Sync Mushroom FAQs
Pre-purchase notes for manual execution, local operation, MT5 requirements, support boundaries, and checkout-related questions.
PRODUCT SCOPE
Q1. What is Sync Mushroom?
Sync Mushroom is a local execution utility for discretionary traders. It places manual MT5 controls on a TradingView web chart and passes user-initiated order commands through a local Bridge to MT5 running on the same Windows PC.
MT5 remains the execution terminal. Sync Mushroom does not replace MT5 or your brokerage account.
Q2. What trading operations can I perform with Sync Mushroom?
Depending on the current MT5 state and broker conditions, the Sync Mushroom panel supports manual operations including:
- Market BUY and SELL
- New orders with TP and SL
- Stop and Limit pending orders
- Modification and cancellation of pending orders
- TP and SL modification for open positions
- Individual position Close
- ALL CLOSE
The user initiates each trade command.
Q3. Is Sync Mushroom automated trading or an AI trading bot?
No.
Sync Mushroom does not decide when to trade, choose a trading direction, run an automated trading strategy, or autonomously initiate trade orders.
Internal functions such as synchronization, status updates, and license verification may operate automatically, but trading decisions and order initiation remain user-controlled.
Q4. Does Sync Mushroom provide trading signals?
No.
Sync Mushroom does not generate or distribute BUY/SELL signals, entry recommendations, market forecasts, or strategy recommendations.
Q5. Does Sync Mushroom provide investment advice or asset management?
No.
OICHI EQUIPMENT provides software. Sync Mushroom does not provide investment advice, portfolio management, managed trading, brokerage, custody, or dealer/exchange services.
Q6. Is Sync Mushroom a copy-trading service?
No.
Sync Mushroom does not copy another trader's transactions or automatically reproduce trades from another account.
EXECUTION AND ARCHITECTURE
Q7. How does an order command reach MT5?
The normal local route is:TradingView → Sync Mushroom Chrome Extension → Local Bridge → MT5
The command begins with an action initiated by the user on the Sync Mushroom panel.
Q8. What happens after the command reaches MT5?
MT5 remains the execution engine.
MT5 processes the request and communicates with the broker environment associated with the account logged in to that MT5 terminal.
Final acceptance, execution, modification, cancellation, rejection, fill conditions, and related results remain subject to MT5 and the broker's trading conditions.
Q9. Does Sync Mushroom connect directly to my broker?
No.
Sync Mushroom communicates locally with your MT5 terminal. MT5 is the component that maintains the trading connection with your broker environment.
Q10. Are order commands routed through an external cloud server?
No.
Sync Mushroom does not use a public webhook URL or an external cloud order-relay service for order operations.
The order path between the Sync Mushroom panel and your local MT5 remains local to the Windows PC.
Q11. Does Sync Mushroom use TradingView webhooks or alerts to execute orders?
No.
Sync Mushroom is not a webhook automation service and does not depend on TradingView alerts to initiate trades.
Trade commands are initiated manually from the Sync Mushroom panel.
Q12. Does Sync Mushroom require an internet connection?
Yes, but this does not mean the order relay is cloud-based.
TradingView and MT5 require internet access to connect to their respective services, and Sync Mushroom uses internet access for license activation and verification.
The Sync Mushroom order handoff from the panel through the local Bridge to MT5 remains local.
Q13. Does Sync Mushroom improve my broker's execution speed?
No.
Sync Mushroom is designed to reduce user-side operating friction and keep the handoff to local MT5 efficient. It does not control or accelerate the broker's own acceptance, processing, fill, rejection, or slippage behavior.
No broker execution-speed guarantee is provided.
TRADINGVIEW, MT5, AND BROKER ENVIRONMENTS
Q14. Why use Sync Mushroom instead of switching between TradingView and MT5?
Sync Mushroom is designed to reduce the repeated screen switching, pointer movement, and visual interruption involved in analyzing a chart in TradingView and then moving to MT5 to initiate or manage an order.
It keeps the manual control surface on the TradingView web chart while MT5 remains the execution terminal.
Q15. Does Sync Mushroom replace MT5?
No.
MT5 is required and remains the final execution terminal and source for current orders, positions, trade history, and account state.
Q16. Can I use Sync Mushroom without MT5?
No.
A supported MT5 terminal must be running and connected to the trading account you intend to use.
Q17. Does Sync Mushroom launch MT5 automatically?
No.
You must start MT5 yourself, log in to the intended account, and confirm that MT5 is connected before using Sync Mushroom for execution.
