Basic Examples

Example 1: Get actual EURUSD price from MT4 with PowerShell

$IP = [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses("127.0.0.1")
$Port = 77

$Address = [System.Net.IPAddress]::Parse($IP)
$Socket = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient($Address,$Port)
$Stream = $Socket.GetStream()

$Writer = New-Object System.IO.StreamWriter($Stream)
$Reader = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader($Stream)

$Writer.WriteLine('{"MSG":"QUOTE","SYMBOL":"EURUSD"}')
$Writer.Flush()

$Response = $Reader.ReadLine()
Write-Host $Response

$Stream.Close()
$Socket.Close()

Result:

{
   "MSG":"QUOTE",
   "SYMBOL":"EURUSD",
   "ASK":1.08263,
   "BID":1.08261,
   "FLAGS":6,
   "TIME":"2022.04.13 12:01:48.0",
   "VOLUME":0,
   "ERROR_ID":0,
   "ERROR_DESCRIPTION":"no error"
}

Example 2: Send Order to MT4 with PowerShell

$IP = [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses("127.0.0.1")
$Port = 77

$Address = [System.Net.IPAddress]::Parse($IP)
$Socket = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient($Address,$Port)
$Stream = $Socket.GetStream()

$Writer = New-Object System.IO.StreamWriter($Stream)
$Reader = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader($Stream)

$Writer.WriteLine('{"MSG":"ORDER_SEND","SYMBOL":"EURUSD","VOLUME":0.02,"TYPE":"ORDER_TYPE_BUY"}')
$Writer.Flush()

$Response = $Reader.ReadLine()
Write-Host $Response

$Stream.Close()
$Socket.Close()

Result:

{
   "MSG":"ORDER_SEND",
   "TICKET":6543216,
   "ERROR_ID":0,
   "ERROR_DESCRIPTION":"no error"
}

Example 3: Stream actual EURUSD price from MT4 with PowerShell

$IP = [System.Net.Dns]::GetHostAddresses("127.0.0.1")
$Port_cmd = 77
$Port_data = 78

$Address = [System.Net.IPAddress]::Parse($IP)
$Socket_cmd = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient($Address,$Port_cmd)
$Socket_data = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient($Address,$Port_data)

$Stream_cmd = $Socket_cmd.GetStream()
$Stream_data = $Socket_data.GetStream()

$Writer_cmd = New-Object System.IO.StreamWriter($Stream_cmd)
$Reader_cmd = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader($Stream_cmd)

$Writer_data = New-Object System.IO.StreamWriter($Stream_data)
$Reader_data = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader($Stream_data)

$Writer_cmd.WriteLine('{"MSG":"TRACK_PRICES","SYMBOLS":["EURUSD"]}')

   Write-Host $Response_data
}

$Stream_cmd.Close()
$Socket_cmd.Close()

$Stream_data.Close()
$Socket_data.Close()
