MT5 Android Feature Request: Account Groups & All Positions

[Tom Riddle]

Summary

Two related improvements for traders who keep many accounts in MetaTrader 5 for Android (prop firm evaluations, funded accounts, personal and demo accounts):

1. Account groups: create named groups and filter the Accounts screen by group.
2. All open positions: a read-only view of open trades across all accounts, or across one group.

Wireframes are attached (5 screens, mock data).

The problem

• The Accounts screen is one flat list. With 8–15 accounts across several brokers and prop firms, finding the right account means scrolling and reading server names.
• There is no way to see combined balance or equity for a set of accounts, for example everything held with one prop firm.
• To check open trades you must log in to each account one by one. With trades spread across several accounts this is slow, and it is easy to miss a position near a drawdown limit.

Feature 1: Account groups

User story: As a trader with many accounts, I want to group them (e.g. by prop firm, personal, demo) so I can find and monitor the ones I care about quickly.

Proposed behaviour

• The static "Accounts" title becomes a dropdown: All accounts plus each group (screen 1–2).
• Each group entry shows its colour, account count and combined balance.
• In All accounts, accounts appear under collapsible group headers with a group total. Ungrouped accounts sit under Other.
• Selecting a group shows only its accounts and a summary strip: total balance, equity, floating P/L and open position count (screen 3).
• New group / Manage groups: set a name, a colour and tick the member accounts (screen 4). An account belongs to one group at a time.
• Groups are purely visual and stored on the device. They do not change how accounts connect or trade.
• The last selected group is remembered.

Feature 2: All open positions

User story: As a trader running positions on several accounts, I want one list of all open trades so I can monitor risk without switching accounts.

Proposed behaviour

• On the Trade tab, a toggle: This account (current behaviour) / All accounts (screen 5).
• A group selector filters the list to one group, using the same groups as Feature 1.
• Positions are listed under an account header showing that account's floating P/L. Each row shows symbol, side, volume, open → current price and profit.
• A summary card shows total floating P/L, number of positions and accounts, combined equity and the last update time.
• The view is read-only. Tapping an account header switches to that account, where the trade can be managed as today.

Technical considerations

Today the app keeps a live connection to one account at a time, so Feature 2 is the harder of the two. Possible approaches, from lightest to fullest:

• Periodic refresh: briefly poll each account in the group in the background (e.g. every 30–60 s) and show the time of the last update.
• Limited live connections: keep live connections only for accounts in the selected group, with a sensible cap.
• Full live streaming for all saved accounts.

Other points:

• Mixed currencies: show per-account values in their own currency; convert totals to a user-chosen display currency and mark them as approximate (≈).
• Accounts needing re-login: show the account header with a "Reconnect" state instead of hiding it.
• Investor (read-only) logins work naturally with this view.
• Battery and data: background refresh can be off by default or limited to when the app is open.

Why this matters

Many MT5 mobile users now trade several prop firm accounts in parallel. Grouping and a combined positions view reduce the risk of missing a position close to a daily or overall loss limit, and make the app far more usable for multi-account traders. Feature 1 alone is a small, self-contained change that would already help a lot.
