You open MetaTrader 5 each morning and wonder whether every trade from your Expert Advisor is being recorded accurately. Myfxbook MT5 auto update solves that by pulling data directly from your broker without manual uploads.
- Connect your MT5 account once and let auto update run daily
- Verify broker permissions before linking to Myfxbook
- Check sync logs regularly to catch any missed trades
- Use verified track records to evaluate your chosen EA
Why Track Your MT5 Trades Automatically
Your trading day starts with coffee and a quick glance at open positions. Without automatic updates you risk missing entries or exits that affect your overall statistics.
Automatic tracking gives you clean equity curves and drawdown numbers you can trust when deciding whether to keep an EA running.
Preparing Your MetaTrader 5 for Myfxbook
Make sure your broker allows external connections and that you have the correct account number and investor password ready. Test a manual export first so you know the data format works.
Once the terminal is stable, move to the next step of creating the Myfxbook profile.
Connecting Your Account to Myfxbook
Log into your Myfxbook dashboard and select the MT5 auto update option. Paste the account details exactly as they appear inside the terminal.
After the first sync, review the trade list to confirm every order from your DCA INVESTOR BOT or similar tool appears with correct open and close times.
Enabling Auto Update Features
Turn on the daily refresh setting inside Myfxbook so new trades load without you logging in. Set email alerts for any connection drops.
Traders who run multiple EAs from the MQL5 seller page find this step essential for keeping all strategies visible in one place.
Verifying Data Sync and Reports
Open the verified page after 24 hours and compare a few trades against your MT5 history. Any mismatch usually comes from a temporary broker feed delay.
Once numbers match, you can share the public link with potential investors or prop firm reviewers.
Common Issues and Quick Fixes
- Wrong password: reset investor password in MT5 and update Myfxbook
- Missing trades: check that the EA is set to allow DLL imports
- Delayed updates: confirm your VPS maintains constant connection
- Duplicate entries: delete the old manual upload before enabling auto mode
Always keep a small test position running when you first activate auto update so you can watch the process in real time.
