PIPFORGE MT5 bridge

Why a bridge is needed

MetaTrader 5 does not expose a public internet API for retail accounts. The PIPFORGE bridge is an Expert Advisor that runs inside your MT5 terminal. It checks PIPFORGE for pending orders, places them on MT5, and sends the broker ticket ID back.

Installation steps

• Create an MT5 broker connection in PIPFORGE and copy the bridge token.
• Download /mt5-bridge/PipforgeBridgeEA.mq5 from the broker page.
• Open MetaTrader 5, click File → Open Data Folder → MQL5 → Experts, and place the .mq5 file there.
• Open MetaEditor, find PipforgeBridgeEA.mq5, and press Compile.
• In MT5, drag the compiled EA onto a chart of the symbol you want to trade.
• In the EA inputs, paste the bridge token from PIPFORGE.
• Go to MT5 Tools → Options → Expert Advisors and add https://pip.techassembly.io to the allowed URLs for WebRequest.
• Enable 'Allow automated trading' and make sure the EA smiles in the top-right corner.

Position sizing

The EA reads your MT5 account balance and the risk percent from the signal. It calculates a lot size so the stop-loss distance equals your chosen risk. The calculation uses the broker's own tick value, tick size and lot limits, so it adapts to your account.

Troubleshooting

• If the EA does nothing, check the Experts tab for errors.
• If polling fails, verify the bridge token and the allowed WebRequest URL.
• If lot size fails, confirm the chart symbol matches the signal symbol.
