Connect your MT5 broker once. Every closed trade imports automatically. R-Multiple analytics tell you what your edge actually pays. Walk-Forward Analysis tells you if it's real.
MT5 runs on hundreds of brokers — IC Markets, Pepperstone, Exness, Oanda, Eightcap, BlackBull, and more. SignalDeck connects to all of them via MetaApi. Once you paste in your account credentials, every closed trade syncs: symbol, volume, fill price, P&L, and direction — without you touching anything.
Live balance sync reads your actual account equity in real time. When your balance changes after a win or loss, your 1R dollar amount adjusts automatically — so every position size calculation reflects what you actually have, not what you had yesterday.

Wins don't need to be majority — edge does
You cut losses early and let winners run
Statistically real edge — trust the system
P&L tells you what happened. R-Multiple tells you why. When every trade is measured as a multiple of the risk you defined, a 44% win rate on a 2.3R average winner is a profitable system — even though you lose more than you win. Most traders don't know their true expectancy because they're tracking dollars instead of R.
SQN score (System Quality Number) normalizes your expectancy against its variance. Below 1.6 is a weak system. Above 2.0 is tradable. Above 3.0 is excellent. Your live journal data feeds directly into your SQN — so as you trade, you're continuously measuring whether your MT5 strategy has a statistically real edge.
Learn how R-Multiple and SQN work →A good backtest in MT5 Strategy Tester doesn't mean the strategy works forward. Curve-fitting — optimizing parameters to historical data — is the most common way traders fool themselves. Walk-Forward Analysis catches it.
SignalDeck's Walk-Forward Analysis splits your backtest data into in-sample (80%) and out-of-sample (20%) windows. A strategy that profits on both has demonstrated real generalization. One that only works in-sample is curve-fitted — and will fail live. The Pass/Fail verdict is clear before you size up.

If your broker runs MetaTrader 5, SignalDeck can connect to it. No broker-specific setup required.
And hundreds more — BlackBull, Oanda, FP Markets, XM, Fusion Markets, ThinkMarkets, and any other MT5-enabled broker.
Does SignalDeck work with MetaTrader 5?
Yes. SignalDeck connects to any MT5 broker account via MetaApi. Closed trades import automatically — symbol, volume, fill price, and P&L sync without manual entry. Add your stop loss after import to enable R-Multiple calculation.
Which MT5 brokers does SignalDeck support?
Any broker that runs MetaTrader 5 — IC Markets, Pepperstone, Exness, Oanda, Eightcap, BlackBull, FP Markets, and hundreds more. If your broker offers MT5 accounts, MetaApi can connect to it. Both live and demo accounts are supported.
What is R-Multiple and why does it matter?
R-Multiple expresses every trade as a multiple of your planned risk. A +2R win means you made twice what you risked. A -1R loss means you lost exactly what you planned. R normalizes results across instruments and sizes — your expectancy (average R per trade) tells you what your edge pays over time, independent of how much you're trading.
Can I backtest my MT5 strategy in SignalDeck?
Yes. The strategy backtester lets you define rules and test them on historical data. Walk-Forward Analysis splits data 80/20 and returns a Pass or Likely Overfitted verdict — so you know whether the edge generalizes before you scale capital.
Is SignalDeck only for prop firm traders?
No. SignalDeck is built for any serious trader on MT5 — retail traders growing their own account, swing traders, day traders, and quant-leaning traders who want validated edge data. The R-framework and WFA are useful for anyone who wants to know whether their strategy is real, regardless of whether they're on a funded account.
