LESSON 02 · PLATFORM SETUP

Connect MT5 / TradeLocker to Your Broker

~8 MIN READ · FREE

Your broker holds the money; the platform is where you actually click buy and sell. Here you link the two so your account shows a live balance.

1. 1

   Install the platform

   Download MetaTrader 5 from your broker's own download link, or open TradeLocker in the browser. Use one platform on desktop and the same one on your phone.

2. 2

   Find your login details

   Your broker's dashboard shows a login number, a password, and a server name. The server name is the part people miss — copy it exactly.

3. 3

   Log into the live account

   Choose 'Existing account', paste the login and server, then confirm the balance matches your deposit. If it says 'Invalid account', the server is wrong.

4. 4

   Set up your chart

   Add the pairs you will trade, switch to candlesticks, and save a template so every new chart opens looking the same.
