MT5Account · Account Information — Overview¶
Quick guide to the four primitives that expose account metadata via gRPC. Use this page to choose the right call fast. Links below jump to the full specs.
📁 What lives here¶
- AccountSummary — one call, core metrics bundle (balance, equity, leverage, currency, trade mode, server time, credit).
- AccountInfoDouble — one numeric metric by enum (equity, margin, margin level, etc.).
- AccountInfoInteger — one integer property by enum (login, leverage, flags/modes, currency digits).
- AccountInfoString — one label by enum (name, server, currency, company).
🧭 Plain English¶
- AccountSummary → the "full blood panel" for your account: a compact bundle you can print to see if things look sane.
- AccountInfoDouble → one gauge reading (a single float).
- AccountInfoInteger → switches & knobs (integers, often 0/1 flags or mode codes).
- AccountInfoString → labels on the dashboard (human names/brands/currency codes).
Rule of thumb: need many basics at once →
AccountSummary
. Need one specific field → pick one of theAccountInfo*
calls.
Quick choose¶

🟡 Cross‑refs & gotchas¶
- Formatting money? Combine
AccountInfoString.ACCOUNT_CURRENCY
withAccountInfoInteger.ACCOUNT_CURRENCY_DIGITS
. - Margin level is percent.
AccountInfoDouble.ACCOUNT_MARGIN_LEVEL
is already %, not a fraction. - Flags are ints. Many boolean-like fields are
0/1
integers (e.g.,ACCOUNT_TRADE_ALLOWED
).
Minimal snippets¶
# Summary (bundle)
sum = await acct.account_summary()
print(sum.account_equity, sum.account_currency)
# One float
equity = await acct.account_info_double(account_info_pb2.AccountInfoDoublePropertyType.ACCOUNT_EQUITY)
# One int (digits)
digits = await acct.account_info_integer(account_info_pb2.AccountInfoIntegerPropertyType.ACCOUNT_CURRENCY_DIGITS)
# One string (currency)
curr = await acct.account_info_string(account_info_pb2.AccountInfoStringPropertyType.ACCOUNT_CURRENCY)
