Create and manage trade copiers

A copier sends trades from a master terminal to a follower terminal according to its sizing, order rules and filters.

How it works

Prepare two running demo terminals first. Choose New Trade Copier, select the master and follower, then review Risk Settings, Pending Order Settings, Advanced Settings and Trade Filters.

Select from list uses a running terminal in your workspace. Enter ID lets you supply a terminal ID and select its platform. Check the direction: master is the source, follower receives the copies.

Start Copier submits the chosen settings. Check its returned state and use Results to inspect copied activity. Running copiers are billed by the minute at the displayed rate; a paused copier is not charged.

Edit changes the copier settings. Its two accounts cannot be changed; create a new copier to use a different pair. Save changes submits the edited settings; Cancel leaves the saved configuration unchanged.

Pause pauses the copier, and Resume enables it again. Remove stops and removes it; the confirmation warns that open trades managed by that copier may be closed. Review open activity before removing it.

Open Master and Open Follower launch the respective web traders. Open both before a demo test, confirm the account in each, and use Results to check the copied open, modification and close actions.
