This utility for MetaTrader 5 transforms the trading terminal into a REST API server, enabling external software to control trading operations via HTTP.
MT5 REST API Server facilitates remote account monitoring, price retrieval, and full trade execution, including market orders, pending orders, and partial closes. The system supports asynchronous webhooks with JSON or x-form formats to notify external servers of trade events. It features token authentication but requires a manually compiled C++ DLL and the Visual Studio redistributable to function. It serves as a technical bridge rather than a standalone trading strategy.
