Gox has fallen out of circulation - are new versions for example btc-e?

No need for new version! Just change the default value ('mtgoxUSD') of the SymbolName parameter to whatever you choose from this list:

Has anyone adapted this for BTC China?

Also curious if there's a way to plugin cryptsy's feed? They have tons of alt coins, looking for a way to get MT4 charts on these.

I've examined the BTC China's API and at first glance I think it can be done! Cryptsy in other hand doesn't provide API to download history data!

So basically I need a live feed for gox, btc china, bitstamp and btc-e in one mt4 with a lag <5 secs.

If the script you create for BTC China doesn't lag behind BTC China for more then 3-5 secs I will send you a 5$ tip in btc. Not much I know but maybe others interested can pool in too and get this done.

I'm sorry to say this but with this approach that kind of lag can't be achieved! The main reason is because the script can't be connected all the time using tcp socket to receive realtime tick data!

I'm planning to rewrite it in Java as standalone app, but don't know when I have time to do it!

ah i see. do you know of any trading software that can display btc china charts/feed?

Have no idea!

Why go through all that work when you could just use BTC-E's MT4 platform?

Actually I'm running the script inside Btc-e terminal to watch closely and other exchanges - Mtgox and Bitstamp in my case!

I've also just released the Nextcoin version of the script: https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,3050.0.html

Thanks for your feedback! I trust you Smiley but I am very focused on security. Is there another 100% secure way to get Bitcoin auto updated charts into MT? I just use MT to analyze not to trade...


For MtGox exchange, as far as I know there is no other way!

I recommend you to take a look at this exchange: btc-e.com. They have their own MT server and no third party software is required!


I trade on Bitstamp. But I could just open an account on btc-e to use ther MT4 service?


Yes, then just go to Profile | Meta Trader and open a demo MT account!

How do I know for sure that is is not a trojan or something? I am downloading an exe...I guess many tried it out but that doesnt mean anything. Could activate in a few month...
KVM what is your incentive do provide this?

The original idea was to make some money by trading mtgox pairs by myself. But the result was not very good. So I've decided to share it. I would be happy if someone find it helpfull and donates some btc.

And yes, I argee that running a script with "Allow DLL imports" option is a little bit dangerous! Because of that, I've wrote the offline version sKVM-BTC-Import! It doesn't need "Allow DLL imports", because it uses only internal MT4 API functions which are perfectly safe!



Thanks for your reply. Does this mean that every time I want to refresh the chart I have to manually download a new file?

no. You run the updater all the time and it streams the live trades.

1. In case if you are using only the sKVM-BTC-Import - YES, you have to manually download the file and import it every time you want to refresh the chart!
Cons:
- requires user actions
- generates a lot of network traffic
- csv files are updated every 2-3 hours
Pros:
+ MetaTrader API protects your system

2. In case if you are using the eKVM-BTC-Chart - NO, just as joesmoe2012 said!
Cons:
- you have to trust me Smiley
Pros:
+ auto update
+ ticks are updated every 5-7 minutes

Hey, would you care and modify the script to match the API of DGEX.com exchange? It's the first exchange that allows trading NXT, the new 100% proof-of-stake coin. Nextcoin is just 4 weeks young and it's already gotten a huge attention in the cryptocurrency community. I'm sure the Nextcoin community would appreciate it.

Sounds very interesting! I will try to modify the scripts.

Are you really sure it is 100% legal to make a service based on MT4?
It may bring problems for the website who hosts the service. A broker who provides a MT4 service to it's users has to pay about 100K dollars..

From my understanding of this, brokers have to pay for the right to use the server that the clients talk to. But the clients are free of charge. I'm not sure, but how can be illegal to use their own API to save some data to a file and open it like a MT4 document for example? I'm not a lawyer, and maybe my theories are not that great!

Hi kvm!
The expert adivsor is enabled (smiley face) and currency to attach the script is in EURUSD (also tried using GPBUSD), there is always some movement on it.

Here is the log file, I did remove the history files and imported csv again after it and enabled the advisor multiple times..

Thanks for the help!

There are no errors or anything strange in the log! Could you try with UpdateOnInit=false?

If the problem still exists I will send you a build with more logs!

MT4 always stops doing the "Next update in xxx seconds" after a couple days. It is very weird, it works all right and suddenly after 2 days stops working.

I installed two different exchanges MT4 and did the process again, it did work for 2 days and stopped doing the automatic update in every MT4 I install.

Anyone is having the same problem? I unistall all the offline mtgox charts, history, eKVM files and it never comes back to auto update.. this is driving me crazy!

Please any ideas?


If you post your log files to this thread I may be able to help you. Log files are located by default in:
C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts\logs

Please consider that auto updating works only if "Expert Advisors" feature is enabled and there is some movement on the main chart (for example, EURUSD)!

Can you do charting for other crypto currencies on there too?

Yes, if there is an API it should be possible.

When I start MT4 it deletes sKVM-BTC-Import_v1.2.ex4 from ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/MetaTrader 4/experts/...

As far as I have read: http://forum.mql4.com/56320

"This problem seems to be related to the build 507! There have already been a number of posts about it already!"

So try a newer build or reinstall it!
