Deriv and TraderWAI: what to know
- Deriv offers Deriv MT5 and Deriv cTrader, plus its own Deriv Trader. TraderWAI connects MT5 and cTrader accounts (cTrader on TraderWAI's free plan); Deriv Trader is not connected directly. Deriv X has been phased out.
- Deriv cTrader has free demo accounts, so you can try your AI on a demo first.
- To connect Deriv MT5 you need the login ID and server name from your MT5 account details: click Details on that MT5 account. The MT5 password is separate from your Deriv login.
- Use the MT5 trading password, not an investor password: Deriv lets you set an investor password for an MT5 account, and that one is read-only.
What Cursor can do with your Deriv account
- Read live charts in any timeframe, with the indicators you ask for.
- Check your balance, open positions and pending orders.
- Backtest a strategy idea on historical data before risking anything.
- Prepare market, limit and stop orders with stop loss and take profit that you approve.
- Leave conditional orders that TraderWAI watches every minute.
