Hi There, I know this is an old issue but with the increased requests by many traders to use ib TWS as a live data feed for an offline mt4/5 platform independently of any brokers feeds, I started this thread again. It well help solve many broker related issues that will render your platform as well as strategies and analysis useless due to broker server control and manipulation. It will also be a good way protect your systems from the preying eyes of evil broker. It can also be used as transit stage to the world of professional platform or ib wts.
I searched this web site as well as googled others and I have been through hundreds of threads and posts. I found so many posts that end up with general suggestion to use this and use that with no specific product that can be used on the fly and most suggestions were quite technical and geared toward professional programmer.
Another solution is available as a bridge to connect a full functioning online mt4 and use it as a front end to send orders to ib tws. both have to be connected to the internet and receive data feeds from their respective brokers as far as i know [correct me if i am wrong]. I have not give it a try.
What i am looking for is a simple indicator, EA or an interface that would let an offline mt4 to connect to an online IB TWS and only receive live stream of data feed then present it to an OFFLINE MT4 so it can build a very reliable, error free and manipulation free charts with no further functions like sending order or translating indicator or what ever. In short IB TWS will feed live data to the offline MT4.
IS there way to accomplish this with no sophistication. Can someone code this and make available to traders. Please keep the negative comments and attitude to yourself and be positive by either participate in coming up with such ea or guide us to any resource that can accomplish such function.
Thanks
Erkan
