Sentinel Master
- Utilities
- Version: 1.41
- Activations: 10
Sentinel Master is a trade-publishing Expert Advisor designed to work together with Sentinel Follower, providing a reliable and configurable solution for copying trades between MetaTrader 5 accounts.
The system is designed for traders who manage multiple accounts and want to replicate their trading activity without manually opening and closing positions on every account.
Sentinel Master continuously monitors the source account and publishes information about its open positions, including trading symbols, position volumes, trade direction, and optional Stop Loss and Take Profit levels.
The Master does not open trades or generate trading signals. Its purpose is to transmit trading activity to connected Sentinel Follower instances.
IMPORTANT — SENTINEL FOLLOWER REQUIRED
Sentinel Master cannot copy trades on its own.
The system consists of two separate Expert Advisors:
-
Sentinel Master: Installed on the source account to monitor and publish trading positions.
-
Sentinel Follower: Installed on each receiving account to replicate and manage the published trades.
Both components are required for the complete copying system to operate.
Sentinel Follower must be obtained and configured separately.

DISCLAIMER
Trading financial instruments involves significant risk and may result in the loss of capital.
Sentinel Master is a trade-publishing utility, not an automated trading strategy or profit-generating system.
Copied trades may differ from Master positions due to broker execution conditions, spreads, slippage, latency, symbol specifications, available margin, and account configuration.
The software does not guarantee identical execution prices, trading performance, or protection against financial losses.
Always test the complete Master/Follower setup on demo accounts before using real funds.
