MetaStats forex metrics API

Note: The Java SDK was updated long time ago and lacks important bugfixes and updates. We plan to update the java SDK soon. Meanwhile we recommend you to use javascript or python SDK instead.

MetaStats is a fast, cost-efficient, easy to use and standards-driven cloud forex trading statistics API supporting both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms designed to boost forex application development process.

Using MetaStats API you can develop applications similar to Myfxbook or MetriX extremely fast, saving time you otherwise spend for coding, optimizing and testing your own trading metrics calculation engine, since we already did it for you.

MetaStats API is a member of MetaApi project (https://metaapi.cloud), a powerful cloud forex trading API which supports both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms.

Running examples

In order to run the examples, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that you have installed Maven and its command mvn is accessible.
2. Navigate to the root folder of the example project (where its pom.xml is located).
3. Build the project with mvn package.
4. Run mvn exec:java@ExampleClassName where ExampleClassName is the example to execute, e.g. mvn exec:java@MetaStatsExample.

Example parameters such as token or account id can be passed via environment variables, or set directly in the example source code. In the last case you need to rebuild the example with mvn package.
