Basic Examples
Example 1: Get actual EURUSD price from MT4 with C#
using System;
using System.Net.Sockets;
namespace ConsoleApp
{
internal class Program
{
static int bufferLen = 8192;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
TcpClient tcpClient = new TcpClient("127.0.0.1",77);
Byte[] data = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("{\"MSG\":\"QUOTE\",\"SYMBOL\":\"EURUSD\"}\r\n");
NetworkStream stream = tcpClient.GetStream();
stream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
data = new Byte[bufferLen];
String responseData = String.Empty;
int bytes = stream.Read(data, 0, data.Length);
responseData = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data, 0, bytes);
Console.WriteLine(responseData);
stream.Close();
tcpClient.Close();
}
}
}
Result:
{
"MSG":"QUOTE",
"SYMBOL":"EURUSD",
"ASK":1.08263,
"BID":1.08261,
"FLAGS":6,
"TIME":"2022.04.13 12:01:48.0",
