Getting Started

How does the platform connect to MT5?

You install our lightweight Tech on your MT5 terminal. The Tech communicates with our servers to fetch your risk rules and enforce them in real-time. Setup takes less than 10 minutes.

What are the system requirements?

SentryFX works with any MT5 terminal running on Windows. You can use it on your local computer or a VPS. The Tech uses minimal resources (less than 50MB RAM) and doesn't affect trading performance.

Do I need a VPS to use SentryFX?

While you can run SentryFX on your local computer, we recommend using a VPS for 24/7 monitoring. We also offer cloud-hosted MT5 sessions where we manage the VPS for you - just provide your broker credentials and we handle the rest.

How do I add my trading account?

After signing up, go to your dashboard and click 'Add Account'. Enter your MT5 account number, password, and select your broker's server. Our system will verify the credentials and connect your account within minutes.

Can I use this with any MT5 broker?

Yes! SentryFX works with any MT5 broker. During account setup, you'll select your broker from our list or enter custom server details. We support all major prop firms and retail brokers.

What is cloud-hosted MT5?

With our cloud hosting feature, we run your MT5 terminal on our secure servers 24/7. You don't need your own VPS or to keep your computer running. Just provide your account credentials and we handle everything automatically.