Q18. Can Sync Mushroom be used with MT5 broker environments that are not available through TradingView's official broker connections?
Yes, where the MT5 environment is compatible.
Sync Mushroom uses your own local MT5 terminal as the execution target, so the broker environment does not need to be available as a TradingView official broker connection.
This does not guarantee compatibility with every broker, account type, instrument, or order condition.
Q19. Which brokers are supported?
Sync Mushroom is designed for MT5 environments rather than a fixed public list of guaranteed brokers.
Compatibility can depend on factors such as:
- Symbol availability
- Trading permissions
- Minimum and maximum lot size
- Lot step
- Stops Level
- Supported order types
- Expiration support
- Filling Mode
- Trading hours
- Broker-server acceptance rules
Always test your intended environment before relying on it.
Q20. What happens if MT5 is not running or is disconnected?
Execution operations through Sync Mushroom are blocked or unavailable.
Start MT5, log in to the intended account, confirm that it is connected to the broker server, and wait for Sync Mushroom to resynchronize.
If an urgent trading action is required, operate directly in MT5.
Q21. What happens if the TradingView symbol cannot be matched to an MT5 symbol?
Sync Mushroom cannot safely execute against an unresolved MT5 symbol.
Make sure the corresponding tradable symbol is available in MT5 Market Watch and wait for the Sync Mushroom panel to synchronize the intended MT5 symbol before sending an order.
Broker suffixes, prefixes, and symbol naming can differ from TradingView.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND RUNTIME SAFETY
Q22. What environment is required to use Sync Mushroom?
The current supported environment requires:
- Windows 11
- Google Chrome 116 or later, or an equivalent supported Chromium-based browser
- TradingView Web
- MetaTrader 5
- The included Sync Mushroom Chrome Extension
- The included Local Bridge
- Internet connectivity
Q23. Is the TradingView desktop application supported?
No.
Use TradingView in a supported web browser.
The Sync Mushroom panel is designed for the TradingView web chart.
Q24. Do the browser, Local Bridge, and MT5 need to run on the same PC?
Yes.
The supported architecture requires the browser running TradingView, the Sync Mushroom Local Bridge, and MT5 to operate on the same Windows PC.
Q25. Can I use multiple MT5 terminals at the same time?
Not for Sync Mushroom execution.
Sync Mushroom is designed to use one broker account through one MT5 terminal at a time.
If multiple MT5 terminals are detected, execution operations such as new orders, modifications, cancellations, Close, and ALL CLOSE are blocked for safety.
Q26. Does Sync Mushroom support MT4?
No.
Sync Mushroom is designed for MetaTrader 5.
Q27. Does Sync Mushroom guarantee that every submitted order will be accepted?
No.
An order can be rejected or handled differently because of broker or MT5 conditions such as lot rules, price, Stops Level, trading hours, margin, account permissions, Filling Mode, or other server-side rules.
Always verify the final result in MT5.
SYNC EVIDENCE CONSOLE
Q28. What is Sync Evidence Console?
Sync Evidence Console (SEC) is a separate companion application included with Sync Mushroom.
It reads local JSONL logs created by Sync Mushroom and organizes the recorded events into views for reviewing command flow, execution timing, synchronization, close results, and related evidence.
Q29. Is Sync Evidence Console a separate paid product?
No.
SEC is bundled with Sync Mushroom and is available with the Sync Mushroom Trial and paid license terms.
There is no standalone SEC license.
Q30. Does Sync Evidence Console use the Sync Mushroom license system itself?
SEC is a separate application and does not perform Sync Mushroom trade-license validation for its own log-review operation.
Its practical purpose depends on JSONL evidence produced by Sync Mushroom.
Q31. What information can SEC show?
Depending on what is present in the loaded logs, SEC can show information such as:
- Command flow
- MT5 request and response records
- Result codes and reasons
- Position-close and ALL CLOSE evidence
- Synchronization events
- Raw event chains
- Measured timing by processing stage
- Recorded environment context
The available information depends on the contents of the selected logs.
Q32. What does “MT5 / Broker Execution” mean in SEC?
It refers to the recorded interval around the MT5 request and response in the logged workflow.
It is not independent telemetry from inside a broker's private infrastructure.
Use the recorded request, response, result code, reason, timing, and surrounding context together when reviewing an event.
Q33. Can SEC place orders or change MT5?
No.
SEC does not place BUY or SELL orders, create or modify pending orders, change TP or SL, close positions, or modify MT5 account or terminal state.
