Looking for info on signal mirroring set-up via MT4 EA

 

Traders & developers --

We have developed a successful trading EA which is running live on a large account with success.

Our plan is to NOT release this EA, but we are looking at providing managed accounts on our own network facilities and possibly also an automated signaling service along the lines of Rent A Signal but without the middle man. Hence this post.

Is anyone aware of a signal sharing client/server set-up implemented as an MT4 EA which would allow us to send out signals from our main account as the "service" side to subscribers running the "client" side on their own MT4 platforms? The point would be for our open account positions to be duplicated on our client's terminals against their own accounts in realtime.

thx, tbuitendyk.

 

its possible to create such a solution.

i can do this.

make me an offer how much money you want to pay for the client EA, the added functionallity for the main EA, the webspace setup, programming the webserver php-scripts etc.

i give you a hint. everything under 2000 EURO and you will get no solution from me and no answer.

i expect 50% prepaid before i start coding.

maintaining and support for the webspace/eas/scripts costs at least 500 EURO per month.

Signal or trade copying obviously introduces some nasty issues in the areas of (a) latency and (b) reliability. It's a precarious option for anything other than the simplest systems, making fairly long-term trades where exact entry and exit prices are insignificant. However, there are various solutions available in this area. And, with apologies to meikel, they cost a lot less than EUR 2,000.


Alternatively, most (major) brokers offer a service where N lots are traded centrally, and those trades can then be apportioned between "slave" / "client" accounts. However, this kind of setup usually constitutes providing investment advice and/or handling client money according to the rules of your local financial regulator. Therefore, the attractiveness of this route depends on how good you think your EA is, and how much you are prepared to invest in creating a regulatory structure to support it.

sure, if one code/develop them (such a solution) and sell them to more than one customer, you can reduce the price for each copy.

i estimated (very roughly) the cost for all work to do, and if there is only one customer, he have to pay it all.

besides that, the threadopener is in a position that he dont has to pay, he passes over the costs to his customers, and if he has 100 customers, each one pays 20 euro one time and 5 euros monthly for my service.

but indeed, i am not very interested in such a project.

no need to apologize, jjc ;-)

I'm all ears, as they say! Obviously I've looked without success, hence the posting. Could you point us in the direction of _any_, _some_, or _even one_ of the "various solutions"??

thx! t.

 
You mean like Collective2.com and http://curl.haxx.se/ ???

YES -- Just like those! Thx! (Are you aware of anyone cURLing a signal feeding/consuming EA??)

You could have a look at this. I've never used it so can't comment. Not sure if it's exactly what you're after.

I dont think there is much point reinventing the wheel here. Many brokers have PAMM/LAMM accounts, but since these are targeted for institutional accounts, they are usually not on their front page. Just need to look around for a broker with this kind of solution.
 

Maybe you can try http://www.ea800.com/bbs/forum-80-1.html

the route is your MT---->a realtime report EA ->> internet --> to web site ->> internet ->>>> to registered clients's PC -> a realtime received Client EA-->> Client MT.

Wow, can you translate that please....


I think what tbuitendyk wants is : his MT4 ==> Some distribution/Transmitter software in tbuitendyk's server ==> Internet ==> some Receiver software in user PC ==> User MT4.


(: You know, comes to think of it, why don't you give your investor password, and the client copy trade from there. There's plenty copy trade software out there, you know. Just a thought :)


I have the same idea, but to back up MT4. Just in case my primary server is crash, the other MT4 running in different servers takes over the trade. I'm still trying though :)


Attachment is from http://www.collective2.com/static/info/mtinfo.htm use decompiler to study it.


Good luck.
