Installation

Step-by-step guide to installing the Hedge Account plugin.

Requirements

  • MetaTrader 5 Server (x64)
  • Windows Server with MT5 Trade Server running
  • Server public IP whitelisted by Brokeret (contact the Brokeret team)

Installation Steps

  1. Copy the plugin DLL — Place BrokeretHedgeAccount64.dll into your MT5 server's plugins directory
  2. Restart or add via Admin — Restart the MT5 server, or add the plugin through MT5 Administrator without a restart
  3. Configure mappings — Set Mapping_1 (and optionally Mapping_2 through Mapping_8) in the plugin parameters
  4. Verify the API — The REST API is ready on port 8445 with default key default. Change the API_Key parameter before going to production.
💡
TipThe minimum configuration is just one mapping, e.g. Mapping_1 = real\* | 5001. This will mirror all trades from groups matching real\* to account 5001.

Licensing

The Hedge Account plugin requires IP whitelisting. No license keys or manual activation is needed — simply provide your MT5 server's public IP address to the Brokeret team and it will be whitelisted.

Once your IP is whitelisted, the plugin activates automatically on startup. If your server IP changes, contact Brokeret to update the whitelist.

📧
NoteContact the Brokeret team with your server's public IP address to get started.

Verifying Installation

After installation, verify the plugin is running by calling the status endpoint:

curl -H "X-API-Key: default" http://<server_ip>:8445/api/status

A successful response looks like:

{
  "plugin": "Brokeret Hedge Account",
  "version": "1.00",
  "license_active": true,
  "mappings_total": 1
}
⚠️
WarningChange the default API key (default) before deploying to production. Set the API_Key plugin parameter in MT5 Administrator to a strong, unique value.
