Getting started
What is xTriel?+
xTriel is mission control for algorithmic and multi-account MetaTrader 5 trading. A lightweight Expert Advisor streams live telemetry from each of your terminals into a single real-time dashboard — balance, equity, floating P&L, open positions, and live/stale/offline status for every account. On top of that you get drawdown monitoring, equity-curve analytics, session breakdowns, instant Telegram risk alerts, public xTracker performance links, and the xAlmanac backtest library — all self-hosted, so your data stays yours.
Which brokers and platforms work with xTriel?+
Any broker that runs MetaTrader 5. xTriel connects through a lightweight Expert Advisor that attaches to your MT5 terminal, so it's broker-agnostic — if your account works in MT5, it works with xTriel. xTriel monitors MT5 terminals specifically; other trading platforms aren't supported today.
How do I connect my MT5 account?+
Three steps, usually done in minutes: Attach the EA — drop the xTriel Expert Advisor onto any chart in your MetaTrader 5 terminal, one EA per terminal, no broker permissions changed. Let it stream — the EA pushes account telemetry to your xTriel gateway in real time and each terminal appears automatically. Watch and configure — see everything on one screen, then set drawdown and profit rules and link Telegram for alerts. Step-by-step setup lives on the Connect your MT5 guide.
Do I need to keep my PC on?+
The MT5 terminal running the EA needs to be online for live data to stream — the same as any EA or copier. Most traders run it on a VPS so monitoring continues 24/7 without leaving a home machine on.
Can I monitor more than one account?+
Yes — that's the point. Add as many terminals as your plan allows and they all surface on one dashboard. Free covers 1 account, Pro up to 10, and Max is unlimited.
Data & security
Is my data self-hosted?+
Yes. xTriel runs as a gateway on your own server. Account telemetry, equity time-series, and analytics are stored locally in SQLite — not pooled in a third-party cloud or shared across users. You own the data and the infrastructure it lives on.
Is my MT5 data safe?+
Your account telemetry, equity history, and analytics live on your own server — not locked inside a broker's tools or shared with anyone. Access is behind authentication, and because everything is self-hosted, the security boundary is yours to control.
Does the Expert Advisor place trades?+
No. The xTriel EA is read-only. It reads and streams account telemetry — balances, equity, open positions, drawdown — and nothing more. It never has permission to open, modify, or close a position. xTriel is monitoring and analytics, not an auto-trader or copier.
Can I export my data?+
Yes. Equity history is exportable to CSV on the Max tier, and the xAlmanac backtest library exports back to .set and CSV. Since the database is on your server, your records are never trapped behind a vendor.
Alerts
How do the Telegram alerts work?+
You set per-terminal rules — drawdown percentage, profit targets, and stale-terminal detection — then link your Telegram. When a threshold trips, xTriel sends an instant message so you act in seconds, not hours.
Will I get flooded with notifications?+
No. xTriel applies batching and cooldowns so repeated triggers collapse into the signal that matters instead of a stream of duplicates. You get told once, clearly, rather than buzzed every tick. An alert history keeps a record of what fired and when.
Do new trades trigger an alert?+
Yes. The moment a new position opens on a connected terminal, xTriel can ping you automatically — symbol, direction, and volume included — so you always know when an EA fires, even on accounts you aren't watching.
How long is alert history kept?+
It depends on your plan: Free keeps 24 hours, Pro keeps 90 days, and Max is unlimited. Free also caps alerts at 3 per day with basic rules; Pro and Max are unlimited rules and alerts, and Max adds priority delivery.
xTracker
What is xTracker?+
xTracker turns an account into a clean, shareable public performance link — self-hosted and fully yours. Send it to investors, a prop firm, or your audience to show your track record without handing over login access.
Can I control what's visible?+
Yes — granular privacy controls let you mask the account number, hide money values, and show or hide individual trades with a toggle. Publish the percentages and the curve while keeping balances and positions to yourself.
How many public links do I get?+
Public xTracker links are a paid feature: Pro includes 3 links, and Max is unlimited with masking and branding. The Free tier doesn't include public links. Learn more on the xTracker page.
xAlmanac
What can I import into xAlmanac?+
Import MT5 .set presets, HTML backtest reports, and optimization results into one library. Each run is parsed into the same set of metrics so you can stop hunting through folders for last month's best parameters.
How do I compare backtests?+
xAlmanac plots your runs on a drawdown-vs-net-profit scatter so the efficient ones jump out, and a sortable master table lets you rank by profit factor, max drawdown, Sharpe, win rate, and more. Find the parameter set with the best return for the risk you'll accept.
Can I export a preset back out?+
Yes — export winners straight back to .set to load into MT5, or to CSV for your own analysis. Pro includes up to 50 presets; Max is unlimited and adds optimization compare plus .set export. See the xAlmanac page.
Billing & plans
What's the catch with the free tier?+
No catch — the Free tier is the real product for one account, supported by ads. You get the live dashboard (balance, equity, drawdown, positions), daily drawdown monitoring, 3 risk alerts a day, 7 days of equity history, and the economic calendar. The only trade-off is the on-screen ads and the lower limits. Upgrade to remove ads and lift the caps.
What do Pro and Max add?+
Pro — $49/mo covers up to 10 accounts, the full dashboard plus session analytics, 1 year of equity history, unlimited risk rules and alerts, 3 xTracker links, the xAlmanac library (up to 50 presets), live prices, and no ads. Max — $79/mo is unlimited accounts, advanced heatmaps, unlimited history with CSV export, priority alert delivery, unlimited xTracker links with masking and branding, unlimited xAlmanac with optimization compare and .set export, plus priority support, onboarding, and early access.
How does annual billing work?+
Annual billing is charged once a year at ten months' rate — so two months are effectively free versus paying monthly. Toggle Monthly/Annual on the pricing page to see both. Prices are in USD.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Plans are month-to-month — or annual if you choose — and you can cancel whenever you like. Because your data is self-hosted, it stays with you on your server regardless of plan.
