Trade Copier Ultimate v5.01 -- Official User Manual and Setup Guide
Navigator Trading Systems | Version 5.01
The complete all-in-one trade copier for MetaTrader 5. Copy trades from Telegram channels, Discord servers, Bridge app, or between MT5 terminals -- with automatic multi-TP splitting, trailing stops, partial close management, and risk-based lot sizing.
WHO THIS EA IS FOR (Read This First)
Best for:
- Signal followers who want Telegram/Discord signals executed quickly and consistently.
- Prop firm traders who need controlled execution: cooldown, spread filter, time filter, max lot and max positions.
- Signal providers who want to broadcast trades to Telegram while executing locally.
- Multi-terminal users copying trades between MT5 terminals on the same PC.
Not for:
- Anyone expecting signals included. This EA does not generate signals.
- Beginners who do not understand lot sizing, SL/TP, and risk management.
- Users who will not test on DEMO first.
Safety rule: Always start on DEMO. This EA opens, modifies, and closes live trades depending on your settings.
REQUIRED DOWNLOAD (For Bridge Mode)
If you plan to use Bridge Mode (to receive signals from private Telegram channels, Discord, or multiple sources), download the Navigator Command Center companion app.
Download Navigator Command Center
Note: Bridge Mode is optional. Bot API, Discord, and Local Copier modes work independently without the Bridge app.
QUICK START GUIDE
1. Installation
- Open MT5 and go to Tools > Options > Expert Advisors.
- Check Allow WebRequest for listed URL.
- Add https://api.telegram.org to the list.
- If using Bridge Mode, also add http://127.0.0.1 .
- Click OK.
- Attach Trade Copier Ultimate to any chart.
2. Choose Your Mode
| Mode | Use it when... | What you enable |
|---|---|---|
| Bridge Mode | You need private Telegram channels, multi-source routing, or Discord via Command Center | EnableBridgeMode=true |
| Telegram Bot API | You can add a bot to the channel/group (public or admin access) | EnableBotAPIMode=true |
| Local Copier | You want MT5 to MT5 copying on the same PC | CopierMode=MASTER / SLAVE |
| Discord Mode | You receive signals via Discord webhooks | EnableDiscordMode=true |
Tip: For your first test, enable only one mode on a DEMO account and confirm it works before enabling advanced features.
WHAT'S NEW IN v5.01
- Panel Settings Persistence -- All settings changed in the on-chart panel are saved automatically via GlobalVariables and restored on restart. No more re-configuring after MT5 reboots.
- Pending Order Multi-TP Splitting -- Pending orders with multiple TP levels (TP/TP/TP or TP1/TP2/TP3) are split into separate pending order legs, each with its own lot size from LotDistribution. Controlled by the new Pending Multi-TP toggle, independent of market order splitting.
- Range Entry Price Handling -- Signals with entry ranges like BUY LIMIT 5162-5163 now use the lowest price in the range as the pending order entry.
- Sequential Bare TP Lines -- Channels that send unnumbered TP lines ( TP 5169 / TP 5175 / TP 5200 ) are now auto-assigned as TP1, TP2, TP3 in order. Works for both market and pending orders.
- Bridge Drain Fixed -- The 60-second startup drain window now resets when the bridge app connects, not when the EA starts. Prevents stale signals from firing if the bridge is connected after the EA is already running.
- Bidirectional Symbol Suffix Mapping -- The EA-to-EA copier now correctly maps symbols in both directions (EURUSDm to EURUSD and EURUSD to EURUSDm) using automatic reverse suffix detection. Any suffix works on any broker combination.
- Cooldown now in minutes -- Cooldown input is now configured in minutes (default: 3 minutes) instead of seconds. Easier to understand and configure.

DETAILED SETUP GUIDES
1. Bridge Mode Setup
Use this to receive signals from private Telegram channels you are subscribed to, or from Discord servers.
Step 1: Get Telegram API Credentials

- Note your API ID and API Hash.
Step 2: Run Navigator Command Center

- Go to the Sources page and enter your Telegram API credentials.
- Click Generate Session and authenticate with the code sent to your Telegram.
- Go to the Trade Copier page, click Fetch Groups, and tick the channels you want to monitor.
- Click Save Groups.
Important: Only groups you tick and save will be read. Private chats and unticked groups are fully blocked.
Step 3: Configure EA
- Set EnableBridgeMode to true.
- Set BridgePort to 5555.
- Add http://127.0.0.1 to WebRequest in MT5 options.
2. Telegram Bot API Setup
Step 1: Create Bot
- Open Telegram, search @BotFather.
- Send /newbot and follow instructions. Copy the Bot Token.
Step 2: Get Chat ID
- Add your bot to the group or channel.
- Send a message to the group.
- Visit https://api.telegram.org/bot(YOUR_TOKEN)/getUpdates in your browser.
- Find "chat":{"id": -- this number is your Chat ID.
Step 3: Configure EA

3. Local Trade Copier Setup
Master Terminal:

Slave Terminal:
- Open second MT5 terminal (can be different broker).
- Attach EA to any chart.
- Set CopierMode to MODE_SLAVE.

Important: Both terminals must access the same common files folder. Symbol suffix differences are handled automatically -- no manual configuration needed even when copying between brokers with different symbol formats.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND FAQ
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| WebRequest not allowed error | Go to Tools > Options > Expert Advisors. Add api.telegram.org and/or 127.0.0.1 to the WebRequest list. |
| Signals not executing | Check EA is Armed (green toggle). Check Experts tab for filter messages. Confirm signal format matches supported formats. |
| Duplicate trades opening | Increase SignalCooldownMinutes. Ensure AllowSLTPModDuringCooldown=true so repeat signals update existing positions instead of opening new ones. |
| Slave not copying | Confirm both Master and Slave have the exact same CopierFileName. Check Experts tab for file path errors. |
| Symbol not found | Your broker uses a different symbol name. The EA auto-detects suffixes in both directions. If still failing, use CustomMappings (e.g. GOLD=XAUUSD). |
| Settings reset on restart | Use the SAVE button in the on-chart panel. Settings are saved to GlobalVariables and restored on next load. |
| Bridge reads wrong groups | In Command Center, go to Trade Copier tab, click Fetch Groups, tick only desired groups, click Save Groups. |
| Multi-TP not splitting | Ensure EnableMultiTP (for market orders) or EnablePendingMultiTP (for pending) is ON in the panel. |
| Range entry not working | Format: BUY LIMIT GOLD 5162-5163 -- EA places pending at 5162 (lowest value). Requires v5.01+. |
| TP/TP/TP not detected | Bare TP lines without numbers are auto-assigned TP1/TP2/TP3 in order. Requires v5.01+. |
