Connecting a MetaTrader 5 account to GoldHunts needs three things from the broker: the server name, the account login number and the account password. The connection is made through MetaAPI, so GoldHunts reads what the broker shows on that account and routes orders back to the same account. A practice (demo) account can be connected first, free and permanently, before any live account. Connecting costs nothing, and a freshly connected account first downloads its trade history, which on a large account takes a few minutes and is reported as syncing rather than as a failure.
A practice account gives the whole desk free and permanently, including demo order execution. On a broker-verified live account, opening or increasing exposure requires an active trial or subscription, while closing a position, reducing size, cancelling a pending order and tightening a stop remain available whether or not the account is paid — risk can always be reduced. Start free. GoldHunts Live is £7.99 a month or £49.99 a year (about £4.17 a month), with a 7-day trial. The free signals, journal, calculators and demo trading stay free.
Connections can drop when a broker changes a server, a password changes, an account expires or the broker is briefly unreachable; the account is flagged with the specific reason and reconnecting means re-entering the credentials. Positions already open live at the broker and are unaffected. The password is never shown back, written into a chat transcript or emailed, GoldHunts cannot withdraw funds, and an account can be disconnected or deleted at any time. Turning the model off, or turning it off for that account, stops new entries at once. Disconnecting the broker account removes execution access entirely.
