Set up your terminal

1. Download the bridge

Version 0.23. Read only: it reports equity, open positions and deals. It cannot place, change or close a trade.

2. Put it in MetaTrader

1. In MetaTrader 5 choose File › Open Data Folder. A folder window opens.
2. Open MQL5, then Experts, and drop PropGuardBridge.ex5 in there.
3. Back in MetaTrader, in the Navigator panel on the left, right-click Expert Advisors and choose Refresh. PropGuardBridge appears in the list.

3. Allow it to reach the server

4. Pair it

1. Drag PropGuardBridge from the Navigator onto any chart of this account.
2. In the Inputs tab paste the code into Pairing code and press OK. Leave the server address as it is.
3. Make sure Algo Trading in the toolbar is on. The EA shows a small hat in the top-right corner of the chart when it is running.

The box at the top of this page turns green within a few seconds, and the app fills in. The bridge saves its own token, so the code is never needed again on this terminal and can be cleared from the inputs.

If it does not connect

1. Open the Toolbox at the bottom of MetaTrader, then the Experts tab. Every problem is printed there as a line starting PropGuardBridge:.
2. WebRequest is not allowed or error 4014: step 3, and check the address is spelt exactly and the Options window was closed with OK.
3. pairing failed: the code has expired or was already used. Make a new one in the app.
4. not paired: the Pairing code input is empty. Remove the EA from the chart and attach it again with the code.
5. Anything else: this small test script, dropped in MQL5 › Scripts and run on a chart, prints whether the terminal can reach the server at all. Send its two lines to support.

1. Get the bridge

A cBot, as source. Read only: it reports equity, open positions and closed trades. It cannot place, change or close a trade, and it needs no special access rights.

2. Build it in cTrader

1. In cTrader open Automate (the robot icon on the left).
2. Press New next to cBots and name it PropGuardBridge.
3. Open the downloaded file in any text editor, select all, copy, and paste it over the generated code in cTrader's editor.
4. Press Build. It should say the build succeeded.

No address list is needed on cTrader: cBots may call the internet without any setting. The bridge is already pointed at https://proptraderguard.fly.dev.

3. Pair it

1. Under the cBot press Add instance and pick any chart. Check the account shown at the top is this account.
2. In the parameters paste the code into Pairing code.
3. Press Play.

The box at the top of this page turns green within a few seconds. The bridge saves its own token, so the code is never needed again on this terminal.

If it does not connect

1. Open the instance's Log tab. Every problem is printed there as a line starting PropGuardBridge:.
2. pairing failed: the code has expired or was already used, or the instance is on a different account than the one in the app.
3. server replied 409: the account was added in the app as a different platform. Add it again as cTrader.
4. The bridge cannot run on cTrader cloud instances, which have no internet access. Run it on this computer.
