print("MetaTrader5 package version: ",mt5.__version__)
 
# establish connection to the MetaTrader 5 terminal
if not mt5.initialize():
    print("initialize() failed, error code =",mt5.last_error())
    quit()
 
# attempt to enable the display of the GBPUSD in MarketWatch
selected=mt5.symbol_select("GBPUSD",True)
if not selected:
    print("Failed to select GBPUSD")
    mt5.shutdown()
    quit()
 
# display the last GBPUSD tick
lasttick=mt5.symbol_info_tick("GBPUSD")
print(lasttick)
# display tick field values in the form of a list
print("Show symbol_info_tick(\"GBPUSD\")._asdict():")
symbol_info_tick_dict = mt5.symbol_info_tick("GBPUSD")._asdict()
for prop in symbol_info_tick_dict:
    print("  {}={}".format(prop, symbol_info_tick_dict[prop]))
 
# shut down connection to the MetaTrader 5 terminal
mt5.shutdown()
