MT4 & MT5. Streaming in real time.
The platform connects directly to MetaTrader through managed cloud gateways: no manual trade copying, no spreadsheet reconciliation, nothing to install. Start monitoring an account and it goes live within seconds; from then on, every balance, equity, and trade event arrives in real time.
Built for prop firms, trading businesses and account managers.
What you get. In detail.
Managed cloud gateways
Multiple gateway regions connect to your brokers’ trade servers: fully managed, nothing for you to host, install, or patch.
One-click & batch control
Start or stop monitoring per account, or across whole cohorts at once, useful for onboarding waves and day boundaries.
Multi-broker, multi-server
Offer several brokers and trade servers under one roof, MT4 and MT5 side by side, each account tied to its own broker credentials.
Real-time ingestion
Balance, equity, and individual trade events stream in as they happen (sub-100ms typical latency) and are recorded as full per-account history: the raw material for challenges, risk, and profiles.
Gateway health
See which monitors are active, healthy, or unhealthy across regions. Connection problems surface immediately instead of showing up as “stale data” hours later.
Account lifecycle
Create, edit, assign, activate, and deactivate broker accounts; manage the starting and day balances that drive drawdown math.
Ten seconds. Credentials to live stream.
One click, no infrastructure
You entered the account credentials and clicked start. A managed gateway in the right region did everything else: no VPS to rent, no terminal to install, no EA to attach and babysit.
Real time from the first event
From that moment, balance, equity, and trade events stream in in real time (sub-100ms typical latency) and are recorded as the account’s permanent history. It is the same live stream that powers challenge evaluation, risk monitoring, exposure, and the trader’s own dashboard.
Health you can see
The monitor shows as healthy from the first event, and it stays visible: a dropped broker connection surfaces immediately as unhealthy instead of masquerading as quiet data, and reconciliation restarts anything that was lost.
Why firms switch. And what changes.
The integration is where prop platforms fail
Most prop firm tooling breaks at the same place: getting reliable, continuous data out of MetaTrader. Home-grown setups mean fleets of VPS boxes running EAs that disconnect silently, break on broker server changes, and need a person to notice. When the data layer is unreliable, everything above it (challenge evaluation, risk, analytics) inherits the unreliability.
How managed gateways work
Fxward operates cloud gateways in multiple regions that connect directly to your brokers’ MT4 and MT5 trade servers using investor or master credentials you control. Monitoring starts per account or in batches from the panel; balance, equity, and trade events stream in in real time and are recorded as complete per-account history. Gateway and monitor health is visible at a glance, and reconciliation jobs restart anything that drops.
What changes for your firm
One reliable data backbone feeds every feature: evaluation, risk monitoring, exposure, profiles, and the trader portal all read the same live stream. There is no infrastructure for you to rent, patch, or babysit, adding a broker or server is configuration rather than a project, and “is the data current?” stops being a question anyone asks.
Running your own EA fleet vs. managed gateways. The hidden cost center.
Setup
Rent VPS boxes, install terminals, attach EAs, and repeat for every broker and server.
Enter account credentials and click start: per account, or whole cohorts in a batch.
Reliability
EAs disconnect silently; you find out when the numbers stop making sense.
Gateway and monitor health visible at a glance; reconciliation restarts lost monitors.
Broker changes
A trade-server migration breaks the fleet until someone notices and rebuilds it.
Multi-broker, multi-server, multi-region: managed and kept current for you.
Scale
Every fifty accounts is another box to patch, monitor, and pay for.
Scaling is a batch start; the infrastructure is our problem, permanently.
Common questions. Straight answers.
No. Fxward’s cloud gateways connect directly to your brokers’ MT4/MT5 trade servers using the account credentials you provide. There are no EAs, no VPS to rent, and no software to install. You click start on an account and events begin streaming in.
