Is this lib usable really for backtesting?

[Bluestart83]

Hi,

Thanks for you work, but please precise that it's non really usable for backtrading in the readme. And any other limitations.

There is no protocol to know when data Success or not to get historic data, sending 5 time the same data? No start of function or end or communication protocol?

for (int i=0; i<5; i++) { if (WriteToFile(filePathHistoricData, text)) break; Sleep(100); }

Hi,
Thanks for your comment. I have added a setence about backtesting to the introduction.

Regarding the "sending 5 time the same data", when writing to file was successful, WriteToFile() returns true and therefore breaks the for loop.
The communication protocol can certainly be improved, and we're always open to pull requests.

Thanks for your answer, you are right, but I did not have correct data when running it. It's really not stable enough for live trading to me.
I have developped docker image with MT5 and wine and running perfectly with official MT5 python library. No custom Expert Advisor, and added a restfull API that cover 100% of my needs 🚀
