mt5linux

library1.0.3pypypi✓ verified 79d ago

A Python library that wraps the MetaTrader5 API using a server-client architecture, enabling MetaTrader5 operations (e.g., account info, market data, orders) on Linux systems where the official MetaTrader5 package cannot be installed. Version 1.0.3 is stable but lightly maintained; no major release cadence.

MetaTrader5

✓ from mt5linux import MetaTrader5

✗ from mt5linux import Mt5Linux

Connect to an existing mt5linux server and fetch account info.

from mt5linux import Mt5Linux # Connect to already running mt5linux server (default host/port) mt5 = Mt5Linux('localhost', 5050) # Check connection print('Connected:', mt5.connected) # Get account info account_info = mt5.account_info() print('Account:', account_info) # Get symbol tick (adjust symbol and server settings as needed) # tick = mt5.get_symbol_tick('EURUSD')

Debug

Known issues

gotchamt5linux is a CLIENT library only. You MUST run the separate mt5linux server application (Windows-only) that has MetaTrader5 installed. The client (on Linux/Mac) simply send requests to that Windows server via TCP sockets.

fix

Install and launch the mt5linux server on a Windows machine with MT5. Then connect from your Linux client.

affects: all

gotchaMany mt5linux methods mimic MetaTrader5 API but with different naming (e.g., account_info instead of account_info()), and results are dictionaries, not namedtuples. Do not use MetaTrader5 documentation for exact function signatures.

fix

Refer to the mt5linux README or source code for available client methods.

affects: all

deprecatedThe library is not actively maintained. The last commit on GitHub was in 2022. Issues and pull requests may go unanswered.

fix

Consider forking or using alternatives (e.g., MT5 via Wine + pywinauto or the official MetaTrader5 package if on Windows).
