Make the bot connect to MetaTrader5 on Linux without manual setup or
launching extra programs.
- Add mt5linux rpyc bridge: MT5 terminal + Windows Python run under Wine,
Linux client talks to it over a socket
- scripts/mt5_bridge.sh: robust, idempotent launcher (up/down/status/restart/
login-gui/install-service) with .env loading, port health-checks and a
systemd --user unit for auto-start on login
- src/mt5_connector.py: auto-detect bridge backend (lazy, non-blocking import);
auto-start the bridge via mt5_bridge.sh when the port is down so the bot
self-connects; attach-mode initialize() first, then explicit login
- Use configured SYMBOL instead of hardcoded XAUUSD in connector + news_agent
(XM names spot gold 'GOLD')
- scripts/test_mt5_bridge.py: connectivity smoke test
- docs/MT5-ARCH-LINUX-SETUP.md: full setup, root-cause notes, troubleshooting
