Tools to calculate dividends

Table of Contents

Installation #

First of all, ensure your server has Visual Studio 2015 redistributable installed https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=48145

Package could be downloaded from here: http://nuget.cplugin.com/feeds/apps/CPlugin.Dividender/versions

In MySQL you need to have table like this:

table example #

CREATE TABLE `dividends` (
`name` VARCHAR(12) NULL DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'symbol name',
`amount` DECIMAL(10,6) NULL DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'amount',
`ddate_expiration` DATE NULL DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'expiration date'
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

Program needs these files to be in applications' folder:

  • mt4manapi.dll
  • libmysql.dll
  • config.cfg [to run app with default parameters]

Copy config.cfg.example to config.cfg to use it as default settings file.

When application starts it:

  1. read data from MySQL DB
  2. read open trades from MT4
  3. calculates those dividends which ddate_expiration equals current date
  4. make trade transactions in MT4

Program maintain storage for successfully credited dividends, to avoid duplicated trade transactions after multiple executions during single day.

Run #

By default when you call application it run in read-only mode to avoid mistakes. To enable write-mode use `-w` command line switch.

Without valid license program only calculates dividends, actual trade transaction in MT4 will not happen.
