2.4Server sync with the investor password (MT5)
What is it? Server sync reads your MT5 trades automatically – read-only, with the investor password.
What you get
- Trades arrive without your own device
- No master password, no trading functions
- Regular syncs, plus “Sync now” when needed
How it works
- Choose “Server sync” in the assistant (for firms that allow it; with “unclear” after confirming).
- Enter login, server and investor password from your firm's credentials area.
- Confirm the consent (investor password only, your firm allows it, you are responsible). If your firm is “unclear”, tick a second checkbox.
- Save; the first sync starts.
Good to know
- Don't change your password. Some prop firms treat a password change as a rule violation.
- If sync detects a password with trading rights, it disconnects immediately and deletes the password.
- If your firm's traffic light changes to “unclear”, the connection pauses with “Confirmation needed”. “Confirm and continue” resumes it; with “not allowed” it stays stopped.
- Sync runs at most every 15 minutes; “Sync now” at most every 2 minutes.
FAQ
- Where do I find the investor password?
- In your prop firm's credentials or account area, separate from the master password.
- What happens when I disconnect?
- The password is deleted immediately; optionally the synced trades too.
