Brokers checking my MetaTrader terminal

[OLIVER GYILA]

Hi everyone,

don't know if this has been discussed before, couldn't find it in the forum.

I have a question about brokers and mt4 technical relationship.

Let's say i have set up my mt4 on a vps, and i use an expert advisor that uses dll for WebRequest. Does the broker see what web page my ea is accessing? Or how my ea works? Or they only see my positions with the magic numbers and order comments?

Or, in other words, the working of my ea is terminal/pc dependant or is it also accesible by my broker account?

Thank you very much for your answers

Do brokers see the installed EAs

The question constantly pops up, the answers were repeatedly given.

Never any broker sees and does not have access to the trader's computer, does not know and does not have access to his robots or any other programs.

But each order has a type of reason, which indicates how it was created - manually or by experts.

To be afraid of knowledge by the broker ("trader trades experts") does not make sense. At a huge number of brokers, the percentage of autotrading more than 50% of transactions - everyone understands that this is a new reality.

The broker only has access to your trading activity, including order comments, magic numbers and whether they were made manually or by an EA.

They don't have access to your VPS, nor your EA code, nor whether you are using a DLLs or web-requests.
