Find answers to common questions about using Prop Firm Copier EA MT4/5© for prop firm challenge, evaluation and funded accounts, including MT4/MT5 trade copying, multiple accounts, receiver-side risk management, different brokers, VPS requirements, pricing and demo testing.

Prop Firm Copier EA Basics

What is Prop Firm Copier EA MT4/5©?

Prop Firm Copier EA MT4/5© is a local trade copying solution that allows supported trades to be synchronized between MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 terminals running on the same Windows computer or Windows VPS.

A transmitter account acts as the source of the trading strategy, while one or more receiver accounts can copy the supported trades.

The receiver accounts can be configured independently, allowing traders to use different lot sizes, risk settings, trade filters and account-protection options for different accounts.

How can Prop Firm Copier EA help me manage multiple prop firm accounts?

Instead of manually entering the same trade on every account, you can use one transmitter account as the source of your strategy and copy supported trades to multiple receiver accounts.

This can be useful when managing several prop firm evaluations, funded accounts or personal trading accounts.

The important advantage is that the trading strategy can remain centralized while the risk management of each receiver account can remain independent.

Can I copy the same trading strategy to multiple funded accounts?

Yes. A transmitter can send supported trades to multiple receiver accounts.

Each receiver can then use its own lot-size method, multiplier, risk settings, trade filters and account-protection settings according to the requirements of that account.

Can every receiver use a different risk profile?

Yes.

The receiver-side settings allow copied trades to be managed independently. For example, different receiver accounts can use different lot sizes, proportional sizing, multipliers or risk-based position sizing.

This allows you to copy the same strategy while adapting the position size and risk management to the balance, rules or objectives of each account.

MT4 and MT5 Trade Copying

Can I copy trades from MT4 to MT4?

Yes. Prop Firm Copier EA MT4/5© supports MT4-to-MT4 trade copying between supported MetaTrader terminals.

Can I copy trades from MT5 to MT5?

Yes. Prop Firm Copier EA MT4/5© supports MT5-to-MT5 trade copying between supported MetaTrader terminals.

Can I copy trades from MT4 to MT5?

Yes.

MT4-to-MT5 copying is supported. To copy trades between MT4 and MT5, you need both the MT4 and MT5 versions of the EA.

Can I copy trades from MT5 to MT4?

Yes.

MT5-to-MT4 copying is supported. To use cross-platform copying, both the MT4 and MT5 versions are required.

Do I need to purchase both versions for MT4-to-MT5 or MT5-to-MT4 copying?

Yes.

The MT4 and MT5 versions are separate products. If you want to copy trades between MT4 and MT5 terminals, you need to purchase both versions.

Multiple Brokers and Prop Firms

Can I copy trades between different prop firms?

Yes.

The copier can synchronize supported trades between MetaTrader terminals even when the accounts are held with different brokers or prop firms, provided the relevant MetaTrader environments support the required trading operations.

Can I copy trades between different brokers?

Yes.

Prop Firm Copier EA MT4/5© includes symbol-mapping functionality that can help match instruments when different brokers use different prefixes, suffixes or symbol names.

For example, if one broker uses a symbol such as EURUSD and another uses a broker-specific symbol name or suffix, the symbol mapping settings can be used to establish the appropriate relationship.

Can one transmitter copy trades to multiple brokers?

Yes.

A transmitter can distribute supported trades to multiple receiver terminals, including receivers connected to different brokers.

Each receiver can be configured independently according to its own account and broker requirements.

Licensing and Activations

How many activations are included with my purchase?

Each purchase includes 20 activations.

An activation is associated with a Windows PC or Windows VPS, rather than with an individual MT4/MT5 trading account or terminal.

This means that you can install and use the EA on multiple MT4/MT5 terminals and trading accounts running on the same Windows PC or Windows VPS while using only one activation.

For example, if you run many MetaTrader terminals on one Windows VPS, the number of trading accounts or terminals does not consume one activation per terminal. The activation is associated with that computer or VPS.

Your 20 activations therefore allow you to use the EA across up to 20 different computers or VPS environments.

Can I use multiple MT4/MT5 terminals with one activation?

Yes.

As long as the terminals are running on the same Windows PC or Windows VPS, they can use the same activation.

