channel does not work, there is no connection.

What is the problem here, is it that the name of a particular VPS should be initially written in PipeServer.exe or what?

I may be wrong.

PipeServer.exe is an ancient technology and has security problems.
Today the ports are closed by default in the OS, you need to explicitly allow them.
In addition, these ports may be covered by ISPs, if so, you will have to talk to the support team.

If you manage to configure pipelining for remote access, please describe the recipe here.
And as a tip, look at the WebRequest function, it can replace pipelining.
