Basic Examples for MT5 (for MT4 click here)
Example 1: Get actual EURUSD price from MT5 using NodeJS
// Include Nodejs' net module.
const Net = require('net');
// The port number and hostname of the server.
const port = 77;
const host = 'localhost';
// Create a new TCP client.
const client = new Net.Socket();
// Send a connection request to the server.
client.connect(port, host, function() {
// The client can now send data to the server by writing to its socket.
client.write('{"MSG":"QUOTE","SYMBOL":"EURUSD"}' + '\r\n');
});
// The client can also receive data from the server by reading from its socket.
client.on('data', function(chunk) {
console.log(`${chunk.toString()}`);
client.end();
});
