Copier Settings controls how trades move between accounts.
Use Copier Settings to connect a master account to a slave account, decide how lot size is calculated, choose what trade actions are copied, and control risk limits before trades reach the slave terminal.
Where to start
Open the dashboard, go to Copier Settings, then use Add Or Update Copier Link. A copier link is one relationship between one master account and one slave account.
Create one link for every slave account that should follow a master. If one master controls three slave accounts, save three copier links: master to slave one, master to slave two, and master to slave three.
- Master Account is the source account. New trades, updates, and closes are read from this account.
- Slave Account is the receiving account. The copied trade is placed here using the settings saved on that link.
- Template applies saved settings to a new link so you do not need to re-enter the same risk controls each time.
- Status controls whether the link is Active or Inactive. Active links can copy trades. Inactive links stay saved but do not copy.
Account link example
Example: account 2716190 is your master and account 50521402 is your slave. Select 2716190 as Master Account, select 50521402 as Slave Account, keep Status as Active, then save.
After saving, new eligible trades from 2716190 can be copied to 50521402. If Status is changed to Inactive, the relationship remains visible but copying is paused for that slave.
Lot Settings
Lot Settings decide the volume opened on the slave account. This is one of the most important sections because it controls how much risk the slave account takes compared with the master.
- Fixed Lot uses the same lot size for every copied trade. Example: Fixed Lot 0.01 means every copied trade opens at 0.01 lot on the slave, no matter what lot size the master used.
- Lot Multiplier scales the master lot size. Example: master opens 0.10 lot and Lot Multiplier is 2.0, so the slave opens 0.20 lot. If the multiplier is 0.5, the slave opens 0.05 lot.
- Balance Multiplier is for balance-based sizing. It lets the copier size the slave trade using the saved multiplier and account size instead of blindly copying the master lot.
- Percent Risk is for risk-based sizing. Example: Risk Percent 0.25 means the copied trade should use about 0.25% risk where the terminal can calculate the risk from the trade setup.
- Fixed Balance is an optional balance reference. Leave it at 0 when you want the copier to use the live slave balance. Set a value only when you intentionally want sizing to be based on a fixed reference balance.
Lot examples
- Conservative fixed lot: choose Fixed Lot and enter 0.01. This is the simplest setup for small accounts because every copied trade uses the minimum lot.
- Half-size copy: choose Lot Multiplier and enter 0.5. A 0.10 lot master trade copies as 0.05 lot on the slave.
- Same-size copy: choose Lot Multiplier and enter 1.0. A 0.03 lot master trade copies as 0.03 lot on the slave, subject to broker minimum lot rules.
- Aggressive copy: choose Lot Multiplier and enter 2.0. A 0.05 lot master trade copies as 0.10 lot on the slave. Use this only when the slave account can handle the higher risk.
- Risk-percent copy: choose Percent Risk and enter 0.25 or 0.50. This is intended for users who want risk controlled by account size instead of fixed lots.
Stop Loss / Take Profit
This section controls whether the slave trade receives the master's Stop Loss and Take Profit, a fixed number of points, or no protection values from the copier.
- Stop Loss Mode Copy Master copies the master's stop loss level when available.
- Stop Loss Mode Fixed Points places the stop loss a fixed number of points away from the slave entry. Example: Fixed Stop Loss Points 50 uses a 50-point stop.
- Stop Loss Mode None does not place a copied stop loss. Use this only when you intentionally manage protection another way.
- Take Profit Mode Copy Master copies the master's take profit level when available.
- Take Profit Mode Fixed Points places the take profit a fixed number of points away from the slave entry. Example: Fixed Take Profit Points 100 uses a 100-point target.
- Copy Stop Loss and Copy Take Profit are quick On or Off controls. Turn them Off when you do not want the slave to receive copied SL or TP values.
Copy Options
Copy Options decide which trade actions should follow from the master to the slave after the link is active.
- Copy Pending Orders copies pending orders such as buy stop, sell stop, buy limit, or sell limit when supported by the broker and symbol.
- Copy Volume copies the master's volume directly. Keep this Off when Lot Settings should control the slave lot size.
- Copy Closures closes the slave trade when the matching master trade closes. Keep this On when the slave should follow master exits.
- Respect Manual Edits helps protect manual changes on the slave. When On, the copier avoids overwriting changes the user made directly on the slave terminal where supported.
