Connection Editor
Learn how to connect your webhooks with your MT5 accounts using intermediate mappings.
What is the Connection Editor?
The Connection Editor is a visual tool that allows you to create connections between webhooks and MT5 accounts through mappings. A mapping acts as an intermediary that defines which symbol will be used in each account.
Create a Connection
Use Cases
Connect a single webhook to multiple accounts. Each mapping can use a different symbol, allowing you to trade the same strategy on different brokers or instruments.
If your broker uses "EURUSD.r" instead of "EURUSD", the mapping allows you to configure the correct symbol for each account, automatically translating signals.
You can disconnect a mapping from an account without affecting the webhook or other mappings. This allows you to easily reorganize your connections.
In each mapping you can set a lot multiplier (whole numbers only). The lot size received from the webhook is multiplied by this value before being sent to MT5: 1 = same size, 2 = double, 3 = triple, etc. Useful when you want to scale the same strategy differently per account (e.g. one account with 0.01 lots and another with 0.02 by using multiplier 2).
In each mapping you can enable the option "Adjust lots to MT5". When active, the lot size sent to MT5 is limited to the number of decimals each symbol accepts (for example, 2 decimals for minimum lots of 0.01, or 0 decimals for whole lots). Extra decimals are simply removed, not rounded. Useful when your strategy or broker sends more decimals than MT5 accepts.
Rules and Validations
- A symbol mapping can only connect to one account
- The symbol can only be configured if the mapping is connected to an account
- The symbol must exist in the account's list of tradeable symbols
- You cannot save connections if there are mappings connected to accounts without a configured symbol
