Step 2: Write Your Trading Code

Create your main application file and paste the following snippet:

import (
    "context"
    "fmt"
    "time"
    mt "github.com/MetaRPC/GoMT4"
)

// Session ID generation on Connect and authentication are handled automatically
client, err := mt.NewMT4AccountWithApiKey(user, password, grpcServer, apiKey)
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second)
defer cancel()
err = client.ConnectByServerName(ctx, serverName, "EURUSD")
summary, err := client.AccountSummary(ctx)
fmt.Printf("Balance: %.2f, Equity: %.2f\n", summary.Balance, summary.Equity)

Step 3: Run the Program

Run your application:

# Verify connection output
# Balance: 10000.00, Equity: 10000.00
