# mt5-rs

A pure Rust library for MetaTrader 5 IPC communication. No Python dependency.

Compatible with Python `MetaTrader5` library API.

## Features

- Pure Rust implementation, no Python or C++ dependency
- Windows named pipe IPC communication with MT5 terminal
- Full compatibility with Python `MetaTrader5` library (30/32 functions)
- Support MT5 Build 5836+

## Quick Start

```rust
use mt5_rs::{Mt5Client, discover_mt5_pipe};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Auto-discover MT5 pipe
    let pipe_name = discover_mt5_pipe();
    
    // Initialize client
    let mut client = Mt5Client::new();
    client.initialize(Some(&pipe_name))?;
    
    // Get account info
    let account = client.account_info()?;
    println!("Balance: {}", account.balance);
    println!("Equity: {}", account.equity);
    println!("Margin Free: {}", account.margin_free);
    
    Ok(())
}
```

| `order_calc_margin(action, symbol, volume, price)` | Calculate required margin (local calculation) |
| `order_calc_profit(action, symbol, volume, price_open, price_close)` | Calculate expected profit (local calculation) |

### Not Implemented

| Function | Status |
|----------|--------|
| `order_check(request)` | TODO - Check trade request validity |
| `order_send(request)` | TODO - Send trade request to MT5 |

## Implementation Notes

### Local Calculation for `order_calc_margin` and `order_calc_profit`

Unlike `go-mt5` which sends commands 202/203 via named pipe, this library uses **local calculation** (same as Python `MetaTrader5` library):

- `order_calc_margin`: `margin = volume × price × margin_initial / 4`
- `order_calc_profit`: `profit = volume × (price_close - price_open) × trade_contract_size`

This approach avoids the "pipe closed" error that occurs with MT5 Build 5836+ when using IPC for these commands.

## Requirements

- Rust 2021 edition
- Windows OS (named pipe IPC is Windows-specific)
- MT5 terminal must be running
