Every release of the Connector EA has an official SHA-256 checksum published here. Before attaching the EA to your live chart, spend 30 seconds comparing the hash of your downloaded file against the value below. If they match, the file is exactly what DeBrakke built — untampered and safe to run.
Never run a copy of the connector received via email, Telegram, Discord, or any third party. The official download link is inside your account dashboard only.
Two methods — both built into Windows, no extra software needed.
Open PowerShell — press Win + R, type powershell, press Enter.
Run the following command — replace the path with wherever you saved the file:
Get-FileHash "C:\Users\YourName\Downloads\DT_SAAS_CONNECTOR.ex5" -Algorithm SHA256 | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Hash
Or, if you have already placed it in your MT5 Experts folder:
(Get-FileHash "$env:APPDATA\MetaQuotes\Terminal\*\MQL5\Experts\DT_EURUSD\DT_SAAS_CONNECTOR.ex5" -Algorithm SHA256).Hash
Compare the output hash to the official value above. They must match character for character.
Open Command Prompt — press Win + R, type cmd, press Enter.
Run:
certutil -hashfile "C:\Users\YourName\Downloads\DT_SAAS_CONNECTOR.ex5" SHA256
The second line of output is the hash. Compare it to the official value above.
Your file is authentic and identical to the build published by DeBrakke. You are safe to attach it to your chart.
Do not run the file. Delete it and download a fresh copy from your account dashboard. Contact support if the mismatch persists.
When a new connector version is released, the checksum table below is updated. Re-run the verification any time you download a new build.
All past checksums are kept here so you can verify any build you have on disk.

SHA-256 is a cryptographic hash function. It takes any file and produces a unique 64-character fingerprint. Even a single changed byte produces a completely different fingerprint, making it an effective tamper-detection tool.
The source file is not distributed — only the compiled .ex5 binary. Source code is kept server-side as part of the DeBrakke proprietary strategy. Verifying the binary is what protects you.
No. MT5 does not modify .ex5 files after compilation. If the hash differs from the published value, the file was modified before or during transfer. Discard it and re-download.
Some antivirus tools flag MT5 Expert Advisors because they communicate with remote servers over HTTP. This is a false positive — it is exactly how the connector is designed to work (sending market data to dt.debrakke.com). Verifying the hash confirms the file has not been tampered with. You can whitelist the file in your AV settings after verification.
