[USERID] |
This is the userid that you want to tag with this MT4 account's data history. This is a unique identifier available to you to use in your project for any specific purpose you might have. If you don't need this parameter you can leave it blank or not send it as part of the API call. |
Alphanumeric value. No special characters allowed. |
[APIKEY] |
This is the API key that is unique to you. You can get this by creating a free account here. Note that all new accounts get free API quota of 1000 calls so you can test the interface. Once you successfully create an account, your API key will be made available in your members area. |
A randomly generated alphanumeric value. |
[ACCOUNTNUMBER] |
This is the MT4 account number for which you need to read the trade history. |
Any numeric value. If any characters other than numbers are found, API will return an error message. |
[TRADESERVER] |
This is the trade server of the broker where the account has been created. Be careful with this one as it must be the actual address of the server - not the one you see in the login box when you try to login to your MT4 account. More help is available by clicking on the help link in the form above or in the FAQs section. |

Hexadecimal representation of the alphanumeric string. |
[CHARTSUFFIX] |
This is the suffix your broker may be using for charts in your trading account. For example, usually the pair USDCHF is available to trade as USDCHF but in some brokers, they add some small set of characters at the end - e.g. USDCHFm. Notice that "m" in the end. That is the chart suffix. More information is available in the FAQs section. |
