sReq	character; requisition sent to MT5.
iPort	int; port used to create socket connection. (default `23456`)
bMsg	bool; if `TRUE` it will print all return messages from MT5. (default `FALSE`)
timeout	int; timeout used in `base::socketConnection()`. (default `60`)

Value

Returns character, it will be entirely dependent of the function of the other side in the mt5R package running in MT5. Error due connection will be returned NULL.
