MetaTrader5

✓ import MetaTrader5 as mt5

✗ from metatrader5 import *

Avoid wildcard import; use mt5 alias convention.

Initialize connection to MT5 terminal (must be running on local machine).

import MetaTrader5 as mt5 if not mt5.initialize(): print("initialize() failed") mt5.shutdown() else: print("MetaTrader5 version:", mt5.__version__) mt5.shutdown()

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 5.0.5735, the return type of mt5.copy_rates_from_pos changed from tuple to numpy array. Code expecting list or tuple may break.

fix

Ensure your code handles numpy arrays, or convert: list(mt5.copy_rates_from_pos(...))

affects: >=5.0.5735

gotchamt5.initialize() requires the MT5 terminal to be already running and logged in. Fails silently if terminal is not open.

fix

Always check the return value and print error with mt5.last_error() if available.

affects: all

deprecatedThe function mt5.CopyRates (capital C) was deprecated in favor of mt5.copy_rates_from_pos and mt5.copy_rates_from_range.

fix

Use mt5.copy_rates_from_pos or mt5.copy_rates_from_range with lowercase.

affects: >=5.0.5000
