Forex send orders using Python without Metatrader5

Question

Need solutions to Forex order_send in Python. using Metatrader5 its so easy:

import MetaTrader5 as mt5

            request = {
                "action": mt5.TRADE_ACTION_DEAL,
                "symbol": symbol,
                "volume": lot,
                "type": trade_type,
                "price": price,
                "tp": tp,
                "sl": sl,
            }

            result = mt5.order_send(request)

But for some reason I only have one Linux server now. My attempts to install MetaTrader 5 were completely unsuccessful (even after trying the Windows emulator).

Is there a way to Send my forex orders without using Metatrader5?

Thank you all

I said it in question, it's unsuccessful. I need a way to send orders without Metatrader — M.a.RS, Dec 17 '21 at 22:58
Thank you for your attention .You made me doubt by asking. Did I make a mistake and is there a way to install it? After searching, I came to the conclusion that NO! (there is a suggestion to use wine, which I can not trust for online trading and scalp. Although the wine itself is not installed) — M.a.RS, Dec 17 '21 at 23:43

You can try MetaApi https://metaapi.cloud cloud service which provides REST API and WebSocket API access to both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 accounts.

Official REST API documentation: https://metaapi.cloud/docs/client

SDKs: https://metaapi.cloud/sdks (javascript, python and Java SDKs are provided as per Dec 2021)

The service supports reading account information, positions, orders, trade history, receiving quotes, and accessing market data.

In order to place a trade from Python code you can use trade REST API or trade API from Python SDK.

It have free access, but free version has some limitations. The MT terminal is stopped each two hours on a free version. – roman Dec 22 '21 at 17:23

Metatrader5 Python package is only for Windows and cannot be installed on Linux. See https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/354796

So the only way to run MT on Linux is a Windows emulator. I run MT4 and MT5 in Ubuntu and macOS using Wine.

Probably the good way is to ask about your problems with installing MT5 using Wine at https://superuser.com/.

Installing Python under Windows emulator is a separate problem.

Unfortunately no. Metatrader uses custom protocol to communicate with the broker and Python package communicates with Metatraer program. – Yuri Ginsburg Dec 18 '21 at 00:49
Does it mean there is no Forex trading bot has been ever made in among Linux users? Let me be a little hopeful :((( – M.a.RS Dec 18 '21 at 01:47
