Local Trade Copier EA MT4© is a fast and flexible trade copier for copying and managing trades between multiple MetaTrader 4 accounts on the same Windows computer or Windows VPS. It combines local trade synchronization with Receiver-side controls for lot sizing, risk management, trade filtering, symbol mapping, trade management and account protection.
Set up your Transmitter and Receiver terminals in about 1 minute and copy manual or EA trades between accounts at the same or different brokers. Under suitable conditions, trade information can be synchronized between local MetaTrader terminals in under 0.5 seconds. Actual execution depends on broker latency, network conditions, computer/VPS performance and terminal workload.

Why Use Local Trade Copier EA MT4©?
Fast Local Copying
Trades are copied locally between MetaTrader terminals running on the same Windows computer or VPS, without requiring an external cloud copying service.
Multiple Accounts
Use one or more Transmitter accounts with one or more Receiver accounts. Each Receiver can have its own copying, lot-sizing, filtering and risk-management configuration.
18 Lot Size & Risk Options
Choose from fixed lots, multipliers, proportional sizing and risk-based methods to control how trades are sized independently on each Receiver account.
Receiver-Side Risk Management
Control maximum risk by symbol, currency or account, minimum and maximum lot sizes, daily drawdown and profit limits, drawdown-based copying restrictions and emergency account protection.
Advanced Trade Filtering
Choose which trades are copied according to symbol, magic number, comment, ticket, volume and other conditions. Long/short trades and existing/new trades can also be controlled independently.
Different Brokers & Symbol Mapping
Copy between accounts at different brokers using automatic prefix/suffix handling and configurable symbol mapping when brokers use different symbol names.
Flexible Trade Management
Control Take Profit and Stop Loss copying, partial closures, synchronized closures, trade reopening, better-price conditions, reverse copying, trade splitting and other Receiver-side management options.
Manual Trades & Expert Advisors
Copy manual trades and trades opened by Expert Advisors. You can continue using manual trading or other EAs alongside the copier.
Read-Only Transmitter Support
Trades can be copied from a Transmitter account logged in with an investor/read-only password. Receiver accounts must have trading permission.
Account Monitoring & Notifications
Email and push notifications can report copied trades and Receiver balance, equity and margin conditions.
Persistent Configuration
Configured settings remain available after terminal restarts or temporary connection interruptions.
MT4, MT5 & Cross-Platform Trade Copying
This MT4 version supports:
MT4 → MT4
For cross-platform copying involving MetaTrader 5, purchase the MT5 version as well:
With both MT4 and MT5 versions installed, you can configure:
MT4 → MT5
MT5 → MT4
MT5 → MT5
Both MT4 and MT5 terminals must run on the same Windows computer or Windows VPS for local copying.
Real, Demo & Different Broker Accounts
Depending on the permissions and conditions of the accounts involved, Local Trade Copier EA MT4© can be used between:
Real → Real
Real → Demo
Demo → Real
Demo → Demo
The Transmitter and Receiver accounts can be held with the same broker or different brokers.
When using prop firm challenge, evaluation or funded accounts, always verify the current rules of the relevant firm regarding trade copying, automated trading and account management.
20 Activations
Local Trade Copier EA MT4© includes 20 activations.
An activation applies to a Windows computer/VPS and operating-system configuration, rather than to an individual trading account or MetaTrader terminal. This means you can run multiple MT4 terminals and accounts on the same activated Windows computer or VPS.
The 20 activations therefore provide flexibility for installations across different computers and VPS environments.

Hi Eleni, It is a pleasure to write to you. I have been using the Local Trade Copier EA MT4 for over two years now, and everything has been running excellently. I am reaching out because, due to a new trading environment I am navigating, I need to start using the Automatic Split of Copied Trades feature within the EA's settings. Here is the context of my current setup:The transmitter account executes a Martingale strategy, which results in a sequence of increasing trade volumes. Let's assume that the receiver account has a maximum volume limit of 100 lots, and the EA is configured with a Multiplier x10 relative to the transmitter's original volume. Suppose the transmitter account generates a trade with a volume of 20 lots. I only want to split the larger lot sizes rather than partitioning every single trade. Therefore, I intend to use the "Split Copied Trades in Parts of" option. I have two specific questions: 1. Which account volume determines the input value for the split? If my volume safety threshold on the receiver account is 50 lots (out of the 100-lot broker limit), I need to know whether this input relies on the transmitter or receiver lot sizes: If it is based on the transmitter account, I assume I should enter 5. That way, every 5 lots on the transmitter side triggers a split, which—multiplied by x10—translates into 50-lot partitions on the receiver side. In this scenario, the final split size depends on the multiplier. If it is based on the receiver account, it would be much simpler, and I deduce that the value to enter should be 50. Could you please confirm whether the value entered in "Split Copied Trades in Parts of" is measured by the transmitter's or the receiver's volume? 2. What happens to trades that are smaller than this specified value? For example, assuming the "Split Copied Trades in Parts of" value is set to 5 lots, what happens if the transmitter opens a small trade of 0.02 lots, which equates to 0.2 lots on the receiver account (due to the x10 multiplier)? Will these smaller trades be copied normally without any splitting? Thank you very much for your time and for reading through my inquiry. I look forward to your guidance. Best regards, Billy
