    • Do not use the investor password for logging into the receiver account, you will not be able to copy !!!
    • If your receiver account has a suffix after each symbol (for example EURUSD.r), put that in the: Suffix of the Receiver Account, setting (for example .r).

    Full Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 Installation Guide


    In order to buy Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 from MQL5.com Market you need to have a MQL5 community account. If you don’t have one, you can register here: https://www.mql5.com/en/auth_register


    1. First make sure that you have the necessary funds required for your purchase in your MQL5 account, it's always easier to pay with your MQL5 balance, than using a credit card during the buying procedure.


    2. Find Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 in the MQL5.com website and open its product page.


    3. Click the Buy or Rent button to continue with your purchase.




    4. Choose the payment method and click the green Next button to continue with your payment.




    5. After your payment is completed, you will need to open your MT4/5 terminal in order to download and install your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5.


    6. When you open your MT4/5 terminal, you must make sure that you are logged into your MQL5 account with your MQL5 account login and NOT with your email, facebook or any other. For example my login is the last part of my profile url, in my case: eleanna74, the last part of: https://www.mql5.com/en/users/eleanna74


    7. So, open the MT4/5 >> Tools >> Options >> Community tab and make sure you are logged in with your MQL5 account login.




    8. Then go down in the MT4 Terminal window and click the Market tab. On the left side of the Market tab, click the Purchased option and then click the blue Install button on the right side of the product you've just purchased. Or for MT5 go in the Navigator window and click the Market folder and then Purchases. Then your Purchases window opens on the right with all your purchases and you can click the Install button on the right for the product you've just purchased.

    Notice: You will need to repeat this product installation procedure in all the terminals that you want to use with your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5. So repeat the last Steps 6-8 in order to have your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 available and ready to work in all the terminals that you will use for copying.






    Notice: If you can't see your purchase when you click the Purchased option, check the below mentioned issues:

    Make sure that:

    • that you have all the latest Windows Updates installed
    • that you have Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge latest version installed on your computer or VPS
    • that you are using the latest build of MetaTrader 4/5
    • that you are logged into your MQL5 account in MT4/5 >> Tools >> Options >> Community tab, using your login - NOT your email
    • that your MQL5 account password is less than 10 characters (if your password is 10 or more characters - change MQL5 account password here)

    In case you still don't see the product on the list of your purchases in the terminal, try the following:

    1. Close ALL your MetaTrader terminals
    2. Go to C:\Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\Community
    3. Delete all files starting from mql4.market.* and mql5.market.*
    4. Open the MetaTrader terminal
    5. Try to install your product again



    9. After your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 is installed you may want to setup the email and push notifications of your MT4/5 terminal, in order to receive email and/or push notifications about your copied/multiplied trades opened by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 and/or daily notifications about your trading account’s basic details, such as balance, equity and margin levels. Also you will be able to receive emergency notifications if your account’s equity drops below the emergency notification equity drops below your pre-defined level.


    10. So you open MT4/5 >> Tools >> Options >> Email tab and you fill in the necessary details for your email and server, in order to receive your email notifications. Below is an example of the details that are required and a list of the most popular email providers and their SMTP settings.

    ● In the SMTP server field you need to put your email provider’s SMTP address, you can see most of the popular providers below.

    ● In the SMTP login field you need to put your full email, for example: johnsmith@gmail.com

    ● In the SMTP password field, you need to put your email’s password.

    ● In the From and To fields, you need to put your full name a comma and then your email again, for example: John Smith, johnsmith@gmail.com

    List of SMTP Mail Servers: https://domar.com/pages/smtp_pop3_server


    Gmail: smtp.gmail.com:465

    Outlook-Hotmail: smtp-mail.outlook.com:587

    Yahoo: smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465

    iCloud: smtp.mail.me.com:587

    Mail.com: smtp.mail.com:465

    Mail.ru: smtp.mail.ru:25

    Zoho: smtp.zoho.com:465

    Gmx.com: smtp.gmx.com:465




    11. In order to set up your push notifications, open the MT4/5 >> Tools >> Options >> Notifications tab and fill in your mobile device’s or tablet’s MQL5 ID number, in order to receive your push notifications to those devices. You can find these MQL5 ID codes in your MT4/5 mobile app, if you click in Settings >> Messages.

    You can also find your MQL5 IDs in your MQL5 account’s profile >> settings >> security.



