MT5 EQUITY MONITORING

MT5 live account monitoring

Use MT5 equity monitoring to track Balance, Equity, floating profit and loss, open positions and completed deals in one browser-based view. A collector connects to MetaTrader 5 with an investor password and records refreshed account snapshots approximately every five minutes.

PURPOSE-BUILT ANALYSIS

See floating risk that Balance-only tracking misses

Balance changes after deals close; Equity also reflects the current value of open positions. The snapshot timeline, peak-to-trough Equity drawdown and period filters show how live account risk developed instead of reducing monitoring to a current balance figure.

01

Equity curve and drawdown

Track live Equity against Balance, measure peak-to-trough Equity drawdown and inspect the observed recovery period.

02

Periods, positions and deals

Review all history, 7, 30 or 90 days, or a custom range, then filter by symbol, direction and Magic number.

03

Public equity monitoring

Share a separate read-only monitoring page without exposing the investor password, private library or account settings.

PUBLIC EQUITY MONITOR

MultiFXbot MT5: Balance and Equity evidence after the backtest

The public MultiFXbot MT5 page demonstrates MT5 equity monitoring 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 Equity curve and observed drawdown.

01

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 MT5 equity monitoring records

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. Every successful collector snapshot extends the Balance and Equity timeline; deals and positions explain what was happening around those observations.

  • Compare Balance and Equity through time.
  • Inspect current positions and floating profit or loss.
  • Review all history, 7, 30 or 90 days, or choose a custom date range.
03

How live Equity drawdown is measured

Backtest Lens measures Equity drawdown from the collector snapshots available inside the selected period. Each Equity value is compared with the previous observed peak, producing an underwater curve, maximum percentage and amount, and the corresponding drawdown period. This is observed account risk rather than an estimate reconstructed only from closed deals.

  • The calculation uses recorded Equity snapshots, not the Balance curve.
  • A shorter period can have a different starting peak and maximum drawdown.
  • Symbol and Magic filters explain deals and positions, while account Equity remains an account-level snapshot.
04

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, broker account controls or execution alerts.
  • An approximately five-minute interval is not intended for tick-level supervision; fast intraperiod Equity extremes can occur between snapshots.
  • Historical floating Equity before the collector connection cannot be reconstructed from closed deals.
  • A public account history is research evidence and does not guarantee future EA performance.

FAQ

Questions before you upload

What is MT5 equity monitoring?

It is continued observation of an MT5 account using Balance and Equity snapshots. Unlike Balance-only tracking, it includes floating profit and loss from open positions.

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.
