Connecting your broker

Connect an account so Chartnaut can show live prices and send trades from Terminal → Real-time.

Today you can use Chartnaut Demo (practice money) or MetaTrader (your real broker). More brokers are coming soon.

Live trading in Chartnaut means: connect → trade in Real-time → review fills in Trades.

Pick a path

1. Chartnaut Demo — live markets, virtual money, no broker login

2. MetaTrader — link MT4 or MT5 for live trading

3. Check Broker capacity — how many live MetaTrader links your plan allows

The live path

1. Connect — Accounts (Demo or MetaTrader)

2. Trade — Terminal → Real-time, pick account, execute with plan

3. Journal — fills land in Trades with notes, tags, and snapshots

Skip straight to Demo if you are not ready for broker credentials.

Where this lives

• Connect and manage accounts: Accounts in the sidebar

• Trade with the active account: Terminal → Real-time

Demo vs MetaTrader

Demo — live data, virtual money, no capacity cost on standard plans. Learn confirm flow and journaling.

MetaTrader — your broker account, real P&L, Broker capacity reserved while enabled.

Same Terminal UI. Different risk. Tag demo fills if you filter them out of playbook intelligence later.

Important distinctions

Real-time ≠ backtest practice on historical data.

Demo ≠ Backtest — Demo follows the live clock; Backtest replays history.

Connecting MetaTrader does not start a backtest session.