- Reverse Trades flips direction. A master Buy becomes a slave Sell, and a master Sell becomes a slave Buy. Keep this Off for normal copying.
- Force Min Lot allows the copier to use the broker minimum lot when the calculated lot is below the broker's allowed minimum.
Filters And Mapping
Filters And Mapping control which trades are allowed through and how broker-specific symbols are translated.
- Max Slippage Points is the maximum price movement allowed while opening or updating the slave trade. A lower value is stricter and may reject trades in fast markets.
- Max Entry Distance Points prevents copying when the slave price is too far from the master's entry price. This helps avoid late entries at a much worse price.
- Symbol Filter limits copying to selected symbols. Use it when the slave should only copy specific markets.
- Magic Filter limits copying to trades that match a specific magic number. Use it when the master account runs more than one EA and only one EA should be copied.
- Auto Copy New Symbols allows the copier to copy symbols that are not already manually mapped when the broker symbol names match.
- Symbol Mapping translates master symbols to slave broker symbols. Example: if the master uses BTCUSD and the slave broker uses #BTCUSD, enter BTCUSD=#BTCUSD.
Symbol mapping examples
- Same symbol on both brokers: leave Symbol Mapping empty and keep Auto Copy New Symbols On.
- Broker suffix: master EURUSD and slave EURUSDm should be entered as EURUSD=EURUSDm.
- Broker prefix: master BTCUSD and slave #BTCUSD should be entered as BTCUSD=#BTCUSD.
- Multiple mappings: separate mappings with semicolons, for example EURUSD=EURUSDm;GBPUSD=GBPUSDm;BTCUSD=#BTCUSD.
- Blocked or wrong mapping signs usually show as copied trades not opening on the slave, so check exact spelling, suffixes, prefixes, and capitalization.
Trade Manager
Trade Manager adds account-level protection after trades are copied. It can monitor equity targets, daily targets, and daily drawdown settings for the slave account.
- Enable Trade Manager turns Trade Manager controls On or Off for the copier link.
- Trade Manager Mode Target Equity watches for the account equity to reach the configured target. Example: Target Equity 11100 means the target is hit when equity reaches 11100.
- Trade Manager Mode Daily Target watches the configured daily target amount. Example: Daily Target Amount 500 means the daily target is 500 in the account currency.
- Enable Daily Drawdown turns on drawdown protection for the trading day.
- Daily Drawdown Limit is the maximum allowed daily loss amount before drawdown protection is triggered.
- Trade Manager daily tracking resets at the configured platform reset time, which is 11pm GMT+1 for your local market-open reset.
Recommended setups
Choose the setup based on account size and how closely the slave should follow the master. When unsure, start smaller and increase only after verifying live behavior in trade logs.
- Small account setup: Fixed Lot 0.01, Copy Closures On, Copy Stop Loss On, Copy Take Profit On, Force Min Lot On, Reverse Trades Off.
- Same-risk setup: Lot Multiplier 1.0, Copy Volume Off, Copy Closures On, Copy SL and TP On, Max Slippage Points 100, Max Entry Distance Points 200.
- Reduced-risk setup: Lot Multiplier 0.5 or Fixed Lot 0.01, Copy Closures On, Daily Drawdown enabled with a limit the account can safely handle.
- Symbol-specific setup: add a Symbol Filter such as EURUSD or XAUUSD when the slave should only copy that market.
- Template setup: save the preferred settings as a Copier Template, then apply that template whenever creating a new slave link.
Before saving
- Confirm the master and slave accounts are correct. A setting saved on the wrong slave can copy trades to the wrong account.
- Confirm lot mode and lot value. This controls the risk on the slave account.
- Confirm Copy Closures is On if the slave should close when the master closes.
- Confirm symbol mapping when the master and slave brokers use different symbol names.
- After saving, open Trade Logs and Account Analysis to confirm copied trades, close events, health, and last update times.
Common mistakes
Most copier issues come from the wrong account link, wrong lot mode, broker symbol differences, or a paused copier status.
- If trades do not copy, check that Status is Active and the slave account is connected.
- If trades open with the wrong lot size, check Lot Mode, Fixed Lot, Lot Multiplier, and Copy Volume.
- If trades open on the wrong symbol or fail to open, check Symbol Mapping and broker symbol spelling.
- If slave trades do not close with the master, check that Copy Closures is On.
- If entries are skipped during fast moves, Max Slippage Points or Max Entry Distance Points may be too strict.
