Connecting MetaTrader ​

To execute trades automatically, TTMT needs to communicate with your broker account. We use MetaAPI, a professional cloud-based bridge, to ensure a secure and reliable connection without needing your own VPS.

Prerequisites ​

Before starting, ensure you have:

  1. Broker Account Details: You need your Login ID, Password, and Server Name.
  2. Platform Type: Know whether your account is MT4 or MT5.
  3. Active TTMT Subscription: Ensure your plan supports the number of accounts you wish to add.

Step-by-Step Connection Guide ​

1. Navigate to Account Management ​

From the TTMT Dashboard, click on MetaTrader in the sidebar under the Accounts section.

2. Add New Account ​

Click the "+ Add Account" button. A modal will appear asking for your credentials.

3. Enter Credentials ​

Fill in the form precisely as provided by your broker:

  • Account Name: Give it a recognizing name (e.g., "FTMO Challenge", "Personal Live").
  • Login: Your numerical account ID.
  • Password: Your trading password.
    • Note: Do not use the "Investor" password, as it is read-only.
  • Server: Search for your broker's server name (e.g., Eightcap-Real, FTMO-Demo).
  • Platform: Select MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5.

4. Deploy Connection ​

Click Connect.

  • The system will now provision a cloud instance for your account via MetaAPI.
  • Time to Connect: This usually takes 1-3 minutes.
  • Status: Once successful, you will see a "Connected" (Green) status badge.

Demo vs. Live Accounts ​

TTMT works with both Demo and Live accounts.

  • Demo Accounts: Highly recommended for testing new channels or strategies. There is zero financial risk.
  • Live Accounts: Use for real capital only after verifying your setup on a demo account.

Risk Warning:

Automated trading carries risk. We strongly advise running any new strategy on a Demo Account for at least 3-5 days before switching to a Live account.

Troubleshooting ​

"Connection Failed" Error:

  • Double-check your password. It is case-sensitive.
  • Ensure you selected the correct Server. Many brokers have multiple servers (e.g., Server-1, Server-2).
  • Verify your account is not disabled by the broker.

"Read Only" Error:

  • You likely used the Investor Password instead of the Master Password. Please update it in the account settings.

Next Steps ​
