How to connect Cursor to your FTMO account

1. Add TraderWAI to Cursor

Works in Cursor (Agent).

1. In Cursor go to Settings → Tools & MCP → «Add new MCP server».
2. Or paste the configuration below into ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
3. Click «Login» / «Connect» next to traderwai and sign in with Google.
4. Use the chat in Agent mode and ask for what you need.

2. Connect your FTMO account

In TraderWAI, add your FTMO account with the platform it uses:

The platforms each firm offers can change; check which one your account uses in your FTMO dashboard.

3. Ask Cursor

Try one of these in a new chat:

• «Show me the gold H1 chart and tell me where the key levels are.»
• «What positions do I have open and how much am I risking?»
• «Prepare a buy limit on EUR/USD at yesterday's low with a 20-pip stop and a 2R target. I'll approve it.»

FTMO with your AI, step by step

FTMO gives each challenge, verification and FTMO Account its own MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 or cTrader login. You connect that login to TraderWAI and your AI works on it, with risk limits you set to match FTMO's objectives.

1. Add https://mcp.traderwai.com to your AI as a custom connector (MCP server).
2. Open FTMO Client Area → Credentials for the account you want: login, master password and server.
3. In TraderWAI add it as MetaTrader (Trader plan) or, if the account is on cTrader, connect it with your cTrader ID (free plan).
4. Set your risk limits (maximum daily loss, drawdown, risk per trade) a little tighter than FTMO's and keep orders on manual approval.

Example prompt for Cursor

«Check my FTMO account: equity, today's P/L and how far I am from my daily loss limit. Then look at EUR/USD on M15 and, only if there is a clean setup, prepare an order risking 0.25% with a stop loss. I'll approve it.»

Every order carries a stop loss, is checked against your risk limits and waits for your approval unless you turn on auto-execution for that symbol.

FTMO and TraderWAI: what to know

• FTMO offers MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader (plus TradingView). TraderWAI connects MT4, MT5 and cTrader accounts.
• Your login, password and server are in the FTMO Client Area under Credentials. Use the master password: the read-only (investor) password cannot place trades.
• cTrader accounts connect with your cTrader ID, and cTrader works on TraderWAI's free plan.
• FTMO offers a free trial that works like a simplified challenge.
• Read FTMO's trading rules before automating anything: FTMO lists forbidden practices, such as copying third-party trades, high-frequency trading and latency arbitrage. Your TraderWAI risk limits help you respect daily loss and drawdown limits, but the rules are FTMO's.

Respect the rules of your FTMO challenge

Breaking a rule can cost you the account. In TraderWAI you set risk limits that are checked before any order reaches your broker:

• Maximum daily loss and maximum position size.
• Maximum drawdown and maximum risk per trade (which requires a stop loss on the order).
• Daily limits on the number of orders.
• Orders always need your approval unless you allow auto-execution for a symbol.
