Estimate your MT5 infrastructure tier.
Use workload inputs to produce an indicative capacity tier and topology recommendation. This is a planning calculator rather than an official MetaTrader sizing specification.
Growth architecture
Use the score as a conversation starter, not a procurement list.
Capacity is affected by real quote rates, plugins, reports, integrations, session behavior, network design and platform configuration. Measure the current environment when possible and size from observed peaks.
Bring real workload evidence to the review.
CPU and memory utilization, storage latency, network throughput, concurrent sessions, connection errors, quote freshness and external endpoint latency make the next sizing decision much more reliable.
Capacity calculator questions
Is the calculator a hardware specification?
No. It estimates an architecture tier from workload indicators. Exact CPU, memory, storage and network requirements depend on the platform configuration, integrations and measured behavior.
Why does concurrency matter more than account total?
Concurrent connections and peak activity determine the instantaneous load on access, network and service layers more directly than the number of dormant accounts.
Can I use the result for an existing MT5 environment?
Yes. Compare the estimate with observed utilization and incident history, then use the gap as an input to a capacity review.
