How to receive an http call in MT4

 

Hi everyone. I'm interested in using chat software to send trade instructions to an EA in MT4. Slack has an Outgoing WebHooks integration that will allow me to send an http request but I haven't been able to find any way for MT4 to receive these requests so they can be acted on. I can send http messages from an MT4 EA to Slack but not in the other direction. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this please?

 Thanks for any help!

 
You'll have to implement your own web server, have it leave a file or use named pipes or quick channel to get it to the EA.

Thanks for your reply. I'll see if I can get Apache to install on my VPS and take it from there.

 I will also try to figure out named pipes since I don't like the idea of using files for this.

Thanks a lot.