The activation is not charged separately for every trading account or MetaTrader terminal running on that machine.

Are the MT4 and MT5 activations separate?

Yes.

The MT4 and MT5 products are separate products, and each product has its own activations.

If you purchase both versions for cross-platform MT4/MT5 copying, each version is licensed separately.

Pricing and Free Demo

Can I test Prop Firm Copier EA before purchasing?

Yes.

Free demo versions are available for both MT4 and MT5. The demo is fully functional for testing on demo accounts for up to 4 hours at a time.

You can use the demo to test the installation, configuration and trade-copying process before purchasing.

How long does the free demo work?

The demo is fully functional for up to 4 hours at a time on demo accounts.

After the trial period expires, the trial can be reset through the MetaTrader Global Variables as described in the Free Demo instructions.

Only use the reset procedure on non-critical demo accounts. Do not use it on live accounts or prop firm challenge/funded accounts.

How much does Prop Firm Copier EA cost?

The MT4 version is available for a one-time payment of $50, and the MT5 version is also available for a one-time payment of $50.

Rental options are also available for users who prefer not to purchase the software outright.

There are no recurring monthly subscription fees for the standard purchase.

Do I have to pay a monthly subscription?

No.

The standard purchase is a one-time payment. Rental options are also available for 3-month and 6-month periods.

Copying Speed and Performance

How fast can trades be copied?

The EA is designed for local trade copying in under 0.5 seconds under suitable conditions.

Actual copying time can vary depending on factors such as broker latency, market conditions, computer or VPS performance, terminal workload, internet connectivity and the number of terminals running simultaneously.

For this reason, the advertised copying speed should be considered a target under suitable conditions rather than a guaranteed execution time for every environment.

Is local copying faster than copying through an external cloud service?

Local copying avoids sending trade commands through an additional external cloud copying infrastructure.

The transmitter and receiver terminals communicate locally on the same Windows computer or Windows VPS, which can provide very low communication latency when the system is properly configured.

Actual trade execution still depends on the broker and market conditions.

Can I run the copier on a VPS?

Yes.

A Windows VPS is often a convenient solution when multiple MetaTrader terminals need to remain online continuously.

For best results, the VPS should have sufficient CPU, RAM and SSD resources for the number of MetaTrader terminals and EAs running simultaneously.

What VPS specifications are recommended?

The required resources depend on the number of MetaTrader terminals and the workload of the trading setup.

As general guidelines:

• 2 terminals: 2 CPU cores and 4 GB RAM

• 3–5 terminals: 4 CPU cores and 6 GB RAM

• 7–8 terminals: 6 CPU cores and 12 GB RAM

• 10–15 terminals: 8 CPU cores and 16 GB RAM

• 30+ terminals: 16–24 CPU cores and 48–64 GB RAM

These are general recommendations rather than strict technical requirements.

For lower latency, it is also advisable to choose a VPS located relatively close to the relevant broker servers.

How many MetaTrader terminals can I run on one Windows system?

MetaTrader installations and system resources determine the practical limit.

The MetaTrader platform supports up to 32 terminals on one Windows system under the standard setup. Additional Windows user profiles can be used where appropriate to run further terminal environments, provided the hardware can handle the additional workload.

The practical limit will depend on CPU, RAM, disk performance and the workload of the terminals and EAs.

Trade Copying Modes

What operating modes are available?

Prop Firm Copier EA MT4/5© supports three main operating modes:

Transmitter Mode
The transmitter sends supported trade information to receiver terminals.

Receiver Mode
The receiver copies supported trades received from one or more transmitters.

Self Copier Mode
The EA can reproduce trades within the same account, which can be useful when trade multiplication is required.

Can I use more than one transmitter?

Yes.

Receiver configurations can be used with one or more transmitters, allowing more flexible multi-account and multi-strategy setups.

Can trades from a read-only transmitter account be copied?

Yes.

The EA can copy trades from supported read-only transmitter accounts accessed through an investor password.

This can be useful when the transmitter account does not allow trading access but its open trades need to be monitored and copied.

Account Types

Can I copy trades between live and demo accounts?

Yes.

The EA supports copying between different account types, including:

• Live → Live

• Live → Demo

• Demo → Live

• Demo → Demo

Always test your configuration carefully before using it with a live or funded account.