Q34. Can SEC prove that a broker caused a delay or other problem?
No.
SEC can show where time, responses, and results appear in the recorded workflow. It does not automatically determine root cause or assign responsibility to the broker, Sync Mushroom, the user environment, or another component.
Q35. Does SEC read the current live state of MT5?
No.
SEC reviews recorded logs. It does not replace MT5 as the final source for current positions, current orders, trade history, account state, or final execution results.
Q36. How long are Sync Mushroom JSONL logs retained?
In the automatically managed log location, the current policy rotates logs in four-hour periods and automatically retains them for three days.
This automatic retention applies to the managed logging location. A JSONL file that you intentionally copy or move elsewhere does not become unusable merely because the automatic retention period has passed.
Q37. Are logs automatically uploaded to OICHI EQUIPMENT?
No.
Normal JSONL logs are stored and reviewed locally.
SEC does not automatically upload the original logs or a generated Submission Log.
Q38. What is a Submission Log?
A Submission Log is a privacy-protected support copy generated by the user from loaded SEC data.
Selected account, financial, local-path, ticket-related, and other designated fields are masked or protected while useful diagnostic context may remain.
The generated file is stored locally and is not sent automatically. Review it before sharing it with support.
14-DAY FREE TRIAL
Q39. Is there a free trial?
Yes.
Sync Mushroom provides a 14-Day Free Trial.
The Trial is separate from the paid fixed-term licenses.
Q40. Do I need a payment method to start the 14-Day Free Trial?
No.
The Trial is intended to be started without providing payment-card details.
Only the information required to issue and manage the Trial license and enforce Trial eligibility is collected.
Q41. Will I be charged automatically when the Trial ends?
No.
There is no automatic Trial-to-paid conversion and no automatic charge at the end of the 14-Day Free Trial.
If you want to continue using Sync Mushroom, you choose and purchase a paid fixed-term license yourself.
Q42. When is my Sync Mushroom license created?
Your Sync Mushroom license is created when the Trial is issued.
A 14-day Trial entitlement is attached to that license.
If you later continue with a paid term through an existing-license purchase flow, the same license can be retained.
Q43. What happens if I buy a paid license before my Trial ends?
The remaining Trial period is not discarded.
The paid term is scheduled after the Trial end date on the same license when you use a continuation purchase flow.
Q44. Can I obtain repeated free trials by using different email addresses?
The 14-Day Free Trial is intended to be available once per customer.
OICHI EQUIPMENT may use account, email, license, and device-related identifiers to enforce Trial eligibility and may refuse repeated or abusive Trial registrations.
FIXED-TERM PAID LICENSES
Q45. What paid licenses are available?
The English paid options are:
- 30-Day License
- USD 59
- 1-Year License
- USD 540
- 3-Year License
- USD 1,300
Each provides access for the stated fixed term.
Q46. Are the paid licenses subscriptions?
No.
The paid products are fixed-term one-time licenses.
You make one payment for the selected access period.
Q47. Do paid licenses renew automatically?
No.
There is no automatic renewal or recurring billing.
If you want to continue after the license term, you choose to purchase another term yourself.
Q48. What happens when my paid license expires?
Sync Mushroom execution functions become unavailable when the license no longer provides a valid execution entitlement.
Your MT5 account and any positions or orders in MT5 do not disappear because the Sync Mushroom license expires.
If an urgent operation is required, use MT5 directly.
Q49. What happens if I buy another term before my current license expires?
The newly purchased term is added after the current valid end date.
For example, purchasing a 1-Year License while an existing term is still active extends the same license by one year after its existing expiration.
Q50. What happens if I buy another term after the license has already expired?
The new paid term begins from the new purchase time rather than from the old expired end date.
There is no automatic charge for the expired period.
PURCHASE AND EXISTING-LICENSE CONTINUATION
Q51. What happens if I purchase from the License panel inside Sync Mushroom?
The in-app purchase route is intended to continue the currently registered license.
The existing license and its registered email remain associated with the account, and the successfully purchased paid term is added to that same license.
A new license key is not required for this continuation route.
Q52. Can I continue my Trial license when purchasing from the website?
Yes.
The website purchase flow can allow you to identify and verify an existing Trial license and continue that license instead of creating a new license.
After successful payment, the paid term is added to the verified existing license.
Q53. Can I purchase a completely new license from the website?
Yes.
If you intentionally choose a new-license purchase instead of continuing an existing license, a new license is issued and is not automatically merged with an existing Trial license.
