Server-side mapping
Check symbol suffixes, digit precision, contract size, session schedules and quote currencies against the actual MT5 environment. A matching display name does not establish that two instruments share the same specification.

CFD Data Feed for MT5
Connect a CFD pricing workflow to MT5 only after reconciling the feed catalogue with the server's instrument configuration.
Acceptance in a test environment
Exercise a session transition, an upstream disconnect and a precision change in staging. Record how the chosen gateway or integration path handles stale prices and recovery before moving broker instruments into production.
Requirements to confirm
- MT5 instrument export
- Gateway or integration method
- Staging environment access
- Session and reconnect test cases
Bring the proposed instrument list, source documentation and consumer workflow to a technical discussion. The agreed integration specification defines coverage, fields, usage permissions and acceptance tests.
Integration brief
CFD Data Feed for MT5: what to agree before connecting
| Platform scope | Confirm MT4, MT5 or the actual broker platform and the agreed test environment. |
|---|---|
| Symbol mapping | Review source identifiers, broker suffixes, digits, sessions and missing-symbol behaviour. |
| Adapter ownership | Define which team owns source connectivity, adapter configuration and platform settings. |
| Acceptance | Test ticks, charts, reconnects and the agreed fallback behaviour before production use. |
Map source definitions to the broker environment
For your instrument universe, confirm the platform version, server environment and permitted integration path before onboarding. Symbol naming, price precision, sessions and history must remain consistent between the adapter and the platform catalogue.
What to test
- Compare a known source observation with the broker terminal output.
- Reconnect the adapter and verify the first current symbol update.
- Confirm that history and live output use the same instrument definition.
