Put Claude and ChatGPT to Work on Your MT5 Account
MetaTrader 5 connects to AI assistants through its native MCP server, so you can ask about your own account in plain English. Where you keep going wrong, what your numbers actually say, whether the setup in front of you fits your rules, and what any of it is likely to cost.
What is my exposure on XAUUSD right now?
You are long 0.40 lots of XAUUSD.That is about $86,000 notional,roughly a fifth of your used margin.
MT5 MCP Reads Your Account, Not a Textbook
An assistant on its own is guessing about your trading. Connected to the terminal it can see four things, and every answer it gives you is built out of them.
The Chart In Front Of You
Prices as your terminal has them, on whichever timeframe you trade, plus context on a move that has just happened. An assistant working on its own is recalling last year; this one is reading this morning.
Everything You Have Open
Your positions, what you are exposed to and what it is costing you in margin, read straight off the account the terminal is signed in to.
Every Trade You Have Closed
Your whole history, available all at once rather than one row at a time, which is what turns an assistant into an automated trading journal. This is the one that changes what you can ask: what you actually did, rather than what you remember doing.
Your Whole Watchlist
Market Watch swept for breakouts and trends, with the instruments themselves there to be asked about without opening another tab.
Things Worth Asking an AI Trading Assistant
No dashboard to learn and nothing to configure. You type the question in the same words you would use to ask a mate who happened to have your account open.
Build a Strategy
Turn my London open breakout idea into rules I can actually follow.
An entry, a stop, a target and the days to sit it out, written plainly and checked against what the pair has been doing rather than against a textbook.
Find Where You Are Leaking Money
Go through my closed trades and tell me what is costing me most.
The pattern underneath the losses: the hour, the symbol, the size, or the trade you take straight after a red one.
Forecast the Account
At my current win rate and average size, what do the next hundred trades look like?
Your own numbers run forward, with the drawdown you would have to sit through on the way, which is usually the part nobody models.
Find Your Best Hours
Which sessions do I actually make money in?
Your history split by hour and by day, so the answer is your trading and not a rule of thumb you read somewhere.
Size the Trade
If I am risking one per cent on this setup, what lot size is that?
The arithmetic done against your real balance and the price on your screen, not a generic calculator that has never seen your account.
Learn From the Last One
Talk me through what went wrong on the trade I closed this morning.
The trade you took set beside what the chart was doing at the time, explained in language nobody needs a glossary for.
*An assistant answers questions about your account. It is not advice, and a projection built from trades you have already taken is not a promise about the ones you have not.
Setting It Up Takes About Five Minutes
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables applications to communicate with AI agents. MetaTrader 5 speaks it, which is why this is three steps rather than a project.
Update MetaTrader 5
Open Help, then Check for Updates. Native MCP support ships with the current terminal, so there is nothing to install, nothing to code and nothing to buy from us.
Sign in, or bring your own
Signing in with an MQL5.community account applies the free MQL5 Lite plan and sets the defaults for you. If you already pay for Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini, the terminal settings take your own key instead.
Start asking
MetaQuotes name OpenAI Codex and Claude Code, and any other MCP compatible assistant connects the same way. From there it is a conversation, and the questions on this page are a reasonable place to open it.
AI operations are governed by configurable security settings. You can explicitly allow or prohibit AI-initiated trading operations, or require manual confirmation.
*The setting is yours, and it sits in the terminal rather than with us. An assistant that can read your account and one that can trade it are two different arrangements; decide which one you have opened before you connect it, not after.
Create Your Account
Account opening happens in the client area, and takes a couple of minutes.
*Opening an account finishes in the secure client area, where these details carry across. Already registered? Sign in, or talk to us first.
