NeuronCopier — a local MT5 trade copier that actually thinks
Most copiers blindly mirror lots. NeuronCopier verifies the symbol by price, sizes each trade by risk, scores the master it is copying, protects the receiving account against prop-firm and drawdown breaches, and ships with a full on-chart trade manager. It mirrors trades from one MetaTrader 5 account to one or many others running on the same PC, instantly and reliably, through the shared terminal data folder. 100% native MQL5 — no DLL, no socket, no WebRequest, no external service.
Set MASTER on the source terminal and SLAVE on each target, give them the same channel name, and trades mirror in real time. Utility — it copies and manages real trades.
At a glance
- Price-verified symbol matching — maps GOLD to XAUUSD, NAS100 to NASDAQ/USTEC, US30 to DOW, by live price, not just by name.
- Four sizing modes — Equal-risk %, Balance-ratio, Multiplier, Fixed.
- Prop-Safe copy — caps and auto-flattens every copy to your prop firm's daily / max-DD limits.
- Master Score (0–100) — scales copy size to the master's live equity-curve health.
- Portfolio risk budget — caps total open copied risk to a % of equity.
- Exit overlay — your own break-even, R-trailing and partial take-profit on copied trades.
- Built-in Trade Manager — BUY/SELL, close grid, reverse, close %, ATR & R:R helpers.
- Master-off safety — when the master shuts down the slave holds your trades and stops re-opening.
- 100% local & native: no DLL, no socket, no WebRequest.
The copy engine
- One master, many slaves — one source terminal broadcasts; any number of slave terminals on the same PC receive. A slave can also merge several masters (multi-master).
- Price-verified symbol mapping — different brokers name the same market differently. NeuronCopier builds candidates from the name, a built-in alias table (metals, indices, oil, crypto) and your Market Watch, then picks the one whose live price matches the master's — so a master "GOLD" at 4170 maps to the slave's XAUUSD at 4170, never the unrelated "GOLD" CFD at 42. Broker suffixes (.r, .pro, m) are handled automatically.
- Full mirroring — opens, closes, partial closes and SL/TP changes are all copied. Optional reverse (buy↔sell) and copy-only-new modes.
- Master-off detection — the master writes a heartbeat; if it shuts down, the slave shows "MASTER OFF", holds your positions and stops re-opening anything you close.
- Journaling — every copy is logged to NeuronCopier_journal.csv.
Smart position sizing
- Equal-risk % — sizes every account to the same % risk off the stop-loss, so a $1k and a $100k account each risk the same percentage (the master must attach an SL).
- Balance-ratio — scales proportionally to account size (a 10× bigger account trades a 10× bigger lot).
- Multiplier — a fixed multiple of the master lot.
- Fixed — a constant lot. All modes are clamped by min / max lot.
Protection engines (toggle & tune live in the panel)
- Prop-Safe copy — enter your prop firm's daily-loss and max-drawdown limits. NeuronCopier caps every copied trade so a single position can't breach the rules, and auto-flattens all copies before a breach. Copy any master without blowing your challenge.
- Master Score (0–100) — grades each master's live equity curve (trend + drawdown) and continuously scales copy size to its health — bigger when hot, smaller when cold.
- Portfolio risk budget — caps the total open copied risk to a set % of your equity (book-level, not just per-trade).
- Exit overlay — run your own break-even, R-trailing and partial take-profit on copied trades, independently of the master.
- Master-health filter — pause copying a master while it is in drawdown.
- Slave risk guard — stop new copies on max positions, max drawdown % or daily-loss % of the receiving account.
Built-in Trade Manager
- Sizing — lot stepper, or risk-% sizing off the stop distance.
- Exits — SL & TP in pips, with an ATR button (fill SL from live volatility) and an R:R control (set TP from the SL).
- Execution — one-click BUY / SELL, CLOSE BUY / CLOSE ALL / CLOSE SELL, DELETE PENDING, REVERSE, CLOSE %.
- Copier control — a FLATTEN-ALL-COPIES panic button.
Live dashboard
- Slave — sync status, copied count and P&L, the live Master Score, and your configured Prop-Safe / Risk-budget limits.
- Master — broadcasting status plus every connected slave with its account, sizing and P&L.
- In-panel control — a Settings page lets you toggle every engine on/off and tune its values with +/- steppers, live, without re-opening the inputs.
How it works
Everything runs locally between MetaTrader 5 terminals on the same PC, through the shared Common\Files folder. The master writes its open positions; the slaves read and reconcile them, tagging each copy so closes and partials stay in sync. There is no internet connection, no DLL, no socket and no third-party service — which also makes it MQL5-Market compliant.

Compatibility
- MetaTrader 5, any broker, any symbol — forex, metals, indices, oil, crypto.
- Both terminals must run on the same Windows PC (this is a local copier).
- Hedging or netting accounts; MT5 build 3200+.
Please note
- Local copier only (same PC, MT5→MT5). It does not copy over the internet between different machines.
- Some prop firms prohibit copy-trading across accounts — please follow your firm's rules; the tool is neutral.
- For true equal-risk % sizing the master must attach stop-losses (that is how risk is measured). Without a master SL, sizing falls back to account-proportional (balance-ratio).
- It manages real trades — test on demo first and use sensible risk settings.
