﻿SNIPERS MT5 BRIDGE v08
=========================

The Bridge lets the IndicatorGrid dashboard read price data from the MetaTrader 5
terminal on THIS PC. It only runs on your own computer (127.0.0.1) and is not
reachable from the internet.

STEPS
-----
1. Install Python from https://python.org. During setup, tick
   "Add python.exe to PATH".
2. Open MetaTrader 5 and log in to your account.
3. Double-click run_mt5_bridge_v08.bat. The first run installs the packages it needs.
   Keep the window open while you use the dashboard.
4. Open the dashboard and set Source = "MT5 via Bridge".
5. When your browser shows a "Local network access" prompt, click Allow,
   then click "Check again" in the dashboard.

SAFE TO RUN
-----------
The Bridge is read-only: it only reads price candles (open/high/low/close/volume) of the symbols you view.
- It never asks for, sees or stores your MT5 login, password or investor password. It uses the MT5 terminal you already logged in to yourself.
- It does not read your account balance, positions or orders, and it has no function to place, modify or close trades.
- It only answers the IndicatorGrid dashboard in your own browser (127.0.0.1); it is not reachable from the internet.

To stop it, close the Bridge window.
