How AURAX actually works
AURAX is automation software that runs inside your own MT5 terminal, plus a portal that watches and controls it. Understanding the pieces below tells you exactly what AURAX can and can't do for you.
Your broker
Executes every trade
Your MT5 terminal
Runs the EA
AURAX portal
Monitors and commands
The signal path
Nothing in the portal touches your broker directly. Every instruction takes this route, and every number you see travelled back along it.
Portal
You send a command or settings change
AURAX servers
Hold it until the EA checks in
EA in your MT5
Picks it up and acts on it
Your broker
Fills the resulting order
AURAX operates
You and your broker operate
Commands and settings travel left to right, and only take effect once the EA picks them up on its next check-in.
Telemetry travels back right to left, roughly once a minute while the EA is running. That is what the dashboard, history and analytics are built from.
From sign-up to a running bot
Five steps, and what each one does and does not do.
Create an AURAX account
You sign up with an email and password. This creates your portal login — it does not create a broker account or move any money.
Add your MT5 account details
In the portal, you register the MT5 account number and server you want AURAX to run on (a demo account for the free trial, or your own live account with your own broker). AURAX issues a license key tied to that account. AURAX never asks for or stores your MT5 master/investor password to do this.
Install and activate the EA in MT5
You attach the AURAX Expert Advisor to a chart inside your own MT5 terminal and paste in the license key. From this point, the EA — running on your computer or VPS, inside your MT5 terminal — is what actually places, manages and closes trades, according to the strategy and risk settings configured for that account.
Your broker executes every trade
The EA sends orders to your broker through your MT5 terminal exactly like a manual trade would. AURAX is not a broker, does not hold your funds, and does not execute trades itself — your broker fills every order, at their prices, under their execution and margin rules.
The portal receives telemetry and gives you control
On each check-in (roughly once a minute while running), the EA reports status and trading data to AURAX's servers. The portal turns that into your live dashboard, history and analytics, and lets you send commands — pause, resume, close all, or apply a settings template — that the EA then picks up and applies on its next check-in.
Who does what
AURAX provides
- The Expert Advisor (trading-automation software)
- The web portal: monitoring, controls, history, analytics, templates, licensing
- Telemetry storage and the dashboards built from it
You / your broker provide
- The MT5 account, trading capital, and the broker relationship
- A running MT5 terminal (on your PC or a VPS you control)
- Trade execution, fills, spread, swap and commission — all set by your broker
Control and its limits
Every control in the portal is a request to the EA, not a direct action on your broker's systems. A command is only acted on once it reaches the EA:
Everything online
Portal, network, MT5 terminal and EA all online → commands are typically picked up on the EA's next check-in, roughly within a minute.
The EA cannot be reached
MT5 terminal closed, AutoTrading disabled, WebRequest blocked, or your network/VPS is down → the EA cannot receive commands or open new trades until it reconnects.
The portal cannot be reached
AURAX's own servers or your internet connection are unavailable → the portal itself may be unreachable, and any command you sent won't be delivered until connectivity returns.
No server-side kill switch. There is no independent, server-side switch that can force-close a position without the EA — every control depends on the EA being alive and connected. Positions already open at your broker stay open, subject to normal market risk, for as long as the EA is unable to act on them.
Settings, templates and what's actually enforced
Risk and strategy parameters (lot sizing, grid step, profit targets, drawdown limits, filters) are stored in your portal and sent to the EA as a settings update. The EA is what reads and enforces them — a setting only takes effect once the EA has picked up the change, and only for as long as the EA keeps running with that configuration. We recommend pausing the bot with no open positions before changing settings or applying a template, and resuming once the update is confirmed.
