Connecting your MT5 account

You connect a MetaTrader 5 account by giving RobotCopier its login, password and broker server — the same three details your MT5 terminal uses.

Steps

1. Go to Accounts → Add account on your dashboard.
2. Enter the MT5 login (account number), the password, and the server name exactly as your broker lists it (e.g. MyBroker-Live or MyBroker-Demo).
3. Save. The account first shows Connecting while RobotCopier logs in and reads your symbols and balance, then switches to Connected.

Tips

• Use the investor (read-only) password for a master you only want to read from, or the main password for an account that needs to place trades (any follower).
• Server names are case-sensitive and must match your broker's list exactly — a wrong server is the most common cause of a failed connection.
• Your credentials are encrypted at rest and are never shown again after saving.