    If you choose to receive your transactions push notifications from the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 settings, you should not tick the Notify of Trade Transactions option because if you do you will receive your transactions notifications twice.




    12. After you've finished setting up your notification details, you may want to put your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 to work. So, open any MT4/5 terminal and any chart of any symbol at any timeframe and then from the left side of your MT4/5 terminal, in the Navigator window, find your purchased Expert Advisor from within the Market options and drag it onto the chart (or double click it).




    13. The Expert Advisor's settings window will open. In the MT4 terminal you click the Allow live trading option and the Allow modification of Signals settings on the Common tab and click OK. In the MT5 terminal you tick the Allow modification of Signals settings and the Allow Algo Trading options and click OK.





    14. If you are going to use the Self Copier option in order to multiply the lot size of your signal subscription’s trades onto the same trading account, click the Inputs tab of the Local Trade Copier EA and in the first Account Mode setting, choose: Self Copier.




    15. If you don’t want to multiply your signal subscription’s trades, but you simply want to copy your trades from one or more trading accounts to one or more trading accounts of yours between local MT4/5 terminals (on the same Windows computer or Windows VPS), simply choose the Transmitter or Receiver role for the trading account that you’ve loaded the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 onto, in the Account Mode field.

    If the trading account that you’ve loaded the EA onto is the Transmitter account, you don’t need to put anything in the Transmitter Account Number field, but if this is the Receiver account you need to fill in the Transmitter Account Number in that field. If the Transmitter Accounts are more than one, you need to put their number in that field of the Receiver account settings, separated by commas. For example if your Receiver account will receive/copy trades from 2 Transmitter accounts, you should put their account numbers, separated by a comma: 123456,654321

    So, you need to attach and set up the Local Trade Copier EA on each and every MT4/5 terminal that you want to copy trades from and to, setting up in each terminal the role that the Local Trade Copier EA will play, as either a Transmitter or a Receiver.


    16. In the Lot Size Management section you choose the way your copied trades will be copied onto your Receiver account.

    If you leave None in the Lot Size Type field, no copying/multiplying will take place.

    If you choose Fixed Lot, your copied trades will have the same Fixed size lot size, entered below in the Fixed Lot Size field.

    If you choose Multiplier, your copied trades will be multiplied in size by the number of times you will enter below in the Multiplier field. For example if you put 2 it means that the EA will copy a transmitter account trade onto a receiver account, with double the size of the original trade. So if the original trade in your transmitter account was 0.10 lots the copied trade onto the receiver account will be 0.20 lots. If you want a smaller 0.05 lot trade to be copied onto your receiver account you should put 0.5 in the Multiplier field.




    If you choose Proportional, the lot size of your copied trades onto your receiver account(s), will have a proportional size to the receiver accounts’ balance. For example if your transmitter account is $2000, your receiver account is $4000 and a 0.10 lots trade is opened on the transmitter account, will be copied as a 0.20 lots trade onto the receiver.

    If Proportional Multiplier is selected, the lot size of your copied trades onto your receiver account(s), will have a proportional size to the receiver accounts’ balance with an additional multiplier applied, called Proportional Multiplier that can be adjusted below. This Proportional Multiplier is 1 by default, so if for example the default Proportional Multiplier algorithm 1 gives a 0.20 lot size trade to be opened on the receiver account side, if the Proportional Multiplier value is changed to 0.5 the receiver lot size will be 0.10 (0.20*0.5=0.10) and if the Proportional Multiplier value is changed to 3, the receiver lot size will be 0.60 (0.20*3=0.60).

    Finally if Lot Size per 1000 of Balance is selected, the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 will use the below Lot Size per 1000 of Balance setting, to calculate the lot size of the receiver copied trades, based on the balance of the receiver account. For example if Lot Size per 1000 of Balance=0.03 is inserted and the receiver account balance is $10000, the lot size of all receiver copied trades will be 0.30 lots.



    17. If you leave the rest of the settings as they are, your copied trades opened by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 onto the receiver account(s), will be closed instantly when the original transmitter account(s) trades are closed. For more details on the Inputs/Settings of the EA, read the Inputs file carefully: https://www.mql5.com/en/blogs/post/745681


    18. Then if you want to add the maximum protection for your receiver account(s), go to the Emergency Trade Management section and put the Use Emergency Account Protection to true and enter below the Equity level of your account, that you would like the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 to close all open trades and disable copying onto the receiver account, in order to save your trading account from any further losses. When you finish with this parameter, adjust any other settings you want and click OK.




