Important Reminder: On the transmitter account side, you only need to configure the two settings highlighted in the screenshot below. All remaining settings must be adjusted on the receiver account side. Tweaking other settings in the transmitter account will be meaningless! 

On the transmitter account side, you only need to configure the two settings highlighted in the screenshot below

What’s Needed to Copy Trades Between Two Accounts of the Same Broker? 

To copy trades when both accounts are from the same broker, you’ll need to install another instance of the broker’s MT4/5 terminal on your Windows PC or VPS. Download the installation file from the broker, and during the process, specify a separate destination folder in the Program Files directory for this second terminal. This ensures both accounts can operate at the same time.

Duplicated Receiver Trades Due to Multiple Copier Attachments 

If you encounter multiple receiver trades for one transmitter trade, it’s likely because several Local Trade Copier EAs MT4/5© are attached to charts across the terminals. 

Only one EA should be used on a single chart in each terminal. It can be any symbol, as all trades will be copied. 

Check the quick setup video, focusing on the section after 1:30 for suffix instructions and the third section on special symbols. 



Why Receiver Trades Close as Soon as They Open 

If trades in the receiver account are closing instantly, check whether you have multiple Local Trade Copier EAs MT4/5© running on different charts or any other copier/multiplier EA active in the receiver terminal. Attach only one Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© to one chart in the receiver terminal for seamless copying. Use the Experts tab logs to investigate further. 



Trade Copying from Signal Subscriptions Disabled 

Due to recent MetaQuotes changes, copying and multiplying trades from signal subscriptions is no longer allowed. As a result, the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© and other copiers cannot copy trades from your signal subscription. 

For more information, see: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/473035

Terminal: Once subscribed to a signal, all MQL5 trading functions—including orders, positions, and trade history—are restricted. 



MathRound Function Bug on VPS Servers 

Certain VPS setups face a MathRound bug that defaults lot size calculations to 0.01. This issue is connected to the physical CPU used by the VPS. Many users have solved this by requesting a different processor on the same server. It’s advisable to avoid such VPS setups.

Ask your provider for a new server first, as only specific CPUs might exhibit this issue. Testing on a home PC or another VPS is another way to confirm the problem.

Minimizing Copying Delays and Missing Trades 

Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© offers unparalleled speed in copying trades, provided the VPS or computer and network meet the necessary requirements.

Delays or missing trades often occur due to weak communication links or insufficient VPS resources. Frozen charts typically signal the need for a system upgrade.

Simple Copy Setup: 1 Transmitter and 1 Receiver Without Suffixes 

This video provides a guide to a straightforward 1 transmitter to 1 receiver setup where neither account uses symbol suffixes. Suffixes are additional letters at the end of a symbol, such as '.r' in EURUSD.r. 




Simple 1 Transmitter to 1 Receiver Setup - Transmitter Account with .r Suffix 

In this video, we show how to set up 1 Transmitter to 1 Receiver when the transmitter account symbols include a .r suffix. The suffix will be automatically mapped, and no extra configuration is needed. A suffix is an additional letter or letters at the end of a symbol, like the '.r' in EURUSD.r. Automatic mapping applies only to suffixes with a dot, like EURUSD.r, not for EURUSDecn or EURUSD+. 



Copy from 1 Transmitter to 1 Receiver - Non-Dot Suffix on Transmitter Account 

In this video, we show how to set up a simple 1 Transmitter to 1 Receiver configuration, when the transmitter account symbols have a + suffix. To ensure correct copying, the + suffix must be entered into the Suffix of the Transmitter Account setting in the receiver account. A suffix is a letter or group of letters added at the end of a symbol, like .r in EURUSD.r. 



1 Transmitter to 1 Receiver - Receiver Account with Suffix 

This video guides you through a basic 1 Transmitter to 1 Receiver setup when the receiver account symbols use a suffix. You’ll need to enter the suffix from the receiver account symbols in the Suffix of the Receiver Account setting on the receiver account. A suffix is a group of letters attached to the end of a symbol, like .r in EURUSD.r. 



1 Transmitter to 1 Receiver Account - Same Symbol Suffix with Automatic Mapping 

In this video, you’ll see how both the transmitter and receiver accounts can use the same symbol and suffix (EURUSD.r), and the suffix will be automatically mapped for smooth trade copying. If automatic mapping doesn’t occur, you can manually add the .r suffix in the Receiver Account settings. This problem often arises with brokers offering multiple symbol sets. 

