• If your transmitter or receiver account has a suffix after each symbol (for example EURUSD.r), put that in the: Suffix of the Transmitter Account or in Suffix of the Receiver Account, setting (for example .r) in the receiver account settins.

How can I Copy between 2 Accounts of the same Broker, when I have only 1 Terminal of this Broker?

If both your transmitter and receiver accounts are of the same broker, you need to install a second terminal of the same broker in your windows computer or windows VPS in order to be able to have both transmitter and receiver accounts open in their terminals simultaneously. So, you download the MT4/5 terminal installation .exe file from your broker's website and during installation you create and select a different destination folder for this second terminal of the same broker, in your Program Files folder.

1 Transmitter trade is copied as Multiple Receiver trades

When 1 Transmitter trade is copied on the Receiver account multiple times, it means that you have more than 1 Local Trade Copier EAs MT4/5© attached on many charts on the receiver account side.

Copied Trades are Instantly Closed on the Receiver Account

Check whether you have more than 1 Local Trade Copier EAs MT4/5© attached on various charts on the transmitter or receiver account side.

Suffix is a letter or a group of letters that is added to the end of a symbol, for example in EURUSD.r the suffix is the .r at the end.

Both the transmitter and receiver accounts use the same symbol with the same suffix, EURUSD.r in this example, that is mapped automatically and the trades are copied smoothly without the need of any special setup. If in your case the same dot . suffix in both transmitter and receiver terminals does not mapped automatically, you need to put the dot . suffix in the receiver side setting below. This can happen in some brokers that have more than 1 set of symbols in their terminal.

No Copying Between Transmitter and Receiver Accounts - Receiver Account in Investor Mode

In this video you can see a copying attempt from a Transmitter account to a Receiver. At first copying doesn't work because the receiver account is in investor mode, that means that the user is logged into the trading account with the investor and not the master password that gives full trading privileges. The investor password only gives monitoring privileges. When the user logged into the trading account with the master password and the Auto/Algo trading button was pressed again (it was disabled due to change in the account password), copying is working fine.

No Copying - When the Transmitter Broker is a Scam!

Some users have approached me and told me that they are trying to copy someone's 'miracle' trading account, with some XAUUSD or other symbol trades that are always profitable, usually with LegoMarket, MaxGlobal, Zentrade, GlobalPremier, HanjuGlobal or AlfaSuccessCorp broker and this is what was happening. These trades were never really open and running in the transmitter account, so they couldn't copy them. These trades were added in the trading history at a later time, with the help of the broker by some 'scammer' who had approached them. So you understand that this scheme is trying to persuade these unsuspected traders/users that they have some 'miracle' robot or account in their hand, in order to open a trading account with that broker and finally lose their money. Please have in mind that these brokers have been banned by MQL5.com and they are not accepted for publishing signals in the Signals section. I highly advise you to be very cautious about such brokers, traders and schemes that are promising unbelievable results and when such trades can't be copied, there is a reason for it and this reason is not some problem with your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5©.

Copying Between 3 Accounts, 2nd Account is Receiver & Transmitter too

In this video you can watch a 3 account setup. The 1st account is transmitting to the 2nd that is receiving from the 1st but also transmitting to the 3rd. So the 2nd account/terminal is both a receiver and a transmitter at the same time with 2 Local Trade Copier EAs MT4/5© attached on 2 different charts.

Copying Special Symbols and Indexes, 1 Receiver with Suffix and the Other with Different Index Symbols

In this video you can see 1 Transmitter Account copying special symbols, indexes of the US stock market, in 2 Receiver accounts. The 1st receiver account has a .r suffix at the end of the US500 and US30 indexes, so this .r suffix must be entered in the Suffix of the Receiver Account in the receiver account setup. The 2nd receiver account uses different symbols for these 2 US indexes, SPX500 instead of US500 and WS30 instead of US30, so these differences must be entered in the Special Symbols setup of the 2nd receiver account.

Magic Numbers Not to Copy

In this video you can see how you can exclude certain magic number trades from copying from the transmitter onto the receiver account. These could be trades of some EA or from other source with a certain magic number. You can find out the magic number of a transmitter account trade when you hover with your mouse over the ticket number of the trade in the Trade or Trading History tab (Expert ID). On this video first a trade that is opened from an expert on the transmitter account (Manual Trade Panel EA MT4) is copied normally, then the magic number of the expert is included in the Magic Numbers Not to Copy setting of the receiver account and the next trade coming from that expert is not copied on the receiver account.

Symbols Not to Copy

In this video you can see how you can exclude certain symbols from copying onto the receiver account. First a trade is opened on the transmitter account and is copied normally on the receiver but then this symbol is included in the Symbols Not to Copy setting of the receiver account and therefore is not copied.

Copy 2 Symbols with Different Multiplier or Lot Size

You can use the following setting, to copy specific symbols trades onto the receiver account with different multipliers, overriding the universal multiplier used in the receiver account:

• Custom Symbol Multipliers: This setting allows different multipliers for various symbols, overriding the universal multiplier applied in the receiver settings. If for example a 1 multiplier has been set and in this setting you put: EURUSD2,GBPUSD3.5,USDJPY4 the EURUSD receiver copied trades will be copied with a 2 multiplier, the GBPUSD trades with a 3.5 multiplier and the USDJPY trades with a 4 multiplier, while all other symbols trades will be copied with 1 multiplier. This setting works only when Multiplier or Proportional Multiplier are selected on the Lot Size Type setting above. Also note that any suffixes the receiver account has on its symbols must be included. If for example the receiver account has a .r suffix in its symbols, this setting should be set as: EURUSD.r2,GBPUSD.r3.5,USDJPY.r4

How to Copy Deriv Volatility Indexes 0.001 trades

In order to copy trades with a lot size smaller than 0.01, like Deriv's Volatility Indexes, make sure that you put the following 4 settings to 0.0001 to allow the copying of 0.001  or 0.0001 trades. You will find the corresponding set file here.

Error of Setting Timer in MT4

When you get this error while you are trying to attach the Local Trade Copier EA MT4© on your MT4 chart/terminal, the EA cannot be initialized correctly and its removed from the chart. This is a MT4 terminal error and is not caused by the Local Trade Copier EA MT4©. The solution is to restart your MT4 terminal and attach the Local Trade Copier EA MT4© on your chart again. If this issue persists, restart your computer or VPS, open your MT4 terminal and attach your Local Trade Copier EA MT4© on your chart again.

Trade is Disabled

If you see that message in the Experts tab of your MT4/5 Terminal/Toolbox window, it means that trading in general is not enabled by your broker. So, contact your broker to enable trading in your trading account.

Unknown Error

If you see this message in the Experts tab of your MT4/5 Terminal/Toolbox window, try to restart your computer or VPS and re-attach Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© again. If the issue persists, it means that there is some limitation in your trading account by your broker. This message is usually seen in trading accounts where the broker doesn't allow the use of expert advisors and algorithmic trading, due to some sole manual trading rules or competition (Eightcap, FTMO etc.).
