Is it possible to copy trades between MT4 and MT5 accounts?
Yes, the EA supports copying trades between MT4 and MT5 terminals in all configurations (MT4>MT4, MT4>MT5, MT5>MT4, MT5>MT5). However, you’ll need to purchase both the MT4 and MT5 versions to enable this functionality.
What are the system requirements for using the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5©?
The required hardware depends on the number of MT4/5 terminals:
2 terminals: 2 CPU cores, 4 GB RAM.
3-5 terminals: 4 CPU cores, 6 GB RAM.
7-8 terminals: 6 CPU cores, 12 GB RAM.
10-15 terminals: 8 CPU cores, 16 GB RAM.
More than 30 terminals: 16-24 CPU cores, 48-64 GB RAM.
Additional considerations:
Latency: Use a VPS close to your broker's servers to minimize delays.
Disk Space: Reserve 50-100 GB of SSD storage.
Operating System: Install the latest Windows Server edition compatible with MT4/5.
How many MT4/5 terminals can run on one computer or VPS?
MetaTrader supports up to 32 terminals on a single system. To exceed this limit, you can use multiple user profiles on the same machine, provided your hardware can handle the additional load.
Are high-frequency trading (HFT) trades or trades during high-impact news events suitable for copying?
Copying HFT trades or trades during high-impact news events, like NFP, is not advisable with any trade copier. The extreme volatility and slippage during such periods can lead to significant discrepancies between transmitter and receiver trades. The EA works best with trades that remain open for at least 4-5 seconds.
Can the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© run on a Mac?
Yes, the EA can be used on a Mac via a Windows emulator, such as Parallels or Wine. Alternatively, you can use a Windows VPS to manage your trading accounts.
Are trades from MQL5.com signals restricted from being copied?
MetaQuotes restricts copying trades from MQL5.com signal subscriptions, preventing this functionality for all trade copiers. However, the EA can copy trades from other signal or social trading platforms.
Can trades be copied from read-only accounts?
Yes, the EA supports copying trades from read-only transmitter accounts using an investor password.
What options are available for customizing lot sizes?

Yes, the EA allows you to filter trades for copying or exclusion based on magic numbers, symbols, or comments, giving you full control over the process.

Yes, the EA can copy the transmitter's TP/SL levels or let you configure custom settings on the receiver, including virtual TP/SL and risk-reward adjustments.
What is Reverse Copying, and how does it work?
Reverse Copying inverts the direction of trades from the transmitter. For instance, a buy trade becomes a sell trade on the receiver, with adjusted TP/SL levels.