Suffix of the Receiver Account: .r

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



Copy from 1 Transmitter Account to 1 Receiver Account - Handling Mismatched Suffixes 

This video explains the configuration process when your transmitter and receiver accounts have different suffixes. For instance, the transmitter uses a + suffix, while the receiver uses a .r suffix. Both need to be input in the receiver terminal under the Suffix of the Transmitter Account and Suffix of the Receiver Account fields. Suffixes are additional characters at the end of symbols, such as the .r in EURUSD.r. Keep in mind that automatic mapping only applies to transmitter suffixes with a dot, like EURUSD.r, and not for non-dot suffixes like EURUSD+ or EURUSDecn. 



Copy from Transmitter to Two Receivers, Transmitter Using a Dot Suffix 

This video explains a setup where 1 transmitter account and 2 receiver accounts are used. The transmitter account’s symbols end with a .r suffix, which is automatically recognized and mapped to the receiver accounts without needing special adjustments. A suffix is a group of characters added to a symbol’s end, such as the .r in EURUSD.r. Only dot suffixes, like EURUSD.r, are mapped automatically, while other types, like EURUSDecn or EURUSD+, are not. 



Copy Setup: 1 Transmitter and 2 Receiver Accounts, 1 with a Suffix 

In this scenario, trades are copied from 1 transmitter account to 2 receivers, one of which has a suffix. The suffix should be added to the Suffix of the Receiver Account setting for proper functionality. For example, the .r in EURUSD.r is the suffix. 



How to Configure 2 Transmitter Accounts to 1 Receiver Account, 1 Transmitter with Dot Suffix 

This example demonstrates a 3-account setup, including 2 transmitter accounts and 1 receiver account. One transmitter uses a .r suffix in its symbols, which is automatically mapped onto the receiver account without needing any special settings. A suffix is an additional letter or set of letters at the end of a symbol, such as the .r in EURUSD.r. Keep in mind that only dot-prefixed suffixes like EURUSD.r are mapped automatically, while other suffixes like EURUSDecn or EURUSD+ are not. 



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

Here, you’ll see a configuration of 2 transmitter accounts and 1 receiver account. Ensure the receiver account’s suffix is added to the Suffix of the Receiver Account field. For example, in EURUSD.r, the suffix is .r. 



Copying from 2 Transmitter Accounts to 2 Receiver Accounts 

This video walks you through a simple copying arrangement involving two transmitter accounts and two receiver accounts. 



Copying from Transmitter to Receiver Fails Due to Investor Mode 

In this demonstration, copying is interrupted because the receiver account is accessed using the investor password. This password permits monitoring only. The issue was resolved after the user switched to the master password and pressed the Auto/Algo trading button again (deactivated after the account password was changed). 



No Copying - Scam Brokers at Play! 

Some traders have tried copying trades from accounts with brokers like LegoMarket, MaxGlobal, Zentrade, GlobalPremier, HanjuGlobal, or AlfaSuccessCorp, claiming these accounts always profit. The truth is these trades were never real. With the broker's help, scammers added them to the trade history after the fact. This ploy is designed to convince traders to open accounts with these brokers and eventually lose their money. Remember, MQL5.com has banned these brokers from their Signals section. If trades can't be copied, the problem lies with the scam, not your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5©. Always approach such promises with caution. 




Copying Across 3 Accounts: 2nd Account Acts as Receiver and Transmitter 

This video demonstrates a setup with 3 accounts. The 1st account transmits to the 2nd, which simultaneously receives from the 1st and transmits to the 3rd. The 2nd account uses 2 Local Trade Copier EAs MT4/5©, each on a separate chart. 



Copying Special Indexes to 2 Receivers with Unique Symbol Requirements 

In this video, 1 Transmitter Account copies US market indexes to 2 Receiver accounts, each with specific symbol settings. The 1st receiver account uses a .r suffix for its US500 and US30 indexes, requiring this suffix to be input in the Suffix of the Receiver Account setup. The 2nd receiver account uses alternate symbol names, SPX500 and WS30, which must be configured in the Special Symbols settings to ensure accurate copying. 



