Frequently Asked Questions

OneTapTrade is a trading automation platform that allows traders to create, test, automate and deploy trading strategies from one place. It is built to help traders spend less time monitoring charts while maintaining control over their strategies, risk and accounts.

Getting started is simple. Create your OneTapTrade account using your email or Google account, complete the onboarding process, and connect a supported MT5 trading account. Once connected, you can create or configure a strategy, backtest it and deploy it when you're ready.

No. OneTapTrade currently operates on a paid subscription model. The platform is available for $99 per month or $999 per year.

No. OneTapTrade does not require KYC to create an account. We do have a short onboarding process to help you get set up and understand the platform.

Currently, you need to connect a supported trading account to use the platform's trading automation features.

OneTapTrade currently supports FXPro for broker-based trading through MT5.

Support for additional brokers may be introduced as the platform develops.

OneTapTrade connects to your MT5 account through our API connection. You will need your MT5 login ID, password and server name to connect your account.

Once connected, your account can be managed through the OneTapTrade platform.

No. OneTapTrade is a technology company and does not hold, manage or custody customer funds.

Your funds remain with your broker or prop firm. OneTapTrade provides the technology used to automate and manage trading activity on your connected account.

Yes. OneTapTrade supports compatible prop-firm accounts, including FXIFY and FTMO, through MT5.

Yes. Once your compatible prop-firm MT5 account is connected, you can choose the account within the OneTapTrade automation controls, configure your risk settings and deploy your strategy.

You remain responsible for ensuring that your strategy and trading activity comply with your prop firm's rules.

No. You obtain your prop-firm account directly from the relevant provider. OneTapTrade provides the technology to automate trading on your compatible account.

Yes. OneTapTrade allows you to turn your trading ideas and rules into automated strategies.

However, it is important to understand that a human trader and an algorithm do not interpret the market in exactly the same way. A trader may use experience, discretion, context or visual judgement, while an algorithm follows the rules and conditions it has been given.

Because of this, an automated version of a manually traded strategy may produce different results. The clearer and more objective the rules are, the more accurately they can be translated into automation.

No. OneTapTrade is designed to make strategy automation accessible without requiring you to be a developer.

You can define your trading logic and use the platform's tools to turn your idea into an automated strategy.

Yes. OneTapTrade includes AI-assisted strategy creation that can help translate a trading idea into an automated strategy.

However, AI cannot guarantee a 100% identical interpretation of your strategy. The resulting strategy should therefore be reviewed, tested and refined before deployment.

Yes. OneTapTrade is designed to allow traders to refine their strategies and adjust their trading logic before deploying them.

Yes. Backtesting is an important part of the OneTapTrade workflow.

You can test your strategy against historical market data and evaluate its performance before deciding whether to deploy it.

Depending on the strategy and data available, you can review key performance metrics including:

• Win rate
• Profit factor
• Drawdown
• Number of trades
• Equity curve
• Average win and loss
• Overall strategy performance

The OneTapTrade backtester is connected to MT5 and Exness data sources, allowing market data to be pulled into the backtesting environment.

However, results can vary between brokers and trading environments.

Backtesting cannot perfectly reproduce every condition of live trading.

Differences can occur because of factors such as spread, slippage, latency, execution conditions and differences in market data between brokers or platforms.

If you trade with a different broker or platform from the data source used for your backtest, your live results may therefore differ.

A human trader can use discretion, experience, market context and visual interpretation when making trading decisions.

An automated strategy does not have that same human discretion. It follows the rules and conditions it has been programmed to follow.

This means an automated strategy may enter, exit or manage a trade differently from how you would have traded it manually.

Once you are satisfied with your strategy and are ready to automate it, you can deploy it directly through OneTapTrade.

Select the account you want to use, configure your risk settings and deploy the automation.

Yes. Your connected accounts are available within the automation controls, allowing you to select the account you want to deploy your strategy to.

Yes. OneTapTrade allows you to configure account-level risk limits.

For example, you could set a daily risk limit of $100 and an overall limit of $400.

If your configured limit is reached, the running automations can be stopped for the day and resume according to the configured rules on the following trading day.

When a configured account-level limit is reached, OneTapTrade can stop the running automations for that account.

This is designed to help prevent the system from continuing to trade beyond the risk parameters you have established.

• Account balance
• Equity
• Open positions
• Current P&L
• Trade history
• Bot status
• Strategy status
• Performance information
• Risk information

This allows you to monitor your automated trading without having to manage everything directly through MT5.

OneTapTrade brings the core components of trading automation together in one ecosystem.

Instead of having to find separate tools for strategy creation, backtesting, automation, deployment and monitoring, OneTapTrade is designed to bring them together in one place.

• You choose the account.
• You decide when to deploy.
• And you remain in control.
