LIVE MT5 ACCOUNT MONITOR

MT5 live account monitoring

Track Balance, Equity, open positions and completed deals in one browser-based view. A collector connects to the MT5 terminal with an investor password and sends refreshed account snapshots to Backtest Lens approximately every five minutes.

PURPOSE-BUILT ANALYSIS

Continue the evaluation after the backtest ends

A backtest stops at its final historical trade. Live monitoring continues the evidence trail by recording Balance and Equity, current floating exposure, open positions and newly completed deals.

01

Balance and Equity

Compare realized account balance with current equity and observe floating pressure as it develops.

02

Positions and deals

Review open positions, completed deals, symbols, directions and Magic numbers.

03

Public monitoring page

Share a separate read-only page without exposing the private library or account connection settings.

PUBLIC LIVE EXAMPLE

MultiFXbot MT5: evidence that continues after the backtest

The public MultiFXbot MT5 page demonstrates the monitoring format with current Balance and Equity, margin information, open positions, completed deals and a timeline of account snapshots. Values refresh as the collector runs, so this landing page deliberately avoids freezing a balance figure that would quickly become stale. Open the monitor to inspect its current state.

How the connection works

The collector runs on a VPS or Windows machine with MetaTrader 5 and the MetaTrader5 Python package available. Backtest Lens releases only monitoring jobs that are due. The collector connects through the account login, broker server and investor password, reads the account snapshot and sends it back to the service.

  • Add the account once inside the private workspace.
  • By default, the same account becomes due approximately every five minutes.
  • The MT5 terminal and collector must stay available for new snapshots.
02

What live monitoring can reveal

Balance represents completed account activity, while Equity includes floating profit and loss from open positions. The gap between them exposes pressure that a closed-deal statement cannot show. Filters by symbol, Magic number and direction help separate strategies sharing one account, while completed-deal history extends the evaluation beyond the current positions.

  • Inspect current positions and floating profit or loss.
  • Compare Balance and Equity through time.
  • Review deals, instruments, directions and Magic numbers.
03

Deal history and Equity history start differently

On the first successful collection, closed deals can be backfilled for the period returned by the broker server. Historical floating Equity cannot be reconstructed: Equity snapshots begin only when monitoring is connected. Account age and observed Equity history are therefore different measurements and should never be presented as the same coverage period.

  • Backfill applies to completed deals, not old Equity snapshots.
  • The first monitoring days provide limited floating-risk history.
  • An offline collector creates a gap until the next successful snapshot.
SCOPE AND LIMITS

What this analysis does not prove

  • Monitoring is read-only and does not replace the MT5 terminal or broker account controls.
  • An approximately five-minute interval is not intended for tick-level supervision or trade execution.
  • A public account history is research evidence and does not guarantee future EA performance.

FAQ

Questions before you upload

How often does the monitor update?

By default, the same account becomes due for collection approximately every five minutes while the collector and MT5 terminal are available.

Does it need the trading password?

No. The connection uses an investor password intended for read-only account access.

Can historical Equity be reconstructed?

No. Closed-deal history can be backfilled for the period available from the broker, but floating Equity snapshots begin only after monitoring is connected.

What does a public monitor expose?

The public page shows selected monitoring analytics but does not expose the investor password or private account settings.
