Answers to common questions about Archomata and our automated trading platform.
Archomata is an automated forex trading platform that lets you manage Expert Advisors (EAs), run backtests, deploy strategies to MT5 broker accounts, and monitor open positions in real time. The platform includes AI-powered analysis for strategy research and backtest interpretation.
Archomata connects to your MetaTrader 5 broker accounts through lightweight bridge agents that run on Windows. You upload your Expert Advisors to the platform, run backtests to validate their performance, and then deploy them to live accounts with a single click.
The platform continuously monitors your positions, tracks equity and balance changes, and enforces risk controls like kill switch thresholds. An AI agent service provides automated backtest analysis and strategy recommendations.

Archomata is built for individual traders, trading firms, family offices, and fund managers who run automated strategies on the MetaTrader 5 platform. It is particularly well-suited for teams managing multiple accounts and Expert Advisors who need institutional-grade risk controls and organisation-level isolation.
Archomata works with any broker that supports the MetaTrader 5 platform. The MT5 bridge agent connects directly to your broker through the standard MT5 terminal, so there is no dependency on specific broker APIs or integrations. If you can run MT5, you can use Archomata.
The kill switch is a safety mechanism that automatically closes all open positions on an account when the drawdown exceeds a configurable threshold. Each account can have its own kill switch settings, including trailing drawdown support. This protects your capital from unexpected market conditions or EA malfunctions.
Yes. Archomata supports full multi-tenancy with organisation-level data isolation. You can create multiple organisations, each with their own accounts, EAs, strategies, and team members. Users can switch between organisations using the org switcher in the navigation bar.
The AI agent service, powered by Claude, analyses backtest results to provide insights on strategy performance. It can identify patterns, suggest parameter optimisations, and flag potential risks. The system uses a human-in-the-loop approach where all AI recommendations are reviewed before being applied.

Archomata does not store your broker login passwords. The MT5 bridge agent runs on your own infrastructure (a Windows machine with MT5 installed) and authenticates directly with your broker. The agent communicates with the Archomata API using a separate API key that is bcrypt-hashed at rest.
No. All trading actions go through the command queue system. Commands are created explicitly through the dashboard or through deployed Expert Advisors that you have configured. Every command is logged, and you can view the full history of all actions taken on your accounts through the audit log.
The MT5 bridge agent requires a Windows machine (physical or virtual) with MetaTrader 5 installed. The agent is a lightweight Python application that polls the Archomata API for commands and executes them against the local MT5 terminal. It runs continuously in the background and supports graceful shutdown.
Yes. The platform includes MQ5 compiler integration, allowing you to compile Expert Advisors directly through the workflow. The AI agent can also assist with EA development by generating code suggestions and reviewing your MQ5 files, with human approval required before any code is deployed.
Yes. Archomata exposes a full REST API built on FastAPI. All operations available in the dashboard are also available through the API, including EA management, backtesting, deployment, position monitoring, and organisation administration. API documentation is available in the docs section.
