What is Metatrader plugin? I have seen the term in several promotions and articles. What was described in these articles was a species expert with inserts of libraries in other languages (not MQL4 / 5).

A plugin is usually referred to as a c++ extension that runs in the MT server it self.
Just like the meta manager api, that allows you to extend the operations of the platform as a manager, an MT plugin allows you to extent the actual trading logic of the server. Of course it goes without saying you would need access to the actual server to deploy one.

So, it means you should be a broker to develop MT plugins? – user1749081 Feb 19 '13 at 11:09

1Yep, pretty much. Or you can be a developer selling plugins to brokers, however, you would still need to get your hands on a server somehow at least for testing. – Dmitry Feb 19 '13 at 15:24

You can do trading with both. The server being more perfomat. Also depends on your definition of trading in this scenario – Dmitry Nov 04 '17 at 16:55
