and how to check yours

We only call a connection live once it’s running real strategies. If your broker offers MT5, it very likely works — here’s how to check in ten minutes.

What the labels mean.

  • Live

    Running real strategies today. Connect it and it works.

    Live

  • In testing

    Connected and being tested, not yet with real money. We won’t call it live before it is.

    Not live yet

  • Not listed

    Not connected yet. If a broker offers MT5, our MT5 connection usually covers it — the terminal is the same everywhere.

    Try MT5

Same MT5, different broker rules.

MT5 works the same at every broker. What changes is how each broker names its symbols and sets its order rules.

  • Symbols come from your account

    The same pair is EURUSD at one broker and EURUSD.raw at another. You don’t type symbol names: the connector lists what your account actually trades, and you pick from that list.

    From your account

  • Volume step and minimum

    Minimum volume, maximum volume and step size are set per symbol and per broker. An order between two steps is rejected — which is why a size that works on one account can fail on another.

    Per symbol

  • Hedging accounts only

    A netting account merges every order into one position per symbol, so strategies can’t be kept apart. Vectorhelm needs a hedging account. Most MT5 brokers offer both, so check yours first.

    Required

  • Stop and freeze levels

    Brokers set a minimum distance for stops from the current price, and a band where orders can’t be changed. A stop inside either is refused by the broker, not by us.

How to check your own broker in ten minutes.

  • Why there is no compatibility table

    A list of broker names would suggest each one is certified. Brokers change their symbols and rules without notice, so a list would quietly go out of date — and that’s worse than no list.

  • The check

    Run these four checks on a demo account before you connect real money.

    • Open the symbol in your terminal and note its exact name, including any suffix
    • Check the contract specification for volume step, minimum volume and stop level
    • Make sure the account is hedging, not netting — netting accounts aren’t supported
    • For a funded or challenge account, check the firm allows automated trading

Check your broker, then automate it.
