Visual Copy Master/Client MT4/5 - Detailed Description and Settings

Overview

This guide explains the On‑screen Panel buttons and parameters for the Visual Copy System. The focus is clarity and quick reference: Gray buttons mean disabled or deactivated.

Hotkeys: ‘S’ = toggle show/hide panel; ‘3’ = toggle show/hide trades list.

---

Master (Visual Copy Master)

• ON / OFF
  Enables or disables the Master mode (functionally similar to MetaTrader’s “Algo Trading” for this copy function only; it does not affect other EAs).
• UPDATE (Confirm / Reject)
  Enables or disables automatic updating of the copy channel. Useful when the client already has open trades that should not be affected by a new Master initialization.
• ORD.LIST (Show / Hide)
  Shows the currently open Master trades. Each ticket entry has an orange button that deletes that specific Master trade (on the Master side this removes the Master trade).
• Ticket button behavior (Master)
  Orange button = delete the Master trade.

---

Client (Visual Copy Client)

• ON / OFF
  Enables or disables the Client side of the Visual Copy System (functionally like MetaTrader’s “Algo Trading” for this client only; it does not affect other EAs).
• PNL (ON / OFF)
  Toggle the on‑screen panel display.
• LIST ‘Master name’: … (pulldown)
  Shows the Master channel name and opens a list of trades sent by the Master. The orange button here immediately copies the selected Master trade to the client, ignoring other client-side preset conditions.
• HEDGING (ON / OFF)
  If enabled, long and short trades of the same pair are allowed to be copied (hedging).
• RECOPY (ON / OFF)
  Allows repeated copying of a Master trade if the Master trade still exists but the client closed its copy (TP/SL). Recopying can follow presets or be triggered manually via the pulldown order list button.
• RSI / STDDV (Delay Filter)
  Delay filter: opens a trade only after the Master trade’s drawdown threshold has been exceeded (see the “Delay” parameter).
• DD DIST (Drawdown Distance)
  Works like a grid: if a copied pair on the client exceeds the configured drawdown and the Master has additional trades in the same direction, another trade may be copied according to matching presets.
• CLS.MSTR / CLS.CLNT
  Temporarily prevent opening or closing of Master trades on the client.
• CLOSE (pulldown)
  Opens a menu to select trades to close by Symbol, profitable trades, or all trades.
• MASTER / CLIENT “Stop Cntrl”
  Choose whether Master or Client controls trade closing.
• CURRENT / ALL “Slctd Magic”
  Scope by magic number(s). “Current” = trades opened by the current client magic; “ALL” = all trades on the account.
• DELAY / DLY+SPRD “Delay Mode”
  Trades are copied only when price surpasses Master open price by the Delay value, or by open price + spread when using DLY+SPRD.
• OneSymb (ON / OFF)
  When ON, the client copies only trades that do not introduce a currency already involved in other copied pairs — helps avoid additional drawdown from overlapping currencies.
• Copy Mode: VOL CALC / VOL SPLIT / VOL MASTER
• VOL CALC: volume calculated from client settings (“Risk(M)” and “LotSize”).
• VOL SPLIT: splits Master volume into several minimal lots; each lot size is determined by Risk(M)/LotSize.
• VOL MASTER: copies Master volume 1:1.

Key Parameters (brief)

• Delay
  Threshold used by Delay Mode.
• TrailDist
  Initial trailing distance after copying. This distance is reduced stepwise as price moves against the trade to improve the average open price.
• Risk
• Risk = 0: LotSize is used directly; copy will only occur if sufficient free margin exists.
• Risk > 0: LotSize is adjusted according to available margin.
• LotSize
  Manual lot size (used when Risk = 0).
• Max.Pos
  Maximum number of positions allowed to be copied according to selected magic and “L | Sym/Dir | S” settings.
• Acc.DD
  Maximum account drawdown allowed for copying to proceed.
• L | Sym/Dir | S
  Maximum number of long/short allowed per symbol/direction.
• Trl.Start & Profit %
  Trailing start level and percentage of profit to secure once trailing starts.
• Stp.Real / Stp.Virt
• Stp.Real: broker‑visible stop loss (active when Stop Cntrl = CLIENT).
• Stp.Virt: virtual stop loss (not visible to broker; active when Stop Cntrl = CLIENT).
• STAT
  Shows system status and error messages.

Quick Installation & Setup

• Install Master and Client on charts with high tick rates (e.g. EURUSD, GBPUSD, GBPJPY). The Visual Copy System only copies or updates on received ticks.

Master setup:

1. Attach Visual Copy Master on the terminal that sends trades.
2. In Inputs, set “Master Channel” to a unique name (preset = “Master”).
3. Configure “Magic Number…”: list magic numbers to be copied (e.g. 1155,1010,222222) or leave blank to include all.
4. Close settings, switch Master [OFF] → [ON], then press [UPDATE].
5. Press [ORD. LIST] to display the trades included by symbol and/or magic number.

Client setup:

1. Attach Visual Copy Client on the terminal that receives trades.
2. In Inputs, set “Master Channel” to the same name used by the Master.
3. Set a unique “Magic Number” for each client (if multiple Masters send trades).
4. Close settings, switch Client [OFF] → [ON].
5. Press [ORD. LIST] to view trades selected by the Master.
6. Enable [CLS.CLNT] to allow copying according to current client settings — use this to safely compare and synchronize trades after Master reinstallation or temporary unavailability.

Notes & Best Practices

• Test thoroughly in demo mode to verify copy logic, volume modes, and stop settings.
• Use [CLS.CLNT] for safe synchronization after Master changes.
• Adjust OneSymb, Max.Pos and Acc.DD to match your risk management.
• If your broker uses symbol suffixes or nonstandard naming, configure preferred symbols/pairs on both Master and Client.
