Overview
RegimeTrader Documentation
How the dashboard, Windows bot, and MT5 setup work in the current app.
RegimeTrader has three moving parts that work together: the web dashboard, the Windows bot package, and your MetaTrader 5 terminal. The dashboard is where you manage your account, settings, and bot status. The bot package runs on the same Windows machine as MT5. MT5 is the terminal that actually connects to your broker and executes trades.
The Three Parts
Dashboard
Your web control panel for billing, bot control, setup, accounts, analytics, and settings.
Windows Bot Runner
The local app package you start on Windows. It runs the bot loop and the bot API bridge.
MetaTrader 5
Your broker terminal. The bot reads market data from MT5 and sends orders through it.
The Current User Flow
Create your dashboard account
Sign in or register, then open Billing to activate a plan or trial.
Get your license key
Your key appears on Billing and Download after activation.
Download the Windows package
Download the bot package from the dashboard and unzip it on the Windows machine that runs MT5.
Start the bot runner
Run start-bot.bat. This starts the bot API and the trading bot loop.
Enter the license if prompted
On first run the bot may ask for your license key in the console window.
Connect your MT5 account from the dashboard
Use the Setup Wizard or Accounts page to save your MT5 login, password, and server.
Control and monitor everything from the dashboard
Use Bot, Accounts, Settings, and Dashboard pages to run the bot and review account activity.
What Users Need
Note: Users no longer need to open code files, set MT5 credentials in environment variables, or editsettings.jsonjust to connect their broker account. The supported flow is the dashboard Setup Wizard or the Local MT5 Login form on the Accounts page.
Tip: If the Setup Wizard shows a credentials API error, the bot runner is usually not started yet. Start the Windows package first, then refresh the dashboard and try again.
