Download & Install Library ​

Download the MQL5 Libray and Unzip it

Download File

Open MQL5 -> File -> Open DataFolder as shown below

Navigate to \MQL5\Include folder and paste the Unzipped Tradeboard Folder here as shown below

Now the Installation Process is completed if you open MetaEditor you should see the Folders with Library Files as shown below

The Tradeboard folder contains four files:

  • TradeboardApi.mqh - the six order functions. This is the only file you include.
  • CommonDefs.mqh - the Exchanges, ProductTypes and PriceTypes enums.
  • UrlParser.mqh - splits your Tradeboard URL into host, path and port.
  • WinINet.mqh - the HTTP transport, built on wininet.dll.

Put the folder at MQL5\Include\Tradeboard, so the full path to the main file is MQL5\Include\Tradeboard\TradeboardApi.mqh. That matches the #include <Tradeboard/TradeboardApi.mqh> line used on the next page. If MetaEditor was already open, close and reopen it so it picks up the new include folder.

Because WinINet.mqh imports wininet.dll and kernel32.dll, every EA built on this library needs Allow DLL imports enabled. Set it per EA in the Common tab of the EA properties dialog, or globally under Tools, Options, Expert Advisors.