Copying Stocks Between Brokers with Special Symbols Configuration 

Watch this video to learn how Local Trade Copier EA MT5 facilitates stock copying between brokers by using the Special Symbols feature. In one example, Tesla’s TSLA.NAS transmitter stock is automatically mapped because of its dot suffix, allowing for smooth copying without additional settings. In another case with ABBV.NYSE, the Special Symbols setup ensures accurate mapping to the ABBVIE symbol on the receiver broker account. 



Excluding Specific Magic Numbers from Copying 

This video explains how to stop trades with certain magic numbers from being copied to the receiver account. These trades might be generated by an EA or another tool with a unique magic number. You can check the magic number of a trade on the transmitter account by hovering over its ticket number in the Trade or Trading History tab (Expert ID). Initially, trades from an expert (Manual Trade Panel EA MT4) are copied normally. After adding the expert’s magic number to the Magic Numbers Not to Copy setting, subsequent trades from that expert are excluded from the receiver account. 



Symbols Excluded from Copying 

This video demonstrates how to block specific symbols from being copied to the receiver account. At first, a trade on the transmitter account is copied as usual, but once the symbol is added to the Symbols Not to Copy setting on the receiver side, it is excluded from copying. 



Assigning Different Multipliers to Specific Symbols 

You can assign custom multipliers to selected symbols for copying trades to the receiver account, bypassing the default multiplier.

How to Enable Copying for Deriv Volatility Indexes with 0.001 Lot Sizes 

If you want to copy trades with a lot size below 0.01, including Deriv's Volatility Indexes, you must set all four relevant parameters to 0.0001. This ensures that trades as small as 0.001 or 0.0001 are copied successfully. The set file for this configuration is accessible here.

Error of Setting Timer in MT4

When this error appears as you try to attach the Local Trade Copier EA MT4© to an MT4 chart, the EA will not initialize successfully and will be removed from the chart. This error stems from the MT4 terminal itself, not from the Local Trade Copier EA MT4©. To fix this, restart your MT4 terminal and try attaching the EA again. Should the issue persist, restart your computer or VPS, launch your MT4 terminal, and attach the Local Trade Copier EA MT4© once more. 

Error of Setting Timer in MT4


Trade is Disabled

Seeing this message in the Experts tab of your receiver MT4/5 Terminal/Toolbox window indicates one of the following issues:

Suffix of the Receiver Account: .r

Trade is Disabled


Unknown Error

If you encounter this error in the Experts tab of your MT4/5 Terminal/Toolbox window, restart your computer or VPS, then reattach the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© to your chart. Persistent issues may indicate broker-imposed limitations on your account. This message is common with prop firm accounts that restrict expert advisors or algorithmic trading in favor of manual trading regulations or competitions. 

Unknown Error


Error: initialization failed with code 0

When you see this error in the Journal tab log of your MT4/5 terminal, it signifies that your system has been updated, requiring you to reinstall your MQL5.com Market purchases.

To resolve the issue, log into your MQL5 account by going to Tools >> Options >> Community in your MT4/5 terminal. Next, access the Market section under the Terminal (MT4) or Navigator (MT5) window, find your purchases, and click Install to reinstall them. 



Error 12152

This error message indicates a failure in sending a request to download the product, with error code [12152] signifying a network-related issue.
Follow these steps to resolve it:



Error 1003

If you are encountering this error, here are a few steps you can take to resolve it:



Error 500

If you see 'Error 500', it often points to server-side issues, which can occur during server overload, scheduled maintenance, or temporary problems with the MQL5 Market servers.
Here’s how to troubleshoot:



Initializing Failed with Code 1

This error suggests that you're not logged into your MQL5 account or you’ve installed the product incorrectly.

Log into your MQL5 account and install the products through the Terminal’s Market tab (MT4: Purchased, MT5: Navigator >> Market >> My Purchases), instead of copying the ex4/5 file from another terminal.

It’s crucial to remain logged in to your MQL5 account for the Market purchases to function properly.

Restart your MT5 terminal and check if the setup works.

If the issue continues, it may be due to a problem with your MT5 terminal. Uninstall it, download the branded MT5 terminal from your broker's website, and reinstall your Market purchases, then reconfigure the EA.
