Hi,

Yes it copies from same account types, so netting to netting will work.

It only copies actual trades once they are placed, so limit orders won't copy until they become trades.

Thank you for the information and thank you for providing this tool free of charge.

Regards.

Hello, 
I'm using this EA and it works great. I'm trying to get the remote sharing working.

I have the provider successfully publishing the SCV file on a remote FTP server. The only setting I have set for the the provide is the FTP in the MT5 options and the  REMOTE_FTP_PUBLISH set to true. I can the CSV file gets update on the ftp host as epxected

On the receiver end I have the settings like this

 I also tried LOT_SIZE - PROPORTIONAL_TO_BALANCE but there is no difference. 

The result is that trades don't get copied and also in the logs I see it tries to but 50 LOG of GBPUSD when it should be 0.01 or proportional to balance with 200 euro account

I need to get the remote copying working. Can anyone please help?

Just to add to the above, I tried LOCAL copying on the same MT5 instance and same account. Works fine. It's only the remote copying that fails because it tries to make huge orders. I check the local directory for Sharing-Is-Caring in AppData and the files from the remote provider are there and getting updated correctly. I even see logs in the journal on the receiver end when the provider creates a new order. However the provider buys a 0.01 LOT for example and all the trades in the CVS file are correct. Regardless the EA on the receiver end tries to open order for 50 LOT or even 100 LOT.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I looked at the documentation and all seems to be correct.

Hi, it's a strange one you are having. Try checking that the account types and currency between provider and receiver are the same, if they are different than calculations could get wonky as noted in the guide. If all ok then it's some other serious bug I need to check but I won't have capacity for some time

Hello,

After a long period of experimentation I can say that yes, the different accounts is the problem. My accounts are of the same type. Hedged accounts all of them. However the broker is different. I've experimented with few accounts copying only from other accounts from the same broker. It the PROPORTIONAL_TO_BALANCE option seems to work as expect so far. If anything changes I'll post another update.

P.S. I haven't confirm the remote FTP option for the same accounts. From what I saw it didn't matter. All orders were 100 lot or 50 lot. However there is way around that. Just open another MT5 terminal on the remote machine and login into the same account. From there you can copy in other accounts on that machine. etc. Not perfect but it works great.

One more note. I would change the calculation option to be PROPORTIONAL_TO_FREE_MARGIN. No TO_BALANCE. Seems safer. Otherwise if you copy from multiple providers it's easy to get overwhelmed  and hit a max DD. Or my case blow few accounts :)

Thank you for the update on this issue, yes please post update when you have more info.

You are correct about using free_margin for proportional sizing, it is safer. I will make a note to add it as an option for future enhancement.

What is the issue if the error is "Invalid Volume". I have this run on a broker and when I trade their Gold, I got this error regardless of what LOT_SIZE option I set or lot size I tried. I tried 0.01 to 0.1 still getting "Invalid volume". There is no issue with currency and on the other broker I run it to.

Also, can this run in different brokers? Some brokers has different symbols ("EURUSD, EURUSD.x", or "XAUUSD, GOLD, GOLD.x").

Thank you for the detailed error report and screenshot. I have no idea what the issue is but I will try recreating the error using the same setup as you have described.

I will update you once I have had a chance to check

On your demo provider and receiver accounts, could you please provide the following:

    Account Leverage

    Initial Margin Rate on traded instrument

You can insert the "AccountInfoSample" script into your chart to get account details. Check the symbol specification for initial marging rate for that instrument

Hi, new version released which should fix the issues mentioned.

There is now an option to not use leverage when sizing lots which you can try if still having issues.

Hi,

Thank you for this new version. This solved my "Invalid volume" issue.

Thank you for feedback, glad it's now sorted.

hello please can this ea reverse orders?

I don't know if you've solved your problem with the lot sizes yet but I was having the same issue until I disabled the option to use leverage.

Hi,

I have four prop MT5 accounts with same broker all the same size all on same computer. I usually put the same trades on each account so Trade Copier was just what I need, setting one account as provider and the other three as receiver. However, when I leave pending orders, usually buy stop the three receiver accounts make a double buy compared to the provider account!

Any idea what is causing this and how to stop this happening? Sometimes when I buy at the market it doesn't happen and sometimes it does!

This apart I like the Trade Copier very much and have adjusted my size when leaving pending orders to compensate.

Kind regards,

John Mitchell
