📖 Instructions: How to Follow Your Auto-Trading Account in Real Time

Download the MetaTrader 5 app from MetaQuotes Software Corp.

  1. Open the app and tap the “+” icon.
  2. Search for the broker where you opened your account and deposited funds.
  3. Select: Login to an existing account.
  4. Enter:
    • Login: MT5 login number (provided by your broker via email).
    • Password: Investor (read-only) password (provided by ForexTrade via SMS), not your broker’s master password.
    • Server: The name of your trading server (provided by your broker via email).
  5. Check the box Save password so you don’t have to log in every time.
  6. Log in — you should see “Readonly” at the top left once logged in.

Note: “Readonly” means you can follow trading in real time but cannot make changes or open/close positions.

  • Go to the Quotes tab, select your instrument, and tap Chart.
  • Alternatively, open it via the menu at the bottom (symbol: three candlesticks).
  • In the chart window, you can:
    • Add indicators
    • Change timeframes
    • Change chart type

Done! You can now follow open and closed trades in real time.

💰 Account and Lot Size

📊 Why Start Small

  • Risk control – 0.01 lots ≈ ~$0.10 per pip.
  • Drawdown protection – fewer or smaller positions, lower risk.
  • Market safety – buffer against unexpected price moves.
  • Data learning – get familiar with the system first.
  • Scale up later – increase gradually after gaining confidence.

🛡 Global Account Protection

  • Stops new positions if equity reaches the SL Equity Value.
  • Note: This does not guarantee an exact stop level — slippage and spreads may apply.

💡 Tip: Stick to the recommended lot size initially to maximize safety and minimize risk.
