Connect OANDA (MT5) to CRX

OANDA MetaTrader 5 — Login, Password, Server.

These forex brokers connect via MT5 Login + Password + Server — not a REST API key. CRX routes orders through the MT5 bridge (Windows PC with MetaTrader 5 + MT5_BRIDGE_URL).

Before you connect

Use the MT5 trading password — not the OANDA portal password.
Platform login is the number under My Accounts → Platform Login.
Server name must match exactly as shown in MT5.

Step 1 — On OANDA (MT5)

Get MT5 credentials from OANDA (MT5)

OANDA Global Markets accounts trade through MetaTrader 5 (no API token). Copy the MT5 platform login and server from the OANDA portal or the MT5 welcome email, and paste them into CRX Settings for gold, silver, and FX majors.

Open OANDA & create MT5 account

Sign in to OANDA. portal.oanda.com → My Accounts → Platform Login (MT5). Open or request a MetaTrader 5 account (demo recommended first). Download MT5 from OANDA if you have not already.

Use MT5 account type — not cTrader-only unless you also have MT5
Note Demo vs Live — server name differs
Complete KYC if required before live MT5

Copy Login, Password & Server

In the OANDA client area or MT5 terminal (File → Login to Trade Account), copy the numeric Login, trading Password, and exact Server string.

Login — numeric MT5 account number
Password — MT5 trading password (may differ from website login)
Server — e.g. the server name in your OANDA MT5 welcome email
Server spelling must match exactly — including spaces and suffixes

Prepare MT5 bridge (required)

OANDA does not offer a direct REST API for CRX. Orders route through MetaTrader 5 on a Windows PC. Install MT5, log in once, and set MT5_BRIDGE_URL on the CRX server (see docs/LIVE-LOCAL-TEST.md).

Windows PC with MetaTrader 5 logged in to your account
CRX MT5 bridge service running and reachable
Use a dedicated MT5 account for automation if possible
