Monitoring a number of crypto exchanges on-line through MQL5 library for Node.js/CCXT – Different – 5 July 2025

CcxtAppServerLib is meant for working with all top-100 crypto exchanges from MQL5 through Node.js and CCXT Utility Server, and it’s evolving step-by-step. Newest beta-version consists of optimized caching of change “markets” (instrument specs and different buying and selling situations), non-blocking studying of websocket messages, and extra.

One introductory instance of utilizing the library – the script CcxtAppSrvShowcase.mq5 – was posted within the weblog earlier.

As one other instance of customized software growth utilizing the library, we offer a script for parallel monitoring of a number of exchanges for chosen kind of information. This function is carried out by subscribing by way of CCXT on Node.js to particular websocket “watches”, akin to watchOrderBook, watchTicker, watchTrades, and many others. For particulars, please, see widespread CCXT documentation and extra superior on CCXT PRO. Because the script is meant to make use of solely public APIs, consumer credentials aren’t concerned right here, however the library helps them in full diploma.

First, embody the headers.

#embody "ccxtjsmtlib.mqh" 
#embody "ccxtutil.mqh"
#embody 

Within the inputs, the Node server setup needs to be completed.

enter group "Connection settings"
enter string NodeServer = "http://127.0.0.1:8124";
enter string NodeAuth = ""; 

To fill in these inputs correctly with most well-liked values, you need to most likely have to output the record of supported exchanges and their markets beforehand. It may be considered in one other instance script CcxtAppSrvShowcase.mq5, supplied with the lib.

enter string Exchanges = "ascendex,bitmart,binance"; 
enter string Ticker = "BCH/USDT";
enter string Watch = "watchOrderBook";
enter uint WatchingDuration = 10; 

Then OnStart occasion handler does its job. Inline feedback clarify the method. The imported capabilities, lessons and strategies from the library are highlighted in yellow.
