Quick Start
The fastest path from account registration to the first successful RPC call using a per-terminal auth token.
Five-Step Path
- Register an account and log in to the console.
- Install the DLL and EA into the correct MT4 or MT5 folders.
- Create one
auth_tokenfor this terminal and set an expiry if needed. - Attach the EA to a chart, enable DLL imports, and paste the same
auth_tokeninto the EA settings. - Use the same
auth_tokenin your external app when calling local/rpc.
Minimal Smoke Test
POST /rpc HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:6000
Authorization: Bearer <auth_token>
Content-Type: application/json
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": "account-1",
"method": "get_account_info",
"params": {}
}
