Live Bitcoin Charts in MetaTrader 4 for any market @ bitcoincharts.com

[kvm]

Failed to work for me. Cant figure out whats wrong.
I Kept EUR/USD open,got the EA, set allow imports. But  in the next step,[File -> Open Offline, look for "mtgoxUSD,M1"], For me there is no "mtgoxUSD,M1" listed among the options.

The EA is greyed out, is that how its supposed to be?

The EA doesn't work any more, because of the recent Bitcoincharts API changes!

This is a standard type of thing for a start-up.

They get you to visit the site, sign up, then after however-long-it-darn-well-takes-to-have-a-beta-version, they email you and ask you to hop on board.

I signed up as well. Same deal. But, I knew from the initial screen that was what it was.

Just be patient. They'll update you when they have something to deliver.

Is it possible to use this without creating an account in MT4?

Never saw an answer to this....

But since the EA no longer works it may not matter much.  But if the new one from meta-coin does work, I may want to try it out, so still need to know if MT4 can be used without creating an account?

they don't say what it really will be.....but it looks like it will me a "MtGox" inside MetaTrader (since they mention Bots). So they likeley will have their own Metatrader and you need to have an acoount there

[dwolfman]

Well, that might suck.  When I started to make an account in MT4, one of the things it had was how much of a deposit to make, where the smallest selectable amount was in the thousands.  I've only got about 1 bitcoin's worth to work with right now, so kind think I won't meet that minimum.

No, the EA won't work without an account!

Because of that and some other limitations of MQL language, I decided to change the tactics.
The new version of KVM-BTC-Chart will be an external application, similar to the sierrachartfeed.exe!
So I think there will be no need to use an account in MT4, but this is not sure yet! I hope that it will be ready for a test in a month or so.

P.S.: I don't have any relations with this meta-coin site!

There are?  MT4 site didn't seem to indicate that.

amost all forexbrokers offer a Demo-account. Many of those who wotk with MT4 have unlimited accounts afaik (without expiering)

This is the first row of BTCUSD tick data from mt.gox from your link:

1279408157,0.049510000000,20.000000000000

What is ''1279408157''? - a date and hour? please decipher this for me. The other two seem to be price and volume

Lines in CSV files have the following fixed format:

unixtime,price,amount

where the unixtime is the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1, 1970.

1279408157 = Sat, 17 Jul 2010 23:09:17 GMT

Thanks kvm,

Is there a way to get the feed in the following format:

          Date               Time               Price         Volume
e.g.     29.04.2013      15:06:59         135.01       102

My intention is to get the data flowing into other (not MT4) programme.

Can I get a link to one?  Since I'm still new to BTC and have never done forex trading before, I don't even know where to start looking.

You should ask the developer of Bitcoinchart API. But as far as I know there is no other format except the one that is described on their site:

unixtime,price,amount

Or just convert the data into your format

Hi rezurect,

You need to "allow dll imports" so you got the smiley in the upper right corner.
The E.A. is greyed out cause kvm only gave us the compiled version.
If you have both, source and compiled version you'll see the E.A. listed in color.

But as kvm mentioned earlyer, the E.A. wont work cause of an api change on bitcoincharts.

Cheers,

[Serjster]

@kvm why don't you use Mt.Gox's API? It's real time, minus the 30 second delay between requests...
