How to Watch MT5 Prices Directly from the System Tray
Camovia Tray Team · 2026-08-12
Bottom line: put your MT5 quotes in the Windows system tray - hover the tray icon to see the latest prices and positions, without opening the bulky MT5 terminal every time.
MT5 is a full-featured trading platform. But if all you want to know is "what's XAUUSD right now," launching the whole terminal is overkill. Market watch, charts, and navigator all open - just to check one price.
Why the native terminal is clunky for quick checks
- You have to open or summon the MT5 main window - a crowded interface.
- Checking several symbols quickly means switching around the watch list.
- MT5 has no always-on mini quote strip in the tray.
Put quotes into the system tray
Camovia Tray is an always-in-the-tray companion for your MT5 quotes:
- Install and launch - it stays in the system tray.
- Choose the symbols you follow in the settings.
- Hover over the tray icon - a list of quotes and positions pops up with the latest prices, then disappears when you look away.
It reads quote data directly from your local MT5 terminal, so it stays real-time - and the data never leaves your computer.
MT4/MT5 Tray Assistant
Silent tracking, one-click close - check quotes and manage positions right from the tray.

Which systems and terminals are supported?
Windows 10 / 11, with MetaTrader 5 or MetaTrader 4 (installed and logged in; MT4 needs the bridge EA attached once).
Is the MT4 bridge EA safe? What do I need to enable?
Yes. The bridge EA (CamoviaBridge) is bundled with the app - it only reads quotes/positions locally and executes close commands; no DLLs, no data uploads. Closing positions requires turning on AutoTrading in the MT4 toolbar.
How much does it cost? Is there a free trial?
Subscription pricing starts at $2.49/month (also $6.99/3 months, $13.49/6 months, $23.99/year), all plans with full features. New users get a 2-day free trial on first activation (once per device and per email), then decide whether to subscribe.
How do I restore the MT5/MT4 window after hiding it?
Choose "Show MT5/MT4" from the system tray menu and the window returns to its previous position. You can also hover the tray to check quotes and manage positions without opening the terminal.
