# MQL5 Signals Scraper — Copy-Trading Provider Stats (`nick.i/mql5-signals-scraper`) Actor Scrapes public MQL5 Signals listings (copy-trading providers for MetaTrader 4/5): signal name, provider, growth %, subscribers, subscription price, rating, real/demo account flag and optional equity curve. For copy-trading research, provider monitoring and ranking analysis. - **URL**: https://apify.com/nick.i/mql5-signals-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Nick Illig](https://apify.com/nick.i) (community) - **Categories:** Business, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## MQL5 Signals Scraper — Copy-Trading Provider Stats Scrapes **public MQL5 Signals listings** (the copy-trading marketplace for MetaTrader 4/5) and returns structured provider data. ### Output fields | Field | Example | |---|---| | `signalId` / `url` | `2359404` / `https://www.mql5.com/en/signals/2359404` | | `title` | `Lucky Cat MT5` | | `author` / `authorProfile` | `Jian Tu` / profile URL | | `growthPct` / `growthLabel` | `441.0` / `growth since 2026` | | `subscribers` | `45` | | `priceMonthly` / `currency` | `30` / `USD` | | `rating` / `reviewsCount` | `2.67` / `2` | | `isRealAccount` | `true` (real vs demo account) | | `providerCountry` | `CN` | | `equityCurve` (optional) | `[[1768780800, 0], [1768867200, 0.37], …]` | ### Use cases - **Copy-trading research**: filter providers by growth, price, real-account status and subscriber count instead of clicking through hundreds of pages. - **Provider monitoring**: schedule daily runs and track growth/subscriber changes over time — spot rising providers before they get expensive. - **Market analysis**: price distributions, country breakdowns, demo-vs-real ratios per section (Forex, Gold, Crypto, trusted). ### Sections - **Main list** (default): the full ranked table view — richest data per signal, including `profitFactor`, `maxDrawdownPct`, `trades`, `profitableTradesPct`, `weeks` (track record length), `algoTradingPct`, `expectedPayoff`, `leverage`, `subscribersFunds`. - **Reliability (trusted), Live accounts, Forex, Gold, Crypto**: curated card views with growth, subscribers, price, rating and provider country. ### Fair use Reads public listing pages only, 1 request / 2 seconds, no login. Signal performance data is self-reported to MQL5 by the platform; always do your own due diligence before subscribing to any signal. # Actor input Schema ## `platform` (type: `string`): MetaTrader signals section ## `section` (type: `string`): Which listing to scrape ## `maxPages` (type: `integer`): Listing pages to fetch ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Hard cap on signals pushed to the dataset ## `includeEquityCurve` (type: `boolean`): Include the sparkline equity curve as [timestamp, growthPct] pairs (increases item size) ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Proxy settings; Apify proxy is recommended ## Actor input object example ```json { "platform": "mt5", "section": "list", "maxPages": 3, "maxItems": 300, "includeEquityCurve": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("nick.i/mql5-signals-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
