2023.04.24
Local Trade Copier EA MT4 had a major update with many changes and additions and I strongly advise you to make this update with no open trades on the receiver account side, when all receiver copied trades have been closed.
1. Copy Long/Short true/false settings are now applied correctly to pending orders too.
2. Split Copied Trades in Parts setting works smoothly now, overriding maximal volume issues on the receiver accounts.
3. Maximum Number of Copied Magic Numbers and Maximum Number of Copied Symbols settings have been added, that allow to copy only a certain number of magic numbers or symbols at the same time on the receiver accounts.
4. Add/Subtract Points in TP/SL Levels settings have been added that can add or subtract certain number of points in the TP/SL levels of the original transmitter trades on the receiver copied trades.
5. The option not to copy transmitter trades to the receiver side if these don't have an applied stop loss level, has been added.
6. A Copy Market Trades=true/false setting has been added, allowing the user to copy only pending orders and not market trades.
7. Copying Delay in Seconds and Closure Delay in Seconds settings have been added, that allow the user to copy and close the transmitter trades to the receiver side with a certain number of seconds delay.
8. All lot size types that were previously calculated based on the account's balance can now also be calculated based on the account's equity.
9. A Reopen Closed Copied Trades setting has been added that allows the user to reopen receiver closed copied trades instantly or at the opening price if these are still running in the transmitter side.
10. Take profit can now be applied on the receiver copied trades based on risk/reward ratio of the copied stop loss.
11. New automatic partial closure settings have been added, that allow the user to close automatically and partially all receiver copied trades at 3 % take profit and 3 % stop loss levels for 3 % levels of the copied lot size.
12. Finally, a new Maximum Daily Drawdown % setting has been added that will close all receiver copied trades and pause copying until the next day, when it is reached. This will allow users to work with LTC on prop firms more effectively.
** I strongly advise you to make this update with no open trades on the receiver account side, when all receiver copied trades have been closed. **

Local Trade Copier EA MT4 had a major update with many changes and additions and I strongly advise you to make this update with no open trades on the receiver account side, when all receiver copied trades have been closed.
1. The opening/placement of copied trades/orders has been changed, applying TP/SL levels along with the trade opening. This will make trade copying even faster and will allow LTC to be used smoothly with prop firms.
2. The copy time settings format has been changed, allowing to put time periods that copying will be allowed, excluding specific times. For example if a user wants to pause copying 1 hour before and 1 hour after the NFP announcement on Friday (GMT+2 time) he can put Copy on Friday=00:00:00-14:30:00,16:30:00-23:59:59 and that way LTC will copy up to 14:30, then will pause copying until 16:30 and will copy normally again from 16:30 till midnight.
3. Take Profit and Stop Loss Multipliers have been added that will give the user the opportunity to increase or decrease the copied TP/SL levels of the original transmitter trades. These multipliers are 1 by default in order to copy the original TP/SL levels, but if the user puts for example Take Profit Multiplier=1.5 and Stop Loss Multiplier=2 the receiver copied trade will increase the applied take profit level by 150% and the applied stop loss level by 200%. In other words a 100 points transmitter TP will be copied as a 150 points receiver TP and a 200 points transmitter SL will be copied as a 400 points receiver SL.
4. Opposite Logic has been renamed Reverse Copying and a new Keep Original TP/SL Distances has been added that if it is true will apply the original transmitter TP/SL levels in points on the receiver opposite trade, but reversed of course. For example until now if a buy transmitter trade was opened with 100 points TP and 200 points SL, the opposite receiver trade was copied with a 100 points SL and 200 points TP, in order the receiver trade to close at the same time with the original transmitter trade. Now with Keep Original TP/SL Distances=true LTC will apply the original 100 points TP and 200 points SL on the receiver copied trade.
5. Two new lot size types have been added, Risk per Trade in % of Balance and Risk per Trade in Money. When any of these are selected the lot size of the receiver copied trades will be such that when the original SL is hit the receiver copied trade will lose a predefined by the user % of receiver account balance or a sum in money. These 2 new lot size types will work only if the receiver copied trades have a SL level of course, otherwise they can't be calculated properly.
6. A new Split Copied Trades in Parts setting has been added, which is 1 be default, giving the opportunity to copy the receiver copied trades in many lot size parts, overcoming brokers limitations in this area. If your broker has a small maximum lot size limit or the market liquidity is thin and you can't open large trades with their original lot size, you can split your receiver copied trades into smaller parts. If for example Split Copied Trades in Parts=3 a 1 lot transmitter trade with a Multiplier=1 lot size type setting in the receiver side, will be copied as three 0.33 0.33 and 0.34 trades.
7. Two new Ignore Transmitter Lot Size Below and Ignore Transmitter Lot Size Above settings have been added that will allow the user to filter the transmitter original trades by their lot size and to be copied or not on the receiver side.
8. Partial closure has been re-coded and will work perfectly and smoothly on the receiver copied trades from now on, exactly as it works on the transmitter side. Also partial closure can now be turned off if the user puts Apply Partial Closure=false in the receiver side settings.
9. Until now the user of LTC could apply its own TP/SL/BE and trailing SL levels in points onto the receiver copied trades. Now new TP/SL/BE and trailing SL levels in money have been added, making it easier to apply your desired TP/SL levels in account currency. These new levels in money will not work with the new Risk per Trade in % of Balance and Risk per Trade in Money lot size type settings, because its not possible to calculate the lot size and stop loss in money at the same time for a given copied trade. One variable of them has to be fixed.
10. A new Closing Copied Trades in Minutes setting has been added, that will allow the user to close each receiver copied trade after a certain number of minutes.
11. A No Copy if Transmitter Drawdown %> has been added that will allow the user to copy the transmitter original trades on the receiver side, only if the transmitter account has reach a certain drawdown. For example if No Copy if Transmitter Drawdown %>=5 the receiver account will start copying the transmitter trades only when the transmitter account drawdown exceeds the 5% level. If it does all transmitter trades will be copied, if later the transmitter drawdown goes below 5% new opened transmitter trades will not be copied until the transmitter drawdown goes above 5% again.
** I strongly advise you to make this update with no open trades on the receiver account side, when all receiver copied trades have been closed. **

