# TickerAll > Hosted API for MetaTrader 4 & 5 broker accounts. Connect an MT4/MT5 account once and control it entirely from your own code — one REST + WebSocket API, with no VPS, no EA bridge, and no terminal to keep running. Also usable from AI assistants via a hosted MCP server. TickerAll gives developers and algorithmic traders programmatic access to their MetaTrader broker accounts: place, modify and close trades; stream live ticks and position/order events; read historical candles; and mirror one account to many (copy trading). It works with any MetaTrader 4/5 broker, on demo and live accounts, and keeps symbols in the broker's own names. ## Documentation - [Docs & API reference](https://tickerall.com/docs): REST + WebSocket quickstart and reference - [Python guide](https://tickerall.com/docs/python): the `tickerall` package (PyPI) - [TypeScript guide](https://tickerall.com/docs/typescript): the `@tickerall/sdk` package (npm) - [OpenAPI spec](https://tickerall.com/openapi.json): machine-readable REST API description ## Guides - [Place your first MT5 trade over a REST API](https://tickerall.com/blog/place-your-first-mt5-trade-rest-api) - [MetaTrader 5 from TypeScript: connect, stream, trade](https://tickerall.com/blog/mt5-api-typescript-quickstart) - [What a MetaTrader 5 REST API actually looks like](https://tickerall.com/blog/metatrader-5-rest-api-developers-guide) - [Stream live MT5 tick data over WebSocket (Python)](https://tickerall.com/blog/stream-live-mt5-tick-data-websocket-python) - [Run your MetaTrader 5 accounts from Claude (MCP)](https://tickerall.com/blog/run-metatrader-5-from-claude-mcp) - [Copy trading across your MT5 accounts with an API](https://tickerall.com/blog/copy-trading-across-mt5-accounts-api) - [Backtest an MT5 strategy with historical candles (Python)](https://tickerall.com/blog/backtest-mt5-strategy-historical-candles-python) - [The MetaTrader5 Python package vs a hosted API](https://tickerall.com/blog/metatrader5-python-package-vs-hosted-api) - [All guides](https://tickerall.com/blog) ## Product - [Features](https://tickerall.com/features): REST control + data plane, realtime WebSocket, historical candles - [Copy trading](https://tickerall.com/copy-trading): mirror a master account to many followers - [Pricing](https://tickerall.com/pricing): Free, Trader, Pro and Enterprise tiers - [FAQ](https://tickerall.com/faq): brokers, data, trading, SDKs, AI assistants, plans - [TickerAll vs MetaApi](https://tickerall.com/compare/tickerall-vs-metaapi): how TickerAll compares - [Live market-data demo](https://tickerall.com/live) - [Status & uptime](https://tickerall.com/status) ## Use from an AI assistant - Hosted MCP server: `https://mcp.tickerall.com`.
