## What it is
PyTrader is a Python API connector that links Python trading scripts with MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 via a drag-and-drop Expert Advisor acting as a WebSocket server. It lets Python clients log in, retrieve account and market data, and manage orders for live or paper trading.

## Use cases
- connect python to metatrader 5
- place forex orders from python
- download bar data from mt5 for strategies
- build a live price feed from metatrader
- automate trading on mt4 with python
- manage open orders programmatically in mt5

## When to choose
- you want a quick drag-and-drop bridge between Python and MT4/MT5
- you need WebSocket-based order and market-data access from Python
- you want to run strategies on Linux via Wine/Docker

## When to avoid
- you need a fully open-source solution - the full version is paid and the repo has no license
- you trade assets outside the limited demo instrument list without buying the full version
- you need a connector for platforms other than MetaTrader
