Advanced MTsocketAPI Configuration

MTsocketAPI listens on ports:

Description	Type	Port	Use
Commands	TCP	77	Legacy
Data	TCP	78	Legacy
HTTP/Websockets	TCP	81	Recommended

Starting with version 5.40, there is a new port (TCP 81) that responds to http request and stream realtime data using websocket protocol.

The Input tab enables users to adjust the ports used by MTsocketAPI:

Note

If you set "HTTP/Websockets only" to true, then the command and data ports will be closed and only the HTTP/Websockets port will work.

Tip

In the event that multiple Metatrader 5 applications are running on the same computer, it is necessary to utilize different ports.

As an illustration, if four Metatrader applications are running on the same machine, the following ports can be utilized::

	MT5 (1)	MT5 (2)	MT5 (3)	MT5 (4)
Command TCP Port	71	73	75	77
Data TCP Port	72	74	76	78
HTTP/Websockets Port	81	82	83	84

Note

Please ensure that you check the Expert tab to verify that the new selected ports have been opened successfully:
