FundedNext’s MetaTrader 5 (MT5) integration introduces a major upgrade to your trading workflow. Traders can now launch MT5 straight from the FundedNext dashboard—no separate software needed. This streamlined access provides faster execution, better server connectivity, and seamless management of your funded accounts. Whether you’re an active scalper or a swing trader, this enhancement gives you more control, more speed, and more simplicity.
What Is MetaTrader 5?
MetaTrader 5 (MT5) is a powerful, multi-asset trading platform created by MetaQuotes in 2010. It’s designed for professional and retail traders alike, offering advanced charting tools, support for algorithmic trading (via Expert Advisors), hedging capabilities, and one-click order execution. It’s widely used in prop trading and retail forex due to its speed, flexibility, and depth of features.
Why This Integration Matters
Until now, trading with FundedNext required switching between platforms—copy trades, connect brokers, launch desktop MT5. With this direct dashboard integration, you now get everything in one place. From opening trades to viewing analytics, everything is connected under one interface optimized for funded trading.
In-Dashboard Convenience
With the new MT5 terminal embedded directly into the FundedNext dashboard, you no longer need to install external applications or switch platforms. Simply log in to your FundedNext account, launch MT5, and begin trading—all from your browser. This is ideal for traders using multiple devices or working remotely, as no downloads or configurations are required.
Speed and Security via GrowthNext Server
FundedNext has also launched its proprietary GrowthNext server, a next-generation MT5 server architecture designed for faster execution and lower latency. This custom server enhances trade reliability and reduces delays, especially during high-volatility market conditions. GrowthNext is exclusive to FundedNext and engineered for prop traders who need performance at scale.
Broker License Context
This integration follows FundedNext’s strategic expansion, including securing a regulated broker license. This move positions FundedNext as one of the few prop firms offering a fully licensed MT5 experience. The license ensures compliance, investor protection, and stable infrastructure for high-volume traders.

Switching Between Accounts

Use the account navigator panel in MT5 to toggle between accounts or log out and re-authenticate with different credentials. This is especially useful for managing multiple challenge stages or funded tiers.
MT5 Features on FundedNext

Usage Tips for FundedNext MT5
