Specification
Summary:
Develop a System Interface for Connecting, Exchanging Data, and Executing Trades onto any Brokers Web Trading Platform through MT4/MT5 in Stealth Mode.
Context:
Data feeds on brokers web trading platforms are often out of synch (in terms of price and timing) with the data feeds that are available in the standard MT4/MT5 as well as the broker instantiated versions of MT4/MT5. As a consequence the analysis conducted by traders in MT4/MT5 and the subsequent signals that are generated, and the trades that are placed via MT4/MT5 onto the Brokers trading platforms are often unsuccessful, resulting in more and more losses.
The trend today is that more and more brokers are now preferring that traders use only their proprietary web trading platforms with out any ability to connect to the brokers back-end systems (e.g., using APIs and other means) to interface with systems such as MT4/MT5. Such brokers also provide very little in terms of useful indicators and the ability for the trader to make informed decisions based on their own analysis.
Requirements:
A system is required that facilitates a real-time dynamic stealth interface between a broker's web trading platform and MT4/MT5. Stealth in the sense that the brokers web-trading platform feels like a real-human user is interacting with it as opposed to a software agent.
The system interface shall: connect, exchange data, and execute trades onto the brokers web trading platform, whilst MT4/MT5 manages the charting, analysis, indicators, expert advisers, and money management aspects of the traders requirements as it normally does best.
Details:
The system interface shall in stealth mode cater for the ability to:
1) connect and login to a broker's web trading platform as one would normally do when going to the brokers web trading platform physically
2) select multiple instruments for trading, time frames, bid amounts, etc
3) scrape in real-time for each instrument selected, the key parameters such as Balance, and current Price, and parse these values in real-time into MT4/MT5 allowing the time to accumulate to generate enough Bars (O,H,L,C) of specified Time-Frames of interest as required for Analysis in Indicators, and for executing trades with Expert-Advisers. This part has the effect of re-generating the data feed directly from the broker's displayed prices on their web-trading paltform, and would be much closer than would otherwise be obtained through other indirect data feeds that are out of synch. This is very crucial in Scalping, and Binary/Options trading where the minutest difference in strike times, strike prices, and execution speeds can mean the difference between success and failure.
4) manage all aspects with maintaining connectivity and live trading around opening and closing times effectively between brokers web-trading platforms and MT4/MT5
5) to newly-define and or re-define the connectivity to a new broker or existing broker web-platform with the corresponding selections of desired instruments and time frames without having to re-program the system.
Miscellaneous Considerations:
Test Cases for consideration may include: IQ Option, Binary.com, HighLow.net, and others.
Other similar partial solutions but not integrated with MT4/MT5 include: web scraping techniques, Mouse clicking scripts, web-sockets, APIs, macros, etc.
