Connect IC Markets to CRX

IC Markets MT5 — Login, Password, Server.

These forex brokers connect via MT5 Login + Password + Server — not a REST API key. CRX routes orders through the MT5 bridge (Windows PC with MetaTrader 5 + MT5_BRIDGE_URL).

Before you connect
  • CRX rejects crypto keys that can withdraw.
  • Funds stay in your venue wallet — CRX never holds capital.

Step 1 — On IC Markets

Get MT5 credentials from IC Markets

Use your IC Markets MetaTrader 5 login. Server names differ for Raw vs Standard — copy from MT5 exactly.

01

Open IC Markets & create MT5 account

Sign in to IC Markets. Client Area → Trading Accounts → MetaTrader 5. Open or request a MetaTrader 5 account (demo recommended first). Download MT5 from IC Markets if you have not already.

  • Use MT5 account type — not cTrader-only unless you also have MT5
  • Note Demo vs Live — server name differs
  • Complete KYC if required before live MT5
02

Copy Login, Password & Server

In the IC Markets client area or MT5 terminal (File → Login to Trade Account), copy the numeric Login, trading Password, and exact Server string.

  • Login — numeric MT5 account number
  • Password — MT5 trading password (may differ from website login)
  • Server — e.g. ICMarketsSC-Demo or ICMarketsSC-MT5 (Raw/Standard server varies)
  • Server spelling must match exactly — including spaces and suffixes
03

Prepare MT5 bridge (required)

IC Markets does not offer a direct REST API for CRX. Orders route through MetaTrader 5 on a Windows PC. Install MT5, log in once, and set MT5_BRIDGE_URL on the CRX server (see docs/LIVE-LOCAL-TEST.md).

  • Windows PC with MetaTrader 5 logged in to your account
  • CRX MT5 bridge service running and reachable
  • Use a dedicated MT5 account for automation if possible

Step 2 — In CRX

How to connect in CRX
