By: James Vance – SeaPRwire – Generic AI on a trading platform is no longer enough. An agent that only sees the same market feed every broker offers still leaves a gap between research and action. ProreX Limited just closed that gap for its MetaTrader 5 clients. The broker exposed its own screener, Smart Score, trade ideas and market data through a dedicated MCP server. The agent can reason with ProreX tools and MT5 live data in one flow. Every trade still waits for the client’s manual confirmation by default. That combination is the actual shift.
After MetaTrader 5 Build 6060 added native Model Context Protocol and agentic AI, ProreX went further than the platform default. Clients can run the built-in AI Assistant inside the terminal or MetaEditor. It defaults to the free MQL5.community provider. Users can switch to their own API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek or Ollama. They can also connect external MCP-compatible agents such as OpenAI Codex or Claude Code through the platform’s built-in MCP server. ProreX then adds its own MCP endpoint. A client simply adds the new server in the terminal’s MCP settings. From that moment a single agent can call ProreX’s screener and Smart Score to rank instruments, pull current trade ideas with their rationale, and load relevant market news and the economic calendar. The same agent can then open the live MT5 chart and prepare an entry. The full chain runs from one instruction. Trading permission stays under client control. The three explicit modes are disabled for pure analysis, manual confirmation as the ProreX default, and enabled only if the client opts in. Network access is limited to GET requests by default. Dangerous shell operations remain off. External agents authenticate with a regenerable API key. Optional Investor password sessions can further lock a research agent to read-only. Theodore Presley, Head of Product, stated the difference plainly. Native AI on MT5 is available to every broker’s clients. ProreX’s MCP plugs its own research into the agent so the reasoning uses ProreX tools before any action on MetaTrader 5. The agent proposes. The client decides.
The closed loop is deliberate. Roadmap items still in development include backtesting against historical data, trade-journal behavioural diagnostics that flag patterns such as overtrading, and deeper mandate-governed automation inside client-set limits. None of those are live yet. What is live is the research-to-proposal chain under manual confirmation. Clients who treat the agent as an unsupervised executor will carry the extra risks the disclosure already lists: misinterpretation of instructions, incomplete data, unexpected behaviour. Clients who keep the default confirmation setting and review every proposal keep the account and the decision. Check the MCP settings, add the ProreX server, and leave trading on manual confirmation. That is the practical starting configuration.
