What is the AlgoDeltaFX Forex API?
It is a REST API for MetaTrader 5 with two layers. The Account API trades a single MT5 account: place, modify and cancel orders, close positions, and read profile, symbols, open positions and pending orders. The Master API controls every account you own: add or replace MT5 accounts, create copy groups, set multiplier, fixed-lot or balance-based sizing, pause child accounts and fetch daily profit. Both use JWT authentication and run in the AlgoDeltaFX cloud.

FAQ
Forex API FAQ
What is the AlgoDeltaFX Forex API?
A REST API for MetaTrader 5. The Account API places, modifies and cancels orders, closes positions and reads profile, symbols, open positions and pending orders. The Master API manages many accounts: add or replace MT5 accounts, build copy groups, set multipliers and fetch daily profit.
What is the difference between the Account API and the Master API?
The Account API uses one account's JWT and trades that account. The Master API authenticates as your AlgoDeltaFX user and controls every account and group you own, which is what you need to manage many accounts or build your own platform.
How is the API authenticated?
With JSON Web Tokens (JWT). Account endpoints use an Authorization: Bearer header; the Master API issues a master token from your AlgoDeltaFX login.
Which order types does the API support?
Buy, Sell, Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Stop, Buy Stop Limit and Sell Stop Limit (order_type 0 to 7), with optional price, stop loss, take profit and stop-limit price.
Can I build my own trading or copy trading platform on the API?
Yes. The Master API exposes account onboarding, group and copy-setting management and reporting, so you can build your own front end. If you want it branded and hosted for you, use the White Label plan.
Is there an MT5 API without running a terminal or VPS?
Yes. AlgoDeltaFX hosts the MT5 connections in the cloud. You call HTTPS endpoints and do not need to run MetaTrader, an EA or a VPS yourself.
Is the API included in the price?
API access is included in every plan, billed per connected account from $8 per month ($7 on the yearly plan). High-volume and white-label usage can be priced on request.