    19. After you've closed the Expert Advisor's window, you will see that there is a sad face (or a red sign in MT5) on the top right of your chart. That means that your EA does not trade yet. You need to click the Auto (Algo) Trading button and instantly the sad face will smile (the red sign will turn green in MT5). Now your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 is working and you can see the trades of Transmitter account(s) being copied to Receiver account(s), according to your settings and requirements.








    Important! The only 2 settings that are filled in the transmitter account side are these 2 highlighted in the screenshot below. All other settings are filled in the receiver account side. There is no meaning in changing any of the other settings in the transmitter account, it will mean nothing!





    Further Instructions for the Self Copier option


    20. In order for the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 to monitor and copy/multiply your signal subscription’s copied trades, you need to set up your Signal’s subscription settings too. If you haven’t subscribed to your prefered signal yet, you can follow the following instructions in order to do so:

    How to Subscribe to MQL5.com Signal

    https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/189731 (MT4)

    https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/336422 (MT5)


    ATTENTION: Make sure that you don’t synchronize your signal subscription to your MQL5 VPS, unless you have set up Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 too. That means that if you want your signal subscription and your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 to work together, you must synchronize/migrate them together to your MQL5 VPS. The procedure is described in the steps below.


    21. Open the MT4/5 >> Tools >> Options >> Signals tab, adjust the settings of your signal subscription and click OK.




    22. The only thing that remains to do is to make sure that you will not suffer any power or network disruptions and that can be accomplished by employing a MQL5 VPS (virtual private server), in order to have your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 trading on the cloud 24/7 around the clock.


    23. If you haven't purchased yourself a virtual server for your trading account, you right click on your account number in the Navigator window and you choose >> Register a Virtual Server.




    24. In the Virtual Hosting Wizard window that opens, you choose the plan that suits you and click the Next button.




    25. Then you complete your payment. I suggest having the necessary funds available in your MQL5 account and use the MQL5 method of payment on the left.


    26. After you've completed your MQL5 VPS purchase, you need to synchronize your trading environment with your virtual server. You right click on the MQL5 VPS in the Navigator window and choose >> Synchronize experts, indicators and signal, in order to synchronize both your Signal subscription’s settings and your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 to your MQL5 VPS.




    27. After a few seconds, the smiling face of your Expert Advisor will turn sad again (and the green sign will turn red again in MT5) and the Auto (Algo) Trading button will be turned off. Also the: Enable realtime signal subscription option in the Signals settings will be unticked. That means that your trading environment was successfully synchronized with your MQL5 VPS.


    28. In order to make sure that your synchronization was successful, you need to check the MQL5 VPS Journal logs. You right click on your MQL5 VPS in the Navigator window >> Journals.




    29. In your MQL5 VPS's Journals logs, you need to look for the below message: 1 Chart, 1 EA, 0 custom indicators, signal enabled, last known ping to .... is ... ms.


    30. That means that your Expert Advisor and your Signal Subscription were successfully synchronized/migrated and now trade in the cloud environment.


    31. Now you can close your MT4/5 terminal and computer and be assured that your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 and your Signal Subscription will trade 24/7 without any problems or interruptions.


    32. The only thing you need to do every day or two, is to check your MQL5 VPS Journal, in order to make sure that everything runs smoothly.


    WARNING: After you've synchronized your trading environment with your MQL5 VPS, you DO NOT NEED TO CLICK THE AUTO (ALGO) TRADING BUTTON AGAIN in your local MT4/5 terminal, because if you do, you will trade with your Expert Advisor twice and that is very dangerous!

    Also you DO NOT TICK AGAIN the: Enable realtime signal subscription option in your local computer’s MT4/5 platform, because that way you will copy the signal twice and this is extremely dangerous!

    A last thing you must know if you use the Self Copier option of the Local trade Copier EA is that every time you need to make an adjustment in either your Signal subscription or your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5, you must tick the: Enable realtime signal subscription in your local terminal’s Signals tab and click the Auto (Algo) Trading button in your MT4/5 terminal with your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 attached to a chart with your desired settings and then synchronize/migrate with your MQL5 VPS once again, for these updated settings to take effect and start working in the virtual server.
