What you need to understand about trading risk before using anything on this site. Read this carefully.
Nothing on Trading on MT5 constitutes financial advice, investment advice, trading advice, or any other form of professional advice. All content is for educational and informational purposes only.
We are not licensed financial advisors, regulated investment firms, or fiduciaries. The authors and operators of this site do not know your financial situation, risk tolerance, investment objectives, or tax circumstances. You should consult an appropriately licensed professional in your jurisdiction before making any financial decisions.
Any reference to historical performance, backtests, or trading examples is not a guarantee or prediction of future results. Strategies that performed well in past market conditions may perform poorly or fail entirely under different conditions. Backtested results in particular are subject to limitations including survivorship bias, look-ahead bias, and the absence of execution slippage, spreads, and commissions that affect real trading.
The MT5 platform is used to trade leveraged products including but not limited to:
These products amplify both gains and losses. A small adverse price move can result in losses substantially larger than your account equity. Most retail jurisdictions cap leverage to limit this risk, but offshore brokers offer leverage of 1:500 or higher where the risk of total loss in a single trade is real.
This site operates a free Telegram signals service available to clients of our partner brokers (see Affiliate Disclosure). Signals published in that channel are general market commentary, not personal financial advice. They are not tailored to your circumstances, risk tolerance, or financial position. We have no knowledge of your account size, leverage, or other positions.
If your account equity falls below the broker's margin requirement, your positions may be partially or fully liquidated without notice. This can occur during fast market moves where you have no opportunity to react. Always trade with stop losses and never with capital you cannot afford to lose.
Trading on MT5 requires holding funds at a broker. Broker risks include:
Trading via MT5 depends on technology that can fail:
Plan for these failure modes. Have a phone number for your broker's dealing desk. Use guaranteed stop losses for critical positions if your broker offers them.
Trading gains and losses have tax implications that vary widely by jurisdiction. Some products may not be legally available to residents of certain countries. You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with the laws and tax obligations in your jurisdiction. Consult a qualified tax advisor.
Gold is one of the most volatile instruments on MT5. Daily ranges of 200 to 500 pips are common, and intraday spikes of 100 pips in seconds occur regularly around news. Position sizing on gold requires unusual care. The math in our position-sizing articles is correct but assumes you understand the underlying contract specifications at your specific broker, which may differ.
Some outbound links to brokers are affiliate links, meaning we may earn compensation if you sign up after clicking. Affiliate relationships are disclosed at the top of each broker review. Editorial coverage is not influenced by affiliate arrangements. If a broker we have an affiliate relationship with has significant problems, we publish them.
By using Trading on MT5, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this disclaimer, that you understand the risks of leveraged trading, and that you accept full responsibility for your own trading decisions and any resulting financial outcomes.
