ZST Copy Trade

ZST Copy Trade — Local Trade Copier for MetaTrader 5

ZST Copy Trade is a local trade copier for MetaTrader 5. It replicates all trading operations from one master account to one or more slave accounts running on the same computer or VPS, without requiring any external server or internet connection.

Communication is handled through shared files in the MetaTrader common folder. No DLLs are used. The product is written entirely in MQL5.

Important: Setup and License Key

The product requires a license key to operate. The key must be entered in the License Key input parameter before the EA will start. Enter the license key: ZST

To configure the copier, follow these three steps.

Step 1. Attach ZST Copy Trade to any chart on your master account. Set the Mode parameter to 0 (Master). Set a Group ID number of your choice, for example 1.

Step 2. Attach ZST Copy Trade to any chart on each slave account. Set the Mode parameter to 1 (Slave). Set the exact same Group ID as the master account.

Step 3. Enable Auto Trading on all slave terminals. The copier will begin replicating trades immediately.

The Group ID must match exactly between master and slave. If you run multiple independent master/slave pairs, assign a different Group ID to each pair.
