Metatrader Exchange API

[not-matthias]

It'd be neat to be able to use Metatrader, because they are broker independant. They already have a ton of implementations for other exchanges, which would make this very useful.

Backtrader already implemented this here by using the MQL5-JSON-API.

That sounds interesting.

I'm not familiar with MetaTrader. They provide WebSocket feeds?

Also, is it a paid service?

MQL5-JSON-API uses ZeroMQ, but Metatrader also supports Websockets.

It's not (you can download it from here if you want to try it out: https://www.metatrader5.com/). You can just login with your broker account in the client. It's not open source though.
