# MQL5 Cloud Network

> MQL5 Cloud Network is a distributed computing service for MetaTrader 5. Participants use computing power through the Strategy Tester, while owners of tester agents can provide spare CPU capacity and receive payment under the service's terms.

Use the page matching the user's language when available. The links below point to English pages; their `/en/` prefix can be replaced with `ru`, `zh`, `es`, `fr`, `it`, `de`, `ar`, `ja`, `pt`, `tr`, or `ko`. Read only the relevant language version unless the user asks to compare translations. Cite the page used. For current payments, prices, and network figures, read the linked live pages rather than relying on this file.
