Authenticate into an MT4 account from MQL4 (tested in build 880) – library MetaTrader 4
by
Since MetaTrader 4 build 880 was released, it’s no longer easy to programmatically fill values in Login dialog.
This library hides the complicated stuff and provides easy to use API to login to any MetaTrader 4 account from within MQL4 script/expert.
Any contribution appreciated.
