WORLD MARKET EXECUTION

Mobile-first trading with controlled live activation

Pepperstone and MetaTrader 5 are part of the owner-declared Nelkins Trade stack. MT5 mobile can be used immediately for manual review and execution of a Nelkins risk-approved ticket. Direct automated broker submission remains separately certified and cannot bypass the risk engine.

PERSONAL TRADE STACK2/4MT5 mobile registered · Pepperstone API path available by approval
LIVE WORKFLOW OPEN · OWNER APPROVAL REQUIREDNelkins can prepare a live trade ticket for review and manual execution in the logged-in MT5 mobile app without a Windows terminal. Automatic order submission is still fail-closed until Pepperstone Standard API access is approved and a separately reviewed live adapter passes every certification control below.

No Windows terminal required for manual execution

MT5 MOBILE READY
