Dashboard

MT5 Accounts

How the Accounts page works now, including the Local MT5 Login flow.

Local MT5 Login

The top card on the Accounts page is now the most important one for onboarding. It lets the user enter the MT5 login number, password, and server directly from the dashboard.

→This is the supported way to connect the bot to MT5.

→The credentials are validated through the bot API before saving.

→They are stored locally on the machine running the bot, not in the shared repo config file.

Note: If the Local MT5 Login form fails with a bot API error, the local bot runner is usually offline. Start the Windows package first, then try again.

Account Cards and Sync

Below the Local MT5 Login card, the page can also list MT5 accounts for reference and syncing. These cards help users see broker name, account number, balance, and equity that have been synced from the bot.

The Sync button refreshes account data from MT5 through the local bot API. This is useful when users want to confirm the dashboard is reading the same live account information that MT5 shows.

What This Page Stores

The dashboard can keep account labels and synced performance data, but the actual MT5 trading password is not meant to live in the dashboard database. The bot stores runtime broker secrets locally on the bot machine.

Best Way to Use It

First setup

Use Local MT5 Login to connect the bot quickly without editing files.

After changing broker password

Return to this page and save the new password here.

When checking live status

Use Sync if you want to refresh account values from MT5 on demand.

Tip: For most users, Setup and Accounts work together: Setup is the guided first-run path, and Accounts is the place to review or change the saved MT5 login later.
