MT5 ManagerMT5 Manager — Setup and usage guide

From download to viewing the account on your phone

Preparation

  • Windows — macOS and Linux not yet supported
  • MetaTrader 5 installed — should have one clean build, no EA attached, to be the source for cloning.
  • Account number, password and server name of each MT5 account
  • One tradingauto.org account — free, one slot per account

Download and open

Download from the intro page, unzip into a fixed folder — for example D:\MT5Manager. Don't put it in Downloads or Desktop: the tool creates a data folder next to it, clearing Downloads loses your config.

Open it and an app window appears. No typing an address, no remembering a port — Windows assigns the port itself so two runs in parallel don't touch each other.

Seeing nothing the first time is normal. Until you log in to your license, the tool DOES NOT turn on any terminal — by design: turning on a terminal means you have already logged into a real broker, but we don't yet know if you have permission to use the tool.

Log in with your tradingauto.org account

Press button 🔑 License on the header, then click Log in via website.

  1. Default browser opens a permission page, plus an 8-character code.
  2. Log into tradingauto.org as normal.
  3. Compare code on web with code in app — must match.
  4. Click Allow. A few seconds later the app grants permission automatically, no copying needed.
The app never asks for your website password. You only type your password in a real browser with an address bar to verify it. If someone shows a password prompt for tradingauto.org inside the app itself, it is fake.

Cannot open a browser on that machine (e.g. VPS), copy the address shown in the app and open it on your phone. Code lasts 10 minutes.

Add an MT5 account

+ Add account then fill in:

  • Source installation — pick a clean MT5 build. The list includes inactive builds and shows which ones are missing servers.dat.
  • MT5 account number, Server, Password
  • Nickname — for example "main account" to avoid guessing from numbers.

The tool clones a terminal into a separate folder for that account, logs in automatically, turns on AutoTrading and runs hidden. Takes about 30 seconds.

Source installation must have servers.dat. Without that file, the clone gets stuck at "Open an Account" forever and never connects. The list tells you which build is missing — pick a different one. Safest way: open the source build once, log in by hand to the correct server, then clone.

The clone is yours: you can attach EA or build charts in it. The tool does not touch your charts or EA, and never touches any other MT5 terminals you have.

Daily use

Positions tab — by default shows orders of ALL accounts. Click the account name button to see each one separately.

  • Each order line has: ⚙ (break-even / trailing) · SL/TP · Close 1 Part · Close All
  • Clicking the button on the order line itself does NOT ask again — clicking that line means clear intent.
  • Bulk actions must be checked first, and confirmed — one click there reaches many orders.
  • Quick filter box: type any part (symbol, magic, comment) and it matches right away.

Partial close keeps the magic and comment of the rest — so your EA or copy tool keeps its order marks.

SL/TP input by price or by MONEY. Pick money, type how much loss you can take, and the tool calculates the price.

Trailing tightens only, never loosens — if price moves the other way, SL stays still, not moving back.

5

Enable risk guard

Risk Guard tab, set for each account: daily loss, drawdown from peak, or minimum margin level. Then pick the response:

  • Alert only — sends to Telegram, closes nothing
  • Close All — close all this account's positions.
  • Close all then disable — Close done means stop managing too, you must turn it back on by hand.
Activate once and it SETS A LOCKOUT, no stacking. To run again click "Remove lockout". Every activation goes into the log in the Events tab.

Open remote viewing

Three steps, in order:

  1. Set tunnel name — right next to the MT5 Manager header. Type a name (lowercase, numbers, hyphen, 3–31 characters) then click Register. You get: service.tradingauto.org/your-name
  2. Set remote access password — Click 🔒 Password next to the check box. Minimum 8 characters. Should enable 2FA right there too.
  3. Toggle off give access — Green dot next to the toggle means tunnel is open.
Without a password set, the tunnel does NOT open, even if you toggle the switch. By design: no password yet but the tunnel is already up means there is a public address pointing straight at a machine holding real money accounts. The app will say clearly what is missing and open the right place to set it.

Open that address on a phone anywhere — no need to be on the same network, no router port forwarding. The login page only asks for PASSWORD.

Remote page NEVER asks for license key. Your private address is already your identity. Any page asking for the key is fake — close it now.

Telegram alert

Settings → Telegram. You need bot token and chat ID, get them from @BotFather and @userinfobot. Click "Send Test" to make sure it reaches you.

Messages go DIRECTLY from your machine to Telegram, not through any server of ours.

Symptoms Cause and fix
Open app and see no accounts License not yet logged in. The 🔑 key button on the header is red "NOT ACTIVATED". Once you log in, accounts turn themselves back on to their previous state.
Open a remote address, got "Machine is not on" Tunnel exists but machine has not connected. Check three things: app is running · set a remote access password · toggled the "give access" box. Hover over the dot next to the check box, it tells you straight what is missing.
Got "No tunnel here" Tunnel name not registered, or changed to a different name. Check the box next to the header.
Account says "Algo OFF" AutoTrading in the terminal is off, all orders will be blocked. Press Show to bring up the terminal then press Ctrl+E, or disable and re-enable the account so the tool turns it on automatically.
Clone stuck at "Open an Account" window Source installation missing servers.dat. Delete the account, open the original build and log in to the correct server by hand once, then add it back.
Changed MT5 password at the broker, app cannot log in. Click ⚙ Settings on the account row, type a new password. The account turns itself back on immediately — NO need to delete and re-add, so you keep your clone and any EA built in it.
Alert: "This license key is already logged in on another machine" One run on one machine at one time. The app shows the other machine's name and IP. Log in on a new machine and the old one stops managing — the app there stays open showing you a notice.
Remote access blocked by IP Log in wrong many times and your IP gets blocked for 30 minutes. Sit in front of the machine and you never get blocked — go to Settings → Block IP, click Unblock. Should add your IP to the whitelist.
Lost a phone with 2FA set up Sit in front of the machine that runs the app, click 🔒 Password → Turn off 2FA. Local access is never asked for a code, so you don't need recovery codes.
Copying orders to a different broker does not match symbols The tool strips suffixes and finds names again (e.g. BTCUSD# to BTCUSD, GOLD.i# to XAUUSD+). If still not right, use the "Check Symbol" button in the order form to see the broker's real symbol name.

Three Things to Remember

  • Machine off means you stop managing. Risk guard and order copying also stop. If you need continuous operation, put it on a VPS.
  • Close the app and any terminals it started also close. Any MT5 terminal you open yourself is never touched.
  • The tool helps manage, it does not predict markets. No feature guarantees profit, and every trading decision is yours.