2. A new Lot Size Type option has been added, the Lot Size per 1000 of Balance, that allows you to apply your desired lot size based entirely on the receiver account's balance size.
3. Total Symbol Copied Trades and Total Account Copied Trades settings have been added, that give the option to limit the receiver copied trades by number.
4. A Max Drawdown % from Balance High setting has been added, that can close all receiver copied trades and disable copying when a certain drawdown value has been reached from the highest level of receiver account's balance.
5. A No Copying if Drawdown %> setting has been added that gives the option to suspend copying new trades on the receiver account if the current drawdown exceeds a certain level. Copying will resume when the drawdown level improves above the inserted value in this setting.
6. Closing of receiver copied trades due to basket or emergency account protection settings will be done following the FIFO rule from now on, making the Local Trade Copier EA MT4 FIFO compatible.

2. Better Price option now allows the input of negative values, giving the use the opportunity to copy transmitter trades onto the receiver account, when a certain level or profit has been reached on the transmitter opened trades.
3. A Close All Copied Trades on certain day and time option has been added, that allows the user to close all receiver account copied trades at a specific day (or very day) and time.
4. Prefix and Suffix of the Transmitter Account settings have been added that make the copying from brokers with non dot prefixes and suffixes (like mEURUSD or EURUSDm) much easier. Automatic mapping of dot prefixes and suffixes (like r.EURUSD or EURUSD.r) continues to work as before.

Local Trade Copier EA MT4 has been updated with the following additions:
1. Magic Numbers to Copy setting has been added to make it easier to copy some magic numbers only, without the need to exclude all others in the Magic Numbers Not to Copy setting.
2. Symbols to Copy setting has been added to make it easier to copy some symbols only, without the need to exclude all others in the Symbols Not to Copy setting.
3. Copying Start Time and Copying End Time settings have been added, to allow time control of copying onto the receiver account.
4. Copy on Monday to Sunday true/false settings have been added to allow control over the days copying is allowed to the receiver account.
5. Maximum Spread in Points settings has been added to filter the copying of trades onto the receiver account, based on spread.
6. A Better Price Difference in Points setting has been added to make it possible to open copied receiver trades with a certain number of points improvement in opening price. For example if the transmitter buy open price is 1.08800 and this setting is 50, the receiver copied buy trade will be opened at 1.08750.
7. Custom Symbol Multipliers setting has been added, to allow different multipliers for various symbols, overriding the universal multiplier applied in the receiver settings. If for example a 2 multiplier has been set and in this setting you put: EURUSD3,GBPUSD4 the EURUSD receiver copied trades will be copied with a 3 multiplier and the GBPUSD trades with a 4 multiplier.
8. Minimum and Maximum Copying Lot Size settings have been added, to allow control over the minimum and maximum lot size that will be copied onto the receiver account. If for example you have a Maximum Copying Lot Size=5 setting and a receiver trade is about to be copied with a 7.50 lot size, it will be limited and opened as a 5 lots trade.
9. Ignore Copying Lot Size Below and Above settings have been added, to allow control over the size of trades that the user may not want to copy over the receiver account. So any size below or above these settings will NOT be copied at all.
10. Finally the option to use Virtual/Hidden TP, SL, BE and trailing SL levels has been added, to allow the user to hide these levels on the receiver account. There is also an option to show these virtual levels on chart, but this is only possible to the chart the Local Trade Copier EA MT4 is attached onto.
