Change EA settings from your phone.
“Set the gold EA to low risk”, “lot size 0.05 on EURUSD Trend” — one message, a before → after preview, your yes, and the new inputs are live on the VPS.
An EA's settings are its inputs, stored in the chart template. AlgoHand knows each EA's inputs and their safe ranges, writes a new template with your change, re-applies it on the terminal and reads the inputs back — so a typo cannot reach a live account and the result is verified, not assumed.
The EA restarts and keeps its 2 positions. Apply?
BTC Grid is on low. All three inputs read back from the terminal as applied.
From a sentence to a verified input
Say it or pick a preset
Name the EA and the change. Reviewed presets (low / medium / high) bundle several inputs; a single input works too, by its name.
See the exact diff
The preview lists every input that changes, old → new, and says whether the EA restarts and what it has open. Out-of-range values are refused before that point.
Confirm and read back
After your yes the agent writes the template, re-applies the chart and reads the inputs back from MetaTrader. The chat shows the readback.
What can be changed by chat
Risk presets
Per EA, reviewed once — which inputs, which values. The assistant shows the diff every time, so a preset is never a black box.
Single inputs
Lot size, stops, spreads, sessions — any input the EA exposes, within the range reviewed for it. Enum values and unsafe ranges always get a human review first.
What is refused
Inputs outside their range, magic-number changes with open positions, and any restart of an EA whose restart safety is not verified while it holds positions.
What you need
Your EAs, described once.
- MetaTrader 5 on a Windows VPS with the AlgoHand agent connected
- Your EA onboarded — the inputs are read from the terminal, the assistant drafts the description, you review it
- A phone with the dashboard chat or Telegram; nothing to install
Questions people ask
Which inputs can be changed?
Any input the EA exposes, once it is reviewed with a safe range. During onboarding the inputs are read from the terminal and the assistant drafts descriptions; you confirm which ones are changeable and within what limits.
Does changing a setting restart the EA?
Yes — MetaTrader applies inputs through the chart template, so every change is a restart. The preview says so, and for EAs with open positions the restart safety must be verified first.
What if I mistype a value?
The value is checked against the reviewed range before the preview; an impossible or dangerous value is refused with the allowed range. Nothing reaches the terminal without your confirmation.
Can my own AI assistant do this for me?
Yes. The same commands are available through the REST API, ready-made tool schemas for Claude, and an MCP server; every change still goes through the same validation and confirmation.
