Expert Advisor C/C++/MQL Compiler
Fintechee has developed a Node.js package to assist traders in compiling Expert Advisors or Custom Indicators based on C/C++/MQL. The use of the Expert Advisor Studio Download is not necessary.
An Expert Advisor aids traders in monitoring market movements. Developing an expert advisor can be time-consuming, especially when porting to a specific programming language that one is not familiar with.
The primitive SDK of Fintechee is JavaScript-based. JavaScript, being a single-thread, asynchronous programming language, makes it challenging to migrate C/C++/MQL-based programs to JavaScript.
Fintechee has created the Expert Advisor C/C++/MQL Compiler to help traders compile C/C++/MQL-based expert advisors or custom indicators, extending programming compatibility.
Prerequisites
Emscripten is required for executing the compilation of C/C++/MQL files. Ensure it is installed beforehand.
Please visit the official website to download Emscripten: Emscripten.
If compilation fails, the most likely issue is an incorrectly set PATH environment variable. Refer to this issue post for a discussion on the solution to resolve the problem.
Installation
Visit our GitHub repository: Expert Advisor C/C++/MQL Compiler.
- Download the git repository and extract the downloaded zip file.
- Navigate to the directory.
- Run “npm i”.
Run the Server Package
In the installation directory, run the command: “node app.js”. Upon successful execution, a program will be monitoring port 3000, awaiting further operation commands.
Compiling C/C++/MQL-based Source Codes
Begin by opening our WEB Trader. Click on the “Console” item in the menu bar (on the left side of the page) and choose the “C/C++” tab on the prompted panel.
Follow these steps:
- Drag and drop your C/C++/MQL source codes into the coding text area.
- Set the URL (where your C++ compiler is installed) and the name of your EA (or your custom indicator) in the two text boxes.
- Click “Generate Indicator” to generate meta-information for your indicator or click “Generate EA” for your EA. Alternatively, generate the source codes with an alternative tool.
- Replace the original data declarations with the generated source codes. If unsure how to replace the codes, refer to our other tool’s guide.
- Compile the new source codes by clicking “Compile Indicator” or “Compile EA” accordingly.
- Check the information output by the compiler.
- Set the “definition” parameter of “mql_indicator_loader_plugin” or “mql_ea_loader_plugin” to the generated JSON string, and then load the indicator or the EA.
Upon successful completion of these steps, you will observe the C/C++/MQL-based program running on our platform.
