Connect Pepperstone to CRX

Pepperstone MT5 credentials for CRX.

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
  • Dedicated MT5 account recommended.
  • Disconnect in CRX to stop automation.

Step 1 — On Pepperstone

Get MT5 credentials from Pepperstone

Pepperstone MT5 account → copy Login, Password, Server → paste in CRX Venue Connection.

01

Open Pepperstone & create MT5 account

Sign in to Pepperstone. Secure Client Area → Accounts → MetaTrader. Open or request a MetaTrader 5 account (demo recommended first). Download MT5 from Pepperstone 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 Pepperstone 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. Pepperstone-MT5-Live01 or Pepperstone-MT5-Demo
  • Server spelling must match exactly — including spaces and suffixes
03

Prepare MT5 bridge (required)

Pepperstone 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
