MT5 Bridge
Setup, connection and troubleshooting for the Kite ↔ MT5 Bridge.
What the Bridge does
The TradexCodez MT5 Bridge connects MetaTrader 5 to your own Zerodha Kite Connect subscription. It creates the NSE, NFO, BSE, BFO and MCX symbols inside MT5 as custom symbols, streams live prices into them, builds charts on all 21 timeframes, and routes orders back out to your broker. It runs on your machine under your own API keys — there is no middleman server holding your credentials or your order flow.
Product details and pricing are on the MT5 Bridge page. This section is for running it.
What each guide covers
First-time setup walks through what you need before you begin, getting your Kite API key and secret, the install steps themselves, what a healthy first run looks like on screen, how to verify the feed properly before you put money behind it, what to do when a step does not happen, and the one thing worth planning for in advance.
Fixing connection drops and reconnects covers the common causes, the order to work through them in, what it means when symbols are present but prices sit frozen, how to tell when the problem is not your setup at all, what reduces the chance of it happening again, and exactly what to send us if you still need a hand.
If you are not sure which you need: a bridge that has never worked is a setup problem, and a bridge that worked yesterday and does not today is almost always the access token, which is covered in the connection guide.
Before you contact support
Two checks resolve most reports on their own:
- Is the bridge console still running, and what is its last
STATUSline? That single line usually identifies the problem outright. - Has the access token been regenerated today? Kite access tokens are valid for one trading day. A bridge that worked yesterday and shows nothing this morning is almost always this.
