MT5 to MT5 trade copier

The copier mirrors trades from one of your own MT5 accounts onto another of your accounts, at the same broker or a different one. It is a true mirror in time: when the original opens, moves its stop, takes a partial profit or closes, the copy does the same, usually within a few seconds.

Each copy also keeps its own stop loss at its broker as a safety net, set a little further away than the original's, so the copy is never unprotected. It runs on our servers, so neither account needs a computer left on.

What it does

Features

Mirrors every change

Opens, stop moves (including break-even and trailing), partial closes and closes are all copied from the original, so two brokers' slightly different prices never let the accounts drift apart.

Choose what to copy

Everything the other account places through the app, or only its automations, its signal groups or its manual trades, down to particular ones.

Size each copy

The same lot size, scaled by the two accounts' balances, or a size that risks a set percentage of the receiving account.

One to many

One account can be copied onto several of your other accounts.

Limits per copier

Daily loss limit and Profit Lock for each copier, measured on the copies it placed.

Missed closes caught

Once a minute the copier looks for any copy still open after its original closed, and closes it.

Every setting

Copier settings

Names and choices exactly as they appear in the app.

Equity Protection — stop copying after losing (today)

A daily loss limit for this copier, as a percentage of the receiving account, counting only the copies it placed. Once reached it stops new copies until tomorrow.

Default: Off

Equity Protection — stop copying after losing (today, cash)

The same daily loss limit as a cash amount. If both are set, the cash amount applies.

Default: Not set (the percentage is used)

Profit Lock — stop copying after making (today)

Profit Lock for this copier: once its copies have made this much today, it stops new copies until tomorrow.

Default: Off

Profit Lock — stop copying after making (today, cash)

The daily Profit Lock as a cash amount. If both are set, the cash amount applies.

Default: Not set (the percentage is used)

Equity Protection — what happens when it is reached

When the loss limit is reached: only stop new copies, or also close the copies this copier has open. Trades on that account that the copier did not place are never touched.

  • Stop new copies (open copies keep running)
  • Close this copier's open copies as well

Default: Stop new copies (open copies keep running)

Profit Lock — what happens when it is reached

When Profit Lock is reached: only stop new copies, or also close this copier's open copies so the profit is banked.

  • Stop new copies (open copies keep running)
  • Close this copier's open copies as well

Default: Stop new copies (open copies keep running)

Account the copies land in

Copies always land in the MT5 account you are viewing when you set the copier up.

Account to copy from

Which of your other connected MT5 accounts to copy from.

Everything

Copy every trade the other account places through the app: its automations, its signal groups and its manual trades, including ones added later.

Default: On — a new copier starts on Everything

Automations

Copy only the trades placed by the other account's automations.

Default: Off

Which automations

Pick particular automations to copy. None picked means all of them.

Default: None ticked, so all of them

Signal groups

Copy only the trades placed by the other account's signal groups.

Default: Off

Which signal groups

Pick particular signal groups to copy. None picked means all of them.

Default: None ticked, so all of them

Manual trades

Copy the trades you place by hand in the app on the other account.

Default: Off

How big the copy is

How each copy is sized: the same lot size as the original, scaled by the two accounts' balances, or a size that risks a set percentage of the receiving account at its stop loss.

  • Same size — The copy uses the same lot size as the original trade
  • Scaled to balance — Sized up or down by how big this account is next to the one you're copying
  • Risk percentage — Each trade risks a set percentage of this account, worked out from its stop loss

Default: Same size

Risk per trade

With percentage sizing, the share of the receiving account a copy loses if its stop loss is hit, up to 10%.

Default: 1% — where the box starts

Pause

Stops new copies without closing anything. Copies already open keep following the original until they close.

Default: Not paused

Questions

MT5 trade copier, answered

Can I copy someone else's account?

No. The copier only copies between MT5 accounts that you have connected yourself.

Are pending orders copied?

A waiting limit or stop order is not copied while it waits. The copy opens at market the moment the original fills, so an order that never fills is never copied.

Are trades placed directly in MetaTrader copied?

No. The copier copies trades placed through the app: automations, signal groups and your manual trades.
