Connect your first MT5 account
This is the complete first-account path. Nothing in this setup gives Ultimate Extractor permission to place trades or move funds—the EA reports analytics data from your terminal.

Recommended workflow
Install the Ultimate Extractor Cloud Sync EA
Download the installer, close MetaTrader if prompted, and let the installer place the EA files in the correct MT5 data folder. Restart MT5 when installation finishes.
Create a connection key in V2
Open Connections, choose Create Key, give it a recognizable label such as “Home VPS,” and copy the full key once. Treat it like a password.
Configure MT5 and attach the EA
Allow WebRequest for the endpoint shown in Connections, enable Algo Trading, attach Cloud Sync to one chart, and paste the key into the EA inputs. One instance can report the account; it does not belong on every chart.
Confirm the first sync
Return to Accounts and wait for the account to show Connected. Open Portfolio to confirm the broker, balance, equity, and recent activity match MT5.
Terms worth knowing
- Connection key
- A revocable credential that lets the Cloud Sync EA send data to your Ultimate Extractor workspace.
- Cloud Sync EA
- The MT5 Expert Advisor that reports account and trade data. It is separate from the trading EAs you are analyzing.
- Trial activation
- The seven-day Pro trial begins when your first trading account successfully connects, not when you create your login.
Troubleshooting
The EA is attached, but no account appears.
Check Algo Trading, the WebRequest allow-list, and the connection key for extra spaces. Then review the MT5 Experts and Journal tabs for the first explicit error.
MT5 says the URL is not allowed.
Copy the endpoint from Connections into MT5 under Tools → Options → Expert Advisors → Allow WebRequest for listed URL, then reinitialize the EA.
Should I attach Cloud Sync to every symbol?
No. Use one running instance per MT5 account unless support tells you otherwise. Multiple instances can create noisy duplicate heartbeats.
