The product is the company’s first in-house artificial intelligence project and is positioned to allow traders to interact with their own MetaTrader 5 trading accounts in a faster and more flexible way. It should be noted that “DB Investing” here is not affiliated with Deutsche Bank of Germany. It is an independent broker founded in 2018.
According to the company’s statement, the solution allows DB Investing clients to connect mainstream artificial intelligence platforms directly to MetaTrader 5 by adding their own AIAPIkeys. Supported integrations include ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and other compatible AI endpoints. Traders can therefore continue using AI software they are already familiar with to analyse accounts, view real-time market prices, assess open positions and generate trading instructions within a unified MT5 interface.
Operating Mechanism: Real-Time Account Data Is Read and Then Processed by the Selected AI
The system can read real-time account data such as balance, equity, margin, open positions and market prices, then combine that information with prompts entered by the trader and send it to the selected AI provider through a secure connection. The content returned by the AI covers market analysis, trading strategies, risk assessment and structured trading instructions. The company emphasises that all trades must be explicitly confirmed by the trader before execution. DB Investing Chief Executive Officer Gennaro Lanza commented on the product positioning:
“Most traders already use artificial intelligence to research markets, understand news, test strategies and improve decision-making. The issue is that artificial intelligence usually operates outside the trading platform. With MT5 AI Assistant, we have integrated traders’ preferred AI software directly into MT5.”
Lanza also said this is the company’s first in-house artificial intelligence project, with several further AI projects still in preparation. Future applications are expected to cover trading, education, customer support, risk management and partner experience.
Setup Process: A Plug-in Format Simplifies Traditional AI Integration Steps
The company said the assistant is designed to remove the technical barriers that previously hindered retail traders from adopting AI-based trading workflows. Traditional AI integration usually involves the following steps:
installing thePythonruntime environment;
using command-line tools for operations;
configuring servers;
handling complexJSONfiles;
relying on third-party bridge programmes to complete the connection.
MT5 AI Assistant consolidates the above process into a clear operating path. Traders can enable it in the following order:
install the plug-in;
connect the plug-in to MetaTrader 5;
select the preferred AI provider;
add the corresponding API key;
start interacting with the trading account through AI.
Privacy and Risk Control: Keys Are Stored Locally and Trading Volume Is Capped
The solution is designed around flexibility, control and privacy protection. Traders can connect API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity or other compatible providers, allowing them to choose their own AI model rather than being tied to a single system.(Source: FX News Group, DB Investing launches MT5 AI Assistant, published: 2026-07-09.) In terms of data processing, API keys are stored in the trader’s local MetaTrader 5 environment, MT5 login credentials are not shared with AI providers, and communication with AI providers is completed through secureHTTPSconnections. In addition, clients can set their own trading limits, including the maximum trading volume that AI-generated orders must not exceed. All operations retain manual review and require final confirmation by the trader. The table below summarises the key parameters of the product:
