Hi folks,

I have a tool today that I hope it's a useful for you as it for me!

MQL4 enable us easily to write to csv (Comma-separated values) files. But it's hard to write script that handling reading from csv files and it's hard to make it a fast operation (Just imagine you have a csv file with 100000 record).
That's why I've got a lot of requests asking my to write a csv reader dll in c++

Our dll today have 4 functions:

int gGetRecordsCount(string file_path)

Use this function to get how many records in the csv file. You have to pass to it the path and the file name of the csv file.

Hi folks,

I've got a lot of requests from my friends the members of forex-tsd forum asking me to make a better version of MetaTrader FTP sending.

I hope you find this tool useful and better than the SendFTP() MQL4 function!

Our dll today have 5 functions:

string gConnect(string FTPServer,string user,string pass,string path="ROOT");

You have to use this function to connect to the FTP server before uploading or downloading files to it.
The first parameter is the FTP server, the second parameter is the User name, the third parameter is the Password and the fourth parameter is the directory path on the ftp server you want to upload or download from.

Hi folks,

Welcome to a new MetaTrader tool! I hope you find it useful.

I was in my office yesterday till the 3 AM waiting a my expert advisor to open a position. And when my wife phoned me to return home I forced to Shut Down my computer.

When I returned to the office today morning and gave the chart a look I cried the trend I lost and the profit I didn't get.

No more wife calls any more , not more Shut Downs before the trends.

Now you can use this dll to Shut Down the computer at the event you want.
