TradeCast FAQ
Clear answers about MT5 verification, read-only access, trader reputation, competitions, and getting started.
What is TradeCast?
TradeCast is a professional trader reputation network that turns source-tracked MT5 activity into proof, credibility, discovery, and competition.
Does TradeCast place trades?
No. TradeCast does not open, modify, or close trades and never trades on your behalf.
Is TradeCast read-only?
Yes. TradeCast is designed to observe trading activity without trading permission or control of your account.
Do I need to change how I trade?
No. Keep trading through your usual MT5 workflow. TradeCast captures the lifecycle in the background.
How does TradeCast connect to MT5?
TradeCast Cloud is the recommended setup. It runs 24/7 without keeping MT5 open. Connect EA is available as an alternative inside your own MT5 terminal.
Do I need to share MT5 credentials?
TradeCast Cloud uses encrypted MT5 read-only access for monitoring. If you prefer not to use TradeCast Cloud, Connect EA can run inside your own MT5 terminal instead.
Do I need to publish trade updates?
No. TradeCast Basic works privately. Publishing is optional and comes after you choose to make your reputation public.
Is TradeCast only for people selling signals?
No. TradeCast is for traders who want to build credibility, earn trust, and get discovered through performance they can prove.
Which brokers are supported?
TradeCast supports MT5-based workflows. Availability can depend on the broker server, symbol naming, and account connection method.
Can I use TradeCast with prop firms?
Potentially, where the prop firm provides MT5 access and permits read-only monitoring. You remain responsible for following its rules.
What is the TradeCast trader network?
It is TradeCast's discovery layer for traders whose reputations are built from source-tracked performance rather than screenshots or self-reported results.
What is TradeCast Play?
TradeCast Play is a learning and discovery experience built around trade replays and real trading history captured by TradeCast.
What is included in TradeCast Basic?
One trading account, trade history, dashboard analytics, public profile eligibility, competitions, Discover, messaging, and TradeCast Cloud or Connect EA access where available.
What does TradeCast Pro add?
Pro is earned through reputation, not bought. It recognizes consistency, improves credibility, and gives stronger visibility as the network grows.
What are distribution tools?
Distribution tools are a future application-based path for trusted traders to share verified activity through approved external channels.
Do I need Telegram to use TradeCast?
No. TradeCast is the destination. Telegram may become an optional distribution channel for approved Verified Traders.
Do I need WhatsApp to use TradeCast?
No. TradeCast works independently of WhatsApp. External messaging channels are optional distribution paths, not the core product.
Will TradeCast offer copy trading?
Copy trading may become an optional distribution feature later. It is not live today, and any future use would require explicit opt-in and compliance by traders.
How much does TradeCast cost?
TradeCast Basic starts free with one trading account. Pro is earned. Distribution tools are planned as application-based features for trusted traders.
How do I join?
Create your TradeCast account, connect MT5, and start building your TradeCast reputation.
