Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© Quick Setup Video


Note: The transmitter account requires just the two settings shown in the screenshot below to be filled in. The remaining settings are meant for the receiver account side. Modifying any other settings in the transmitter account will not produce any results! 

The transmitter account requires just the two settings shown in the screenshot below to be filled in

Copying Between Two Accounts from the Same Broker on a Single PC or VPS 

If both transmitter and receiver accounts are with the same broker, you’ll need to install a second terminal from that broker to run both accounts simultaneously. Obtain the installation .exe file from your broker’s site and create a separate folder during the installation process in your Program Files directory for the second terminal.

1 Transmitter Trade, Multiple Receiver Entries – Fixing the Issue 

When you see repeated trades on your receiver account(s) for a single transmitter trade, it’s likely because multiple Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© instances are attached on several charts within the terminals. 

Only one instance is needed on each terminal—one chart on the transmitter and one on the receiver, any symbol will work. 

Watch the quick setup video and pay special attention to the segment after 1:30 for suffixes, along with the third part on copying special symbols. 



Copied Trades Closing Instantly on Receiver – Steps to Fix 

This issue often happens if more than one Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© is attached to different charts or if another copier/multiplier EA is present on the receiver terminal. Make sure only one Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© is attached to one chart in the receiver terminal. Check the receiver terminal’s Experts tab logs for additional insights or error messages. 



Fixing Copying Delays or Missed Trades 

To ensure optimal performance, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© relies on stable internet and properly configured VPS or computer hardware.

Copying delays or missing trades typically result from connectivity issues or hardware limitations. Frozen charts are a common indicator of insufficient system capacity, requiring an upgrade.

Recommended VPS specifications:

Additional VPS considerations:

For recommended VPS services, see: https://contabo.com/en/vps/

By addressing these areas, you can achieve seamless copying and efficient trade execution.



Copying Signals Trade Not Supported Anymore 

MetaQuotes has enforced a new rule that blocks the copying and multiplying of trades from signal subscriptions. Consequently, the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© and similar copiers are unable to copy or multiply trades from your signal subscription. 

For more details, visit: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/473035

Terminal: If a signal subscription is detected, all MQL5 trading functions will be restricted, including the reception of orders and history, and trading operations. 



Lot Size Bug on Some VPS Servers 

There’s a known issue with VPS setups where MathRound malfunctions, leading to a 0.01 lot size calculation. The error appears linked to the physical CPU used. Switching to another CPU on the VPS has worked for others. To prevent issues, avoid setups where this bug occurs.

Try requesting a new VPS server from your provider instead of immediately changing providers, as the issue may not affect all CPUs. Running the copier EA on a local system or another VPS is also recommended.

One-to-One Copying Setup Without Suffix Adjustments 

Here’s a video demonstrating how to copy from one transmitter account to one receiver account in a situation where neither account uses suffixes in their trading symbols. A suffix is an extension, like '.r' in EURUSD.r. 




1 Transmitter to 1 Receiver Setup - .r Suffix on Transmitter Account 

This video demonstrates how to set up a 1 Transmitter to 1 Receiver configuration where the transmitter account symbols have a .r suffix. The suffix is automatically mapped without requiring special settings. A suffix is a group of letters added to the symbol, such as '.r' in EURUSD.r. Automatic mapping works only for suffixes with a dot, like EURUSD.r, but not for suffixes such as EURUSDecn or EURUSD+. 



1 Transmitter to 1 Receiver - Transmitter Account with Non-Dot Suffix 

This video covers a straightforward 1 Transmitter to 1 Receiver setup, where the transmitter account symbols have a + suffix. You must enter the + suffix from the transmitter account into the Suffix of the Transmitter Account setting on the receiver account. A suffix is a group of letters added to the symbol’s end, such as the .r in EURUSD.r. 



Copy from 1 Transmitter to 1 Receiver - Receiver Account with Suffix 

In this video, you can watch a simple 1 Transmitter to 1 Receiver setup when the receiver account symbols include a suffix. The suffix from the receiver account symbols must be entered into the Suffix of the Receiver Account setting of the receiver account. A suffix is a set of letters added to the end of a symbol, like .r in EURUSD.r. 



Copy from 1 Transmitter to 1 Receiver Account - Suffix Automatically Mapped 

This video demonstrates a 1 Transmitter to 1 Receiver setup where both the transmitter and receiver accounts share the same symbol suffix (EURUSD.r). The suffix is automatically mapped, allowing for smooth trade copying. If mapping doesn’t occur, enter the .r suffix manually in the Receiver Account settings. This issue is common with brokers providing multiple symbol sets. 

Suffix of the Receiver Account: .r

A suffix is an additional group of letters added to the end of a symbol, like .r in EURUSD.r. 



Copy from 1 Transmitter Account to 1 Receiver Account - Configuring Different Suffixes 

In this video, you’ll learn to set up accounts where the transmitter and receiver use different suffixes. For example, the transmitter has a + suffix, and the receiver has a .r suffix. These suffixes must be added to the receiver terminal’s Suffix of the Transmitter Account and Suffix of the Receiver Account fields. A suffix, like the .r in EURUSD.r, consists of extra characters appended to a trading symbol. Automatic mapping only works for transmitter suffixes with a dot, such as EURUSD.r, but not for suffixes like EURUSD+ or EURUSDecn. 



