API return response with login_id (keep this id) of MT4 server connection and some data.

If something goes wrong with API you will get Error. E.x. wrong login

Login to MT4 server via proxy

Some MT4 servers deny more than several connection from one IP.

In this case you should find free SOCKS5 proxy or build yourself.

Find free socks5 proxy is hard task. So we will build ourselves for example.

Now method exist, but proxy doesn’t.
