Hi. Need a tool to track ping to the broker in my MT4 during my trading sessions. Can you help me to find it?

:D Do you mean that you want an audio signal? I was asking around on another thread and someone gave me a link that I did not follow up. If that's the ping that you are looking for I'll look it up.

Sorry for my stupid question, but for what are you doing it (ping), sometimes people told about it, but i really don't know for what, can you explaine, may be and I need to do it with my brokers?))):smart:

It is a simple utility to check a network connection and roundtrip time of messages to a host. In Windows, type 'cmd' in the run command (opens console).

Type ping [brokers web addess]

eg/

C:\>ping www.interactivebrokers.com

you can also type the ip address if you know it:

C:\>ping 206.106.137.3


I created a simple batch file to test my brokers connection.

"Phew! I'm getting too old for this ****!" :D
 
If you want to find the IP address of your MT4 broker's quote server I believe it is at offset 0xd8 (216) in the .srv file (which is in the config sub directory).
 
1: tasklist /svc /fi "imagename eq terminal.exe" (This Command gives you the PID which is a Identifier) for example you see a number like "2772" for the first terminal.exe. this would be the value for step 2
2: netstat -anb| find /I "2772" (This shows you the local + the Remote ip. and the Port)

Now you could ping the MT4 server IP.
