📘 RS Trade Copier Setup Guide
🔹 Step 1 — Installation
-
Download the file RS_Trade_Copier.ex4 into the terminal's MQL4/Experts folder.
-
Restart MetaTrader 4.
-
Drag RS Trade Copier from the Navigator panel onto any chart.
📌 Repeat this on all terminals involved in copying — both providers and clients.
⚠️ Important: Start with configuring the providers
Before configuring any clients, you must launch all providers so they can transmit signals. Clients only detect active providers.
❗ You can have multiple providers. All must be running before starting the clients.
🟩 Provider Setup
On each terminal that should send signals:
-
Launch RS Trade Copier.
-
Click Settings.
-
Select Provider.
-
Click Next >, then Finish.
-
Click Enable.
✅ The provider will start broadcasting trading signals automatically. Repeat for each provider.
🟩 Quick Client Setup
Recommended for most users
On each terminal that should receive signals:
-
Launch RS Trade Copier.
-
Click Settings.
-
Select Client.
-
Make sure the checkbox Automatically detect settings is enabled (default).
-
Click Next >, then Finish.
-
Click Enable.
✅ The client will connect to all active providers and begin copying trades.
🔄 📡 Automatic Provider Detection
If Automatically detect settings is enabled, the client:
-
Detects all enabled providers on startup.
-
Automatically connects to new providers if:
-
you click Disable, then Enable again;
-
or you restart the expert advisor.
-
📌 This makes scaling the system easy: newly added providers will be available to all clients instantly.
⚙️ Advanced (Manual) Client Setup

If you disable Automatically detect settings, you can configure everything manually:
🔹 Signal Providers
-
Select one or more providers from the Available providers list.
