MetaTrader 5 account, quotes and order data

MetaQuotes Ltd · Banking

MetaTrader 5 — Forex, Stocks is the Android trading terminal from Cyprus-based MetaQuotes Ltd. Traders connect to a broker access point, watch a quotes list, open charts with indicators, send market and pending orders from the Trade and one-click toolbars, manage positions, scroll deals and account history, read broker mail and news, and fund or cash out through the in-app payments wallet list. Demo and real logins are allocated from the Open Account flow, with OTP, passkeys and investor passwords on the Accounts screens; MQL5 community sign-in (including Google) unlocks Channels chat. The client is used worldwide by retail forex, CFD and exchange traders and by brokers who white-label the same terminal, sitting alongside MetaTrader 4, cTrader and TradingView as a multi-asset mobile desk.

TradeInfoRecord snapshots pin balance, equity, marginFree and marginLevel for the connected login, while TradePosition rows carry symbol, volume, priceOpen, sl, tp and floating profit. SelectedRecord ticks stream bid, ask and spread on the watchlist; TradeOrder and TradeDeal history add fill state, commission and swap. Payment and Wallet objects expose deposit limits (limitDepositMin, userAmount, walletCurrency) used on the Payments screens.

PMS stacks reconcile live margin against overnight statements, quote engines fan bid/ask into alerts, and finance ops match wallet deposits to deal tickets. openData Studio turns that account, quote and payment surface into callable open data.

Where teams use this data

Margin desk overnight recon
A brokerage PMS pulls TradeInfoRecord balance, equity, marginFree and marginLevel per login and diffs them against the back-office ledger so a margin-call flag (hasMarginCall) is raised before the next session.
Quote-alert fan-out
A watchlist bot reads SelectedRecord bid, ask, spread and priceChangeInPips for EURUSD and other symbols and fires alerts when spread or pip change crosses a desk threshold.
Deposit-to-deal matching
Finance ops join Payment recordId / userAmount / state=DONE with DealsInfoRecord deposit and TradeDeal tickets so wallet card deposits land on the same login that shows them in HistoryFragment.
Live blotter for open risk
A risk blotter streams TradePosition symbol, volume, priceOpen, sl, tp and profit next to TradeOrder state and type so the desk sees working limits and floating P&L in one grid.

Frequently asked questions

What account fields does MetaTrader 5 expose after login?

TradeInfoRecord filled by the account snapshot call carries balance, equity, margin, marginFree, marginLevel, profit, credit, commission, assets, liabilities and hasMarginCall for the connected login.

Can I read live quotes and open positions, not just balances?

Yes. The watchlist quotes call returns SelectedRecord bid, ask, high, low and spread; the positions call lists TradePosition symbol, volume, priceOpen, sl, tp and profit; the working-orders call lists TradeOrder tickets.

How does MQL5 community sign-in work in the app?

The client sends a signed community identity request with mid, ggtok, tok, sign and rnd, then parses the nested user object (user_login, user_email, metaquotes_id, chat_token); the status call also returns geo.country.

Are deposits and withdrawals in the same surface?

PaymentBase.getWallets lists Wallet methods with per-currency limitDepositMin/Max; deposit and withdraw return a Payment with recordId, userAmount, state (INIT through DONE) and wallet or bankAccount details.
