Metatrader 4 control via tcp/ip

Question

Here Malte talking about MT4 Server API. Could anybody tell me some simple "how to"?

where to get the DLL, install and run it inside the mt4 terminal
any known "protocol commands" via the API (as Malte told, it is undocumented)

So, i don't want reverse engineer the metatrader protocol, but want use the official api and need some more info about it.

thanx for any pointer in advance ;)

I reversed engineered the protocol to the point where I realised that it changes slightly for each broker and can be updated on the fly with LiveUpdate.exe In short it is near impossible to reverse engineer a general reliable solution.

Note: MT4 uses the standard FIX Protocol which is documented here: http://www.fixprotocol.org/
