PINGLEWARE Metatrader API Proxy for OANDA v2.0 REST API

API algorithmin trading is independent of the operating system and trading platform. The OANDA REST API has functionality not available to metatrader expert advisors like a Market-If-Touch order which is an extensive pending order, and API trading permits the inclusion of trailing stop.

This module provides provides matching functionality of the metatrader functions to the OANDA REST API.

Using MQL5.COM private signals

If your trading account is associated with MetaTrader, then you can create a private signal to monitor and obtain live statistics and performance metrics of your API algorithmic trading, but keep in mond that API trading is marked as 'Placed manually' whereas a metatrader EA is marked as 'Placed by expert'. If only API trades are placed on the account, the Algo Trading metric will show 0% because metatrader is reporting those trades as manual trades. Best to keep the signal private with the above notation reminder in the description.

Installation

npm i @pingleware/metatrader4-oanda

Usage

"use strict"

const {
    initialize, 
    AccountNumber
} = require("@pingleware/metatrader4-oanda");

// First, you must initialize the module with a selected OANDA account, whether LIVE or PRACTICE
initialize('api-fxpractice.oanda.com','[ACCESS TOKEN]','[ACCOUNT ID (not the MT4 account number)]');

// returns the MT4 account
AccountNumber(function(accountNumber){
    console.log(accountNumber);
});

OrderSend has a trailing stop parameter and removes the arrow color parameter. With API trading, you can include a trailing stop loss order when the order is first created. Prior to API trading and within the MQL programming, you were required to write a trailing stop algorithm in an expert advisor or watch the Metatrader terminal and add the trailing stop the each trade manually.

OrderSend(symbol,cmd,volume,price,slippage,stoploss,takeprofit,trailingstop,comment=null,magic=0,expiration=0,callback);

where,

symbol refers to the currency pair,
cmd refers to the trade operation, OP_BUY, OP_SELL, etc.
volume refers to the lot size in decimal format and wil automatically divide by 100,000 for a standard lot
price refers to the trade price
slippage refers to the maximum price you will accept
stoploss refers to the stop loss target
takeprofit refers to the take profit target
trailingstop refers to the distance for the trailing stop loss, a zero indicates no trailing stop loss
comment refers to a user-defined comment
magic sets the tag value in the clientExtensions
expiration sets an expiry time for LIMIT and STOP orders
callback is the callback function to return the trade information

iCustom function

The iCustom function is provided to invoke standalone executable indicator files, which take the command line arguments,

program_name symbol timeframe [optional indicator arguments]

the indicator code should output the results to the console for the return to capture the console and send back to the caller.

Supported Metatrader Functions

The following functions are supported and use callbacks for asynchronous communication,

End-of-Life Doctrine

When a piece of software is useful, there should never be an EOL doctrine. The intention for this application is to achieve immoratlity ;). At some point of time in the future, this project may appear to be dead and abandon. The opposite will be true! When this project reaches that stage, this project has matured to a level where maintenance is minimal (mostly updating to latest version of Node).
