MT5 Manager — Setup and usage guideFrom download to viewing the account on your phone
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.
Press button 🔑 License on the header, then click Log in via website.
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 account then fill in:
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.
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.
Positions tab — by default shows orders of ALL accounts. Click the account name button to see each one separately.
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.
Risk Guard tab, set for each account: daily loss, drawdown from peak, or minimum margin level. Then pick the response:
Three steps, in order:
service.tradingauto.org/your-nameOpen 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.
Settings → Telegram. You need bot token and chat ID, get them from @BotFather and @userinfobot. Click "Send Test" to make sure it reaches you.

| 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. |
