How to Run the MT5 WebTrader on Your Own Domain

The options for serving the MT5 WebTrader on a domain like trade.yourbrand.com: what you need, how DNS and SSL work, and why edge delivery is the simplest route.

Key takeaways
  • Use a dedicated subdomain such as trade.yourbrand.com.
  • The domain must be managed in Cloudflare for edge delivery.
  • SSL is issued and renewed automatically by Cloudflare.
  • Setup is typically completed the same day.

1. Choose the address

Most brokers use a subdomain of their main site, such as trade.yourbrand.com or webtrader.yourbrand.com. It is easy to remember, reinforces your brand and keeps the terminal separate from your marketing website.

2. Put the domain on Cloudflare

For edge delivery, your domain’s DNS must be managed by Cloudflare. If it is not already, you add the domain to a Cloudflare account and update the nameservers at your registrar. The free Cloudflare plan is enough for many brokers.

3. Deploy the Worker and connect the subdomain

A Cloudflare Worker is deployed in your account and attached to the subdomain. Cloudflare issues an SSL certificate automatically, so the terminal is on HTTPS from the first minute.

4. Configure branding and access

Settings are stored as environment variables: company name, contact details, website link, trading server, source WebTrader address, legal links, end-user text and login ranges. You can edit them in the Cloudflare dashboard at any time.

5. Test and launch

  • Log in with a test account inside your allowed ranges.
  • Check quotes, charts and order placement (WebSocket traffic).
  • Confirm your company details and legal links are shown.
  • Try an account outside the ranges and confirm it is refused.
  • Add the terminal link to your website and client area.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my main domain instead of a subdomain?

You can, but a subdomain keeps your website and terminal separate, which is simpler to manage.

Who owns the setup?

You do. The Worker runs in your Cloudflare account on your domain.
