Installation

1. Download and Install Visual Studio 2019 or Visual Studio 2022* on your Windows Server. Choose "ASP.NET and web Development". Download-URL: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/?utm_content=download+vs2019
2. Copy and extract this Files to C:\ or any Folder you want on your Windows Server: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z24kXqLZ6sVJ6pwSZ7_uRb0v2vL1xZJ7/view?usp=sharing
3. Set Windows Firewall to prompt when a new connection is needed. Alternatively, you can type the following in CMD to allow connections on Port 80: netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="HTTP Port 80" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=80 .
4. ** Make sure Port 80 is free. If IIS is installed change IIS Port for Example to 8080. https://youtu.be/2cnX1miEsas
5. Open Command Line (Type Win+R and Enter "cmd").
6. Navigate to the folder with the files by typing cd C:\ (or just D: without cd if the files are on the D: drive). Then, type cd tv2 twice to enter the correct subfolder.
7. Type the follow Command to Run: dotnet run. (If your VPS Machine is slow and this Step takes more than 1 Minute, then disable Windows Defender Antivirus). Maybe press some key to see if its finish. Leave the window open.
8. Check API Endpoint: Test both http://YOUR_SERVER_IP/api/todoItems externally and 127.0.0.1/api/todoItems internally. You should see a JSON value [] . External access is optional.
   
9. Go to MT5 Terminal, open Menu Tools->Options->Expert Advisors->Allow Web Request for listed URL. Type in: http://127.0.0.1 (MT4) or 127.0.0.1 (MT5)
10. Start Expert Advisor, set a secret Password. A Label "Connected" on the Chart, says you that the API is Ready.

Troubleshoot External Access: If Step 8 fails with the URL  http://YOUR_SERVER_IP/api/todoItems , and you need external access for API use or trade copying, install Wireshark on your VPS server to monitor incoming connections on Port 80 (see screenshot). Make sure to access  http://YOUR_SERVER_IP/api/todoItems  from an external computer.

Configure your Alerts in Trading-System. You need to make JSON Request like:

{
  "Value":"{{strategy.order.comment}} tradesymbol=XAUUSD lot=0.03"
  ,"password":"YOUR_PASSWORD"
}

In your Strategy write Comment "long" for Long Position or Comment "short" for Short Position. Write "closelong" to Close Long Position and "closeshort" to close Short Position. The Placeholder will be / must be replaced by the Alert and will look like this:

{
  "Value":"long tradesymbol=XAUUSD lot=0.03"
  ,"password":"YOUR_PASSWORD"
}
