How to monitor MT5 without VPS, MT5 installs, or expert advisors
Managing multiple prop firm challenges and personal accounts simultaneously usually requires a complicated setup. Traders often struggle with juggling multiple MetaTrader terminals, renting expensive virtual private servers, and installing custom expert advisors just to keep track of their floating P&L and drawdown limits across different brokers.
DeckLive offers a simpler way to monitor MT5 without VPS requirements or software installations. By connecting securely via your broker investor password, our cloud-hosted dashboard brings all your MT4 and MT5 accounts onto one screen, giving you real-time updates every few seconds without touching your trading execution.
Why not just use your prop firm's own dashboard?
- All your accounts on one screen, not one at a time
- Live updates every few seconds, not a manual refresh
- Telegram and email alerts before you breach a limit
- Each prop firm's rules (Daily DD, Max DD, Profit Target) pre-configured per account
Why you no longer need a VPS to track your funded accounts
Traditional multi-account monitoring forces traders to rent a virtual private server, keep multiple terminal instances open 24/7, and manage third-party Expert Advisors. This adds unnecessary monthly costs and potential points of failure if a terminal freezes or a connection drops.
DeckLive eliminates this infrastructure overhead entirely. Because the platform is cloud-hosted, you can monitor MT5 without VPS setups, terminal maintenance, or local software running on your computer. Your dashboard remains accessible from any browser, anytime.
Connect securely using your read-only investor password
Security and account safety are top priorities when managing funded accounts and personal capital. DeckLive connects exclusively through your broker investor password, which provides read-only access to your trading data.
This means the platform can read your balance, equity, floating P&L, and drawdown metrics without ever having the ability to place, modify, or close trades. Your broker accounts remain entirely secure while you gain complete visibility across your portfolio.
Real-time WebSocket updates for balance, equity, and drawdown
When trading prop firm challenges or live funded accounts, delayed data can lead to missed risk thresholds. Standard platforms often require manual refreshes or update too slowly to be useful during volatile market conditions.
DeckLive streams your financial metrics using WebSockets, updating your balance, equity, floating profit and loss, and drawdown every few seconds. Every connected MT4 and MT5 account is displayed clearly on a single, unified screen for instant oversight.
Automated alerts for Daily DD, Max DD, and profit targets
Breaching a prop firm rule by a fraction of a percent can instantly fail a challenge or violate a funded account agreement. Keeping a constant eye on Daily Drawdown and Max Drawdown limits is exhausting and prone to human error.
DeckLive pre-loads prop firm rules—including Daily DD, Max/Total DD, and Profit Targets—for each account. The system actively monitors your thresholds and sends Telegram and email alerts before a limit is breached, helping you protect your status.
Independent multi-account dashboard for MT4 and MT5
Traders often work with multiple brokers and prop firms simultaneously, making it difficult to maintain a centralized overview of their trading operations. Logging into different client portals or switching between terminal profiles wastes valuable time.
DeckLive is an independent dashboard designed for traders using both prop firm and personal broker accounts on MT4 and MT5. Available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, the platform supports up to 3 accounts during the 7-day free trial so you can test the workflow immediately.
