Hi,
The MetaQuotes site advertises the following:

MetaTrader API makes it possible to develop custom software applications used for automating business processes. MetaTrader API possesses a lot of functions that can be called virtually from any software development environment for Microsoft Windows. A qualified software developer gets rich functionality of the MetaTrader system at her/his disposal and can create custom software using a programming language s/he prefers.

I have a trading strategy written in Java that takes a composite industry feed to look for market entries and then executes trades via one or more institutional brokers. Some of these institutional brokers are moving to MetaTrader, so I would like to use the MetaTrader 4 API to automatically execute trades with these brokers.

Where can i download this API? I cannot find any reference to the download site.

Thanks,
Robert

Useful hints for the Championship participants

As the rules of the Championship are rigid enough we would like to explain them in more details. As well to give help on writing correct experts.

So what is meant by "MetaTrader API posesses a lot of functions that can be called virtually from any software development environment for Microsoft Windows"? Does this statement only apply to the Data Feed/Server APIs that are used by brokers to provide their services through MetaTrader?

Thanks,

Robert
