CCXT Software Server Showcase: entry crypto exchanges by way of MQL5 library from MetaTrader 5 – Different – 3 July 2025

First, embrace the headers.

#embrace "ccxtjsmtlib.mqh" 
#embrace "ccxtutil.mqh"

Within the inputs, the Node server setup must be finished (by default, it is localhost and port 8124).

enter group "Connection settings"
enter string NodeServer = "http://127.0.0.1:8124";
enter string NodeAuth = ""; 

Subsequent, present a selected change you wish to work with. Depart the enter empty to view a printout with a listing of all supported exchanges.

enter string Trade = ""; 

Additionally present a ticker you are curious about. If you do not know the identify, run the script first time and have a look at MQL5/Information/CCXT/ folder the place all acquired knowledge is dumped by default, so you will discover json-files with full markets information.

enter string Ticker = "BCH/USDT";

For watching assessments (subscriptions by way of websockets) specify their period:

enter uint WatchingDuration = 10; 

The script demonstrates learn how to setup credentials for personal APIs, however is not going to use any personal operate.

enter group "Trade settings (Personal API)"
enter string ApiKey = "";
enter string Secret = "";
enter string Uid = "";
enter string Login = "";
enter string Password = "";

Extra settings help you management the logging degree, dumping of all acquired knowledge, and timeouts.

enter group "Auxiliary settings"
enter ushort Logging = 1; 
enter bool Dumping = true;
enter uint Timeout = 5; 

If the script is working very first time, it’s going to ask to unpack (manually) CCXT Software Server (extracted as ccxtappsrvbundle.jsc from a built-in useful resource), and run Node.js with it.
