Apex Copier

Apex Copier mirrors trades between MetaTrader terminals running on the same Windows machine or VPS. It copies in every direction — MT5 > MT5, MT4 > MT4, MT4 > MT5 and MT5 > MT4 — with a typical copy latency less than a second

One master account can feed an unlimited number of client accounts, and a single client can follow up to 8 masters at once, each kept fully isolated. Accounts may sit with different brokers, and hedging and netting account types are bridged automatically.

Setup takes about a minute. Attach the EA, run the 3-step setup wizard, and the client starts mirroring. Every setting can be changed later from the on-chart Settings panel without restarting the EA, and your choices survive a terminal restart.

Reliability was the design priority. Every trade event is written to a durable, ordered journal, so a client that goes offline catches up in exact order when it returns, with no lost or duplicated trades. The master-to-client ticket map is persisted with atomic writes and an automatic backup, so position management resumes cleanly after any restart. Behaviour was validated by an 8-hour continuous soak test across simultaneous MT4 and MT5 clients and by a 536-case automated test suite.

Copy engine

• Any direction: MT5 > MT5, MT4 > MT4, MT4 > MT5, MT5 > MT4.
• Mixed farms: one master feeding MT4 and MT5 clients at the same time.
• Works across different brokers on the same machine.
• Hedging and netting account types bridged automatically.
• One master to unlimited clients; one client can follow up to 8 masters.
• Full trade lifecycle: opens, closes, partial closes, stop loss and take profit changes.
• Auto-discovery of live masters, or bind to a specific master by ID.
• Duplicate protection: a replayed signal never opens a second position.
• Self-copy guard: a client never copies its own or the master's own trades back.
• Snapshot reconciliation: clients re-sync to the master's true state and self-heal after a gap.

Lot sizing, 20 modes

• Fixed lot, multiplier, divider, copy master volume exactly.
• Balance ratio and equity ratio sizing.
• Risk percentage of balance, equity or free margin.
• Fixed money risk per trade, with or without a fixed stop distance.
• Per-unit sizing: a set lot per X units of account currency.
• Master volume plus or minus a set percentage.
• Below broker minimum: skip the trade, or round up to the minimum.
• Contract-size adjustment for brokers quoting the same symbol at different contract sizes.

Symbol mapping

• Exact matching across identical symbol names.
• Suffix and prefix auto-matching, for example EURUSD to EURUSD.m.
• Custom alias groups, for example XAUUSD and GOLD.
• Fuzzy matcher with a confidence score and an adjustable threshold.
• Symbols below the threshold are quarantined and reported, never traded blindly.

Filters and trade selection

• Symbol allow-list.
• Direction filter: buys only, sells only, or both.
• Minimum and maximum master lot thresholds.
• Magic-number block-list to ignore specific strategies.
• Session filter: time windows, chosen weekdays, optional Friday close.
• News filter: pause copying around high-impact calendar events.

Execution guards and exposure control

• Maximum slippage against the master's entry price.
• Maximum spread at execution.
• Maximum signal age, so stale signals are dropped.
• Caps on total open positions, total lots, and lots per symbol.

Account protection

• Equity floor.
• Maximum drawdown from peak equity.
• Daily loss limit.
• Floating loss limit.
• HARD mode closes copied positions and suspends copying on breach.
• SOFT mode alerts only and clears automatically when the account recovers.

Advanced copying

• Reverse copying: mirror the master inverted, with stop loss and take profit swapped.
• Full pending order support: placement, modification, cancellation, and correct handling on fill.
• TPWCM: keep a client copy open after the master closes, managed by automatic breakeven and trailing stop until it reaches its own exit.
• Soft-landing mode: block new copies while letting open ones run to completion.

Reliability and recovery

• Crash-safe journaling with exact-order catch-up after downtime.
• Restart-safe ticket mapping with atomic writes and automatic backup.
• Checksummed records; corrupt or partial data is rejected and self-healed.
• Missed-open recovery: transient failures are retried within configurable price-gap and time limits.
• A position you close manually is not reopened.
• Many clients can read one master's stream at once without file-locking conflicts.

Interface

• Live on-chart dashboard: account, connection state, followed masters, open copies and equity.
• 3-step setup wizard for first-run configuration.
• Settings panel with Lots, Risk, Exposure and Filters tabs, editable without an EA restart.
• One-click pause, resume and close-all.

Requirements

• MetaTrader 5. Terminals must run on the same Windows machine or VPS.
• Copying to or from MT4 terminals requires the MT4 build of Apex Copier.