Q54. Can I use a different email address when converting my Trial license to paid?
Yes, through the specific existing-license purchase flow that permits an email change.
Ownership of the existing Trial license and the new email address must be verified. The email change is committed only after the paid purchase succeeds.
If the purchase is not completed successfully, the original Trial-license email remains unchanged.
Q55. Can I change only the email address on a free-trial license without purchasing?
No.
A Trial-only email change is not supported.
Changing the email associated with an existing Trial license is permitted only as part of the verified paid-purchase continuation flow.
Q56. Will OICHI EQUIPMENT automatically merge licenses because the names or email addresses look similar?
No.
Existing-license continuation must be explicit and verified.
OICHI EQUIPMENT does not treat a similar name or email address as sufficient reason to merge separate licenses automatically.
LICENSE, DEVICES, AND RECOVERY
Q57. How many devices can I use with one standard Sync Mushroom license?
The current standard limits are:
- Up to 3 registered devices
- Up to 2 active devices at the same time
License status and execution availability remain subject to the applicable license terms.
Q58. What is the device identifier used by Sync Mushroom?
The current device_id is a locally generated random UUID.
It is not derived from CPU serial numbers, MachineGuid, MAC address, hardware serial numbers, or a hardware fingerprint.
The identifier is stored locally and is used as part of license/device management.
Q59. What should I do if I lose my license key?
Use the official license-recovery process with the email associated with the license.
Where the recovery request is verified, recovery information is sent through the designated recovery flow.
Recovery is intended to restore access to the existing license rather than create a replacement license unnecessarily.
Q60. What happens if my license or connection becomes unavailable while I have open positions?
Sync Mushroom execution functions, including Close operations, can be unavailable when the license cannot be used or the Local Bridge/MT5 connection is unavailable.
Your positions remain in MT5.
If an urgent action is required, manage the position directly in MT5.
PRIVACY, SUPPORT, PAYMENT, AND THIRD PARTIES
Q61. What trading information is automatically sent to OICHI EQUIPMENT?
Sync Mushroom does not automatically send your MT5 account number, broker name, server name, trading symbols, order details, or position information to OICHI EQUIPMENT as part of normal trading operation.
Those trading records remain in the local processing and logging environment unless you choose to share support material.
Q62. What information is used for license activation and verification?
The licensing service uses information required to manage the license session, such as the license key, the locally generated device identifier, and session/authentication-related information.
License verification is separate from the local trading-data path.
Q63. What information may support ask me to provide?
Depending on the issue, support may ask for information such as:
- Product version
- Date and time of the issue
- Description of the problem
- Steps to reproduce it
- Relevant result code or reason
- Final result shown in MT5
- A privacy-protected SEC Submission Log where appropriate
Do not send sensitive information unless it is required for the investigation.
Q64. Who handles paid checkout?
Paid transactions are processed through an external sales or payment provider.
The provider may handle payment and checkout information according to its own terms and privacy practices.
OICHI EQUIPMENT remains responsible for the Sync Mushroom licensing authority and applies the purchased entitlement after confirmed payment.
Q65. What is the refund policy?
There is no recurring subscription to cancel because paid Sync Mushroom licenses are fixed-term one-time purchases.
Any refund eligibility is governed by the published Refund Policy, Terms of Service, applicable law, and any applicable payment-provider requirements. Review the current legal terms before purchasing.
Q66. Is Sync Mushroom affiliated with or endorsed by TradingView, MetaQuotes, or my broker?
Sync Mushroom is an independent OICHI EQUIPMENT product.
References to TradingView, MetaTrader 5, MetaQuotes, or broker environments describe third-party products and services used with Sync Mushroom and do not by themselves indicate sponsorship, endorsement, or official affiliation.
Q67. Does Sync Mushroom guarantee profit, win rate, latency, execution speed, or trading results?
No.
No profit, win-rate, execution-speed, latency, fill, slippage, or trading-result guarantee is provided.
Trading outcomes and broker execution conditions are outside the control of Sync Mushroom.
Q68. What does Sync Mushroom not do?
Sync Mushroom does not:
- Make trading decisions for you
- Generate or distribute trading signals
- Run an automated trading strategy
- Autonomously initiate trade orders
- Copy another trader's trades
- Provide investment advice
- Manage a portfolio
- Act as a broker, dealer, exchange, or custodian
- Replace MT5
- Guarantee broker execution
- Guarantee trading results
Sync Mushroom is a user-controlled local execution utility for manual MT5 operation from a TradingView web chart.
