Broker and platform connectivity.
AlphaSync is designed to work with the trading account you already have. This page explains how, and exactly where our role ends and your broker's begins.
Compatibility status
We distinguish technical compatibility from commercial partnership. The first is an engineering fact to be verified; the second requires a written agreement.
| MetaTrader 4 | Widely used retail Forex platform. AlphaSync products are being developed to operate with MT4 terminals. Compatibility in verification |
|---|---|
| MetaTrader 5 | Multi-asset successor platform. AlphaSync products are being developed to operate with MT5 terminals. Compatibility in verification |
| Exness | A broker offering MT4 and MT5 accounts. We intend AlphaSync products to be technically compatible with Exness MetaTrader accounts. AlphaSync Global is not partnered with, endorsed by or authorised by Exness. Compatibility in verification |
| Other MetaTrader brokers | Because integration is at platform level, other brokers offering standard MT4 or MT5 accounts may be compatible. Each is subject to its own verification. |
Broker connectivity
How AlphaSync reaches your broker.
- Platform-level integration
- AlphaSync communicates with your MetaTrader terminal, which holds the session with your broker.
- No custody
- Deposits, withdrawals and balances remain entirely between you and your broker.
Account integration
Linking a trading account.
- You authorise it
- A connection exists only when you set it up, and you can remove it at any time.
- Credentials handled securely
- Account credentials are never requested by, or stored in, this website. Any credentials the platform requires are handled by authenticated backend services.
Trading execution
Who does what when an order is placed.
- AlphaSync sends instructions
- The strategy and risk core decides and passes an order to the platform.
- Your broker executes
- Fill price, slippage and rejection are determined by your broker and market conditions.
Market data connectivity
Where prices come from.
- Your broker's feed
- Strategies act on the prices your broker quotes to your account, because those are the prices you can trade.
- Feed validation
- Stale or abnormal quotes are detected and can pause trading.
API integration
Beyond MetaTrader.
- Broker APIs
- Where a broker offers a suitable trading API, a dedicated adapter can be developed.
- Custom integrations
- Bespoke connectivity is available through Custom Algorithmic Solutions.
Platform compatibility
What can affect it.
- Account types
- Execution mode, minimum lot size and stop levels vary by account and can limit a strategy.
- Broker rules
- Some brokers restrict scalping, hedging or automated trading. Check your broker's terms.
Connectivity monitoring
Watching the link.
- Session state
- Disconnections detected and reported.
- Latency
- Round-trip time measured; strategies can be paused when it degrades.
Choosing and using a broker
Decisions that remain yours.
AlphaSync Global does not recommend brokers and receives no instruction from them about how our software behaves. Before trading, confirm that your broker is appropriately regulated for your country of residence, and read its terms on automated trading.
