Setup component
Broker account
A broker account is required because all trades are executed directly on your own account. The SFCM framework does not use shared accounts. Every client operates independently with their own capital and their own execution environment.

This is required before your execution setup can go live.
Why a broker is required
You execute trades on your own capital
You keep full control over your own account
There is no shared risk between clients
MT5 places orders directly on your broker account
Your results remain fully separated from every other client
Why OANDA
The framework is structured around OANDA-compatible execution. OANDA provides a stable environment for structured automated workflows and fits the execution model used in the SFCM infrastructure.
• Reliable execution environment
• Suitable for structured MT5 workflows
• Clear broker-side account separation
• Strong fit for independent client execution
Important
The broker account is where the final trade is executed. It is not the signal source and not the server. For the full framework to work correctly, you still need TradingView, your VPS, and MetaTrader 5.
