New Feature: Forwarding Entry Signals to Other MT4/MT5/PCs

Feature Overview

• Entry signals can now be forwarded from MT4 to MT5.
• Entry signals can be forwarded from MT5 to MT4.
• Entry signals can be forwarded from one PC to another, limited to the same network.

Usage Examples

• Forward the entry signals from the FNC_DB strategy created with an indicator available only on MT4 to MT5.
• Alternatively, do the reverse.
• Forward high-load FNC_DB strategy signals to a lower-performance PC.
• Copy signals to another account for automated trading.

Function Details

• The signals are transmitted over a network using TCP.
• The ports used range from 49000 to around 10000 ports higher or lower.
• The "Pairing ID" parameter is set within the range of 10000 to -10000.
• The transmission is limited to the same local network, so no data will be transmitted externally.

"FNC_LINK_Sender" Indicator

• This indicator sends entry signals.
• Add it to the same chart window as the FNC_DB.
• It does not display as a signal column.
• The "Receiver hostname or IP address" parameter should be set to the name or IP address of the receiving PC.
• The "Pairing ID" parameter must match between the sending and receiving sides.

"FNC_LINK_Receiver" Indicator

• This indicator receives entry signals.
• Add it to the same chart window as the FNC_DB.
• It will display as a signal column.
• The "Pairing ID" parameter must match between the sending and receiving sides.
• You can configure currency pair conversion.
• Set to remove the suffix of the currency pair on the sending side's broker.
• Set to add the suffix of the currency pair on the receiving side's broker.
• If the currency pair names are completely different, a conversion table can be set. Example: JP225=NIKKEI, DAX=GER40, DOW=US30.

Status Lamp Added (MT4 Only)

• A status lamp has been added near the button of FNC_DB.
• If the button is hidden, the status lamp will also be hidden.
• Green: Operating normally.
• Yellow: Unable to connect between sending and receiving sides.
• Red: Error detected.
• Details can be viewed via tooltip.

Usage Notes

• A security warning window will appear once on Windows.
• To continue using it, allow access.
• Some network configurations (e.g., router settings) may be required, but this is typically not necessary for most users. I am unable to provide support for these setups, should they be needed.

Acknowledgements

• I have only tested signal sending and receiving within the same PC.
• Since I only own one PC, I have not tested forwarding signals to another PC.
• In theory, it should work, but please inform me of any issues.
