MT5 allows you to share a read-only view of your account using an Investor Password.

Updated today

What Is an Investor Password?

The Investor Password gives read-only access to your MT5 account. Anyone who logs in with this password can see your trades, balance, and history — but cannot open, modify, or close any positions.

When to Use It

  • Sharing your trading performance with a mentor or investor

  • Allowing a signal service to verify your results

  • Showing your track record to a prop trading firm

  • Letting a friend monitor your account without risk

How to Set an Investor Password

1. In MT5, go to Tools → Options → Server

2. Click Change Password

3. Select Change Investor (Read Only) Password

4. Enter and confirm your new investor password

5. Click OK

Security Notes

  • The Investor Password cannot be used to trade or withdraw funds

  • Change it regularly if you've shared it

  • If you suspect misuse, change both your main and investor passwords immediately
