FxSocket FAQ
Do I need to run my own MetaTrader terminal?+
No. FxSocket hosts fully managed MT4/MT5 terminals in the cloud; you only provide broker credentials.
Which programming languages are supported?+
Any language that can make HTTP requests; official SDKs exist for Python and Node.js, and OpenAPI specs let you generate clients for others.
What is the typical latency for order execution?+
Average API-to-broker latency is under 30 ms, with WebSocket price streams processed in sub-millisecond time.
Is it safe to connect my live trading account?+
Connections use TLS; you control access with full-access or read-only keys, and broker credentials are encrypted at rest.
Can I manage multiple accounts at once?+
Yes. One API key can address multiple MT4/MT5 accounts, suitable for prop firms or multi-strategy setups.
What happens if your servers go down?+
Open positions remain with your broker; outages do not close or alter trades. SLA options are available on request.
