Protect your MT4/MT5 trading on iPhone and Android
In brief
Trading from an iPhone or Android phone? SentinelleTrader monitors your connected account remotely and applies configured limits, even while your personal computer is off. You keep using your usual MT4 or MT5 app.
Protection follows your trading account
Orders placed from your phone belong to the same account you use in MetaTrader on a computer. SentinelleTrader monitors that account remotely, so switching devices does not change the limits you configured.
You can prepare your stopping rule before the session and continue using your mobile app. While a lock is active, new positions on the protected account are automatically closed until the planned reset.
Your personal computer can stay off
The service hosts the monitoring environment. You do not need to leave your personal computer running for protection to work. The service and its connection to the broker must still remain operational.
Essential covers one account with daily drawdown and stop-loss limits. Pro covers two accounts with separate rules and adds trading days and hours. A second account on the same phone must be connected and covered separately.
Three checks before a mobile session
- Match the platform, account number and server in MetaTrader with the account connected to SentinelleTrader.
- Review your limits and next reset, including the time zone when you use trading hours.
- Wait for the dashboard to show active protection, rather than preparation or a connection error.
Seeing live quotes in MetaTrader does not by itself confirm the protection connection. After changing a password or broker server, check protection status again before the next session.
A lock does not necessarily disable your app’s Buy or Sell button. It acts on new positions, so execution delays and trading costs remain possible.
You can discover SentinelleTrader or follow the guide to setting up MT4/MT5 protection.