Transmit Trades from 1 Account to 2 Receivers with Dot Suffix on Transmitter 

The video shows a setup involving 1 transmitter account and 2 receiver accounts. The transmitter’s symbols have a .r suffix, which is automatically applied to the receiver accounts. A suffix is a string of characters at the end of a symbol, such as the .r in EURUSD.r. Auto-mapping works seamlessly for suffixes with a dot, such as EURUSD.r, but not for others like EURUSDecn or EURUSD+. 



1 Transmitter to 2 Receivers: Handling a Receiver with a Suffix 

This video explains the process of setting up 1 transmitter account and 2 receivers, where one receiver account uses a suffix. Add the receiver account’s suffix to the Suffix of the Receiver Account field for accurate trade copying. In EURUSD.r, the suffix is the .r at the end. 



Copying from 2 Transmitter Accounts to 1 Receiver, Transmitter with Suffix Automatically Mapped 

This video showcases a 3-account setup with 2 transmitter accounts and 1 receiver account. One of the transmitter accounts uses a .r suffix in its symbols, which the system automatically maps to the receiver account without additional input. Suffixes, such as the .r in EURUSD.r, are letters or groups of letters appended to the end of a symbol. Automatic mapping works for dot-prefixed suffixes like EURUSD.r but not for suffixes like EURUSDecn or EURUSD+. 



Copy from 2 Transmitter Accounts to 1 Receiver Account, Enter Receiver Suffix 

In this setup, 2 transmitter accounts and 1 receiver account are involved. The receiver account’s suffix must be entered into the Suffix of the Receiver Account setting. For instance, the .r in EURUSD.r is the suffix. 



Copying from 2 Transmitter Accounts to 2 Receiver Accounts 

Check out this tutorial on configuring a basic trade copying setup from two transmitter accounts to two receiver accounts. 



Investor Mode Blocks Copying Between Transmitter and Receiver Accounts 

This video illustrates a copying failure caused by the receiver account being in investor mode. The investor password restricts the account to view-only access. The problem was fixed by logging in with the master password and reactivating the Auto/Algo trading button, which was turned off due to the password update. 



No Copying - Scam Trading Accounts! 

Some users have experienced issues trying to copy trades from 'too good to be true' trading accounts associated with brokers like LegoMarket, MaxGlobal, Zentrade, GlobalPremier, HanjuGlobal, or AlfaSuccessCorp. These trades are fraudulent and added to the account history later with the broker's involvement. The goal is to trick traders into depositing funds with these brokers, leading to eventual losses. Such brokers are banned by MQL5.com for publishing signals. If trades can't be copied, it's a result of the scam, not a fault in your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5©. 




Copying Trades Between 3 Accounts: 2nd Account is Receiver and Transmitter 

Watch this video to see a 3-account setup: the 1st account sends trades to the 2nd, which receives them and simultaneously sends trades to the 3rd account using 2 Local Trade Copier EAs MT4/5©. 



Transmitting US Market Indexes to 2 Receivers with Unique Configurations 

This video explains how 1 Transmitter Account copies US stock market indexes to 2 Receiver accounts with different symbol formats. The 1st receiver account uses a .r suffix with its US500 and US30 symbols, which should be entered in the Suffix of the Receiver Account section. The 2nd receiver account replaces these indexes with SPX500 and WS30, necessitating configuration of these differences in the Special Symbols settings. 



Effortless Stock Copying Between Brokers Using Special Symbols 

Learn in this video how Local Trade Copier EA MT5 helps copy stocks between brokers using the Special Symbols setup. Tesla’s TSLA.NAS, a transmitter stock with a dot suffix, is copied smoothly to the receiver without additional adjustments. For ABBV.NYSE, the receiver’s Special Symbols setup is utilized to map it accurately to the ABBVIE symbol. 



Preventing Magic Number Trades from Copying 

This video shows how to prevent trades with specific magic numbers from being copied to the receiver account. Such trades might be associated with an EA or another trading system. To identify the magic number, hover your mouse over the trade’s ticket number in the transmitter account’s Trade or Trading History tab (Expert ID). Initially, trades from the Manual Trade Panel EA MT4 are copied to the receiver account. After adding the expert’s magic number to the Magic Numbers Not to Copy setting, further trades from this source are no longer copied. 



Blocking Symbols from Copying 

This video explains the process of stopping specific symbols from being copied onto the receiver account. Initially, a trade on the transmitter account is copied normally to the receiver, but once the symbol is added to the Symbols Not to Copy setting, it is excluded from further copying. 



Using Custom Multipliers for Selected Symbols 

This setting lets you override the universal multiplier by assigning specific multipliers to individual symbols on the receiver account.

Error of Setting Timer in MT4

When this error appears while adding the Local Trade Copier EA MT4© to your MT4 terminal, the EA won’t load properly and will be removed from the chart. The issue originates within the MT4 terminal itself and is not caused by the Local Trade Copier EA MT4©. Restart the MT4 terminal to fix the problem and try attaching the EA again. If the error continues, restart your computer or VPS and attach the EA after reopening your MT4 terminal.