Can Prop Firm Copier EA be used with evaluation accounts?

Yes, technically the EA can be used with supported MetaTrader evaluation accounts.

However, whether a particular prop firm permits trade copiers is determined by that firm's current rules. Traders should always review the rules of each prop firm before using any trade-copying software.

Can Prop Firm Copier EA guarantee compliance with my prop firm's rules?

No.

No trade copier can guarantee compliance with every prop firm's rules.

Prop firms can have different requirements concerning EAs, trade copying, multiple accounts, identical trading activity, external signals and other practices.

You are responsible for checking the current rules of each prop firm and determining whether your intended setup is permitted.

The copier provides configuration and risk-management tools, but it does not override or guarantee compliance with third-party rules.

Lot Sizing and Risk Management

Can each receiver use a different lot size?

Yes.

Each receiver can be configured independently.

Depending on the selected settings, you can use fixed lot sizes, proportional sizing, multipliers, risk-based sizing and other available lot-size methods.

Can I use risk-based position sizing?

Yes.

The EA includes risk-based lot-sizing options that can be configured on the receiver side.

This allows the same copied trade to be adapted to different account sizes or risk requirements.

Can I use different multipliers on different accounts?

Yes.

Different receiver accounts can use different lot-size multipliers, allowing the copied strategy to be scaled differently on each account.

Can I filter which trades are copied?

Yes.

Trades can be filtered using available settings such as symbols, magic numbers and comments.

This allows you to control which transmitter trades are copied to a particular receiver.

Can I schedule trade copying?

Yes.

The EA includes scheduling options that can be used to pause or resume copying according to specified times or days.

This can be useful when different trading accounts have different operating schedules.

TP, SL, Pending Orders and Trade Management

Can TP and SL be copied?

Yes.

The EA can copy TP and SL information from the transmitter or apply receiver-side settings.

Depending on the configuration, virtual TP/SL and other receiver-side trade-management options can also be used.

Can pending orders be copied?

Yes.

Pending orders can be copied according to the selected configuration.

They can be copied as pending orders or configured to be copied after they become market positions on the transmitter side.

Can trades be closed automatically?

Yes.

Receiver trades can be closed automatically when the corresponding transmitter trade is closed or when configured receiver-side conditions are reached.

The EA also supports partial and delayed closure options.

Does the EA support partial trade closures?

Yes.

Partial closures can be copied and managed according to the available receiver settings.

What is Reverse Copying?

Reverse Copying changes the direction of the copied trade.

For example, a buy trade on the transmitter can be copied as a sell trade on the receiver.

The corresponding trade-management settings can also be adjusted according to the receiver configuration.

Account Protection

What risk-management and account-protection features are available?

Prop Firm Copier EA MT4/5© includes several receiver-side tools designed to help traders control exposure when copying trades.

Depending on the configuration, these include:

• Maximum risk settings

• Drawdown protection

• Equity-based trade-copying limits

• Daily loss and profit restrictions

• Emergency equity protection

• Receiver-side lot sizing

• Trade filtering

• Symbol-specific controls

These tools allow each receiver account to have its own risk-management configuration rather than simply duplicating the transmitter's position size.

Can I set different drawdown protection for different accounts?

Yes.

Receiver accounts can be configured independently, allowing different protection levels to be used for different account sizes, risk profiles or trading requirements.

Does account protection guarantee that a prop firm account cannot lose money?

No.

Account-protection features are risk-management tools and cannot guarantee profits or prevent losses under every market condition.

Fast markets, slippage, gaps, broker execution conditions and other factors can affect actual results.

Brokers, Symbols and Compatibility

What happens if different brokers use different symbol names?

The EA includes symbol-mapping options that allow transmitter and receiver symbols to be matched.

This is particularly useful when brokers use different prefixes, suffixes or other symbol naming conventions.

Can the EA automatically handle symbol prefixes and suffixes?

Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© can automatically handle Transmitter symbols with a dot suffix, such as EURUSD.r → EURUSD.

Other symbol differences can be handled through configurable Transmitter and Receiver suffix settings or custom Special Symbol mapping.

For example:

• EURUSD → EURUSD.r: Configure Suffix of the Receiver Account: .r.

• EURUSD+ → EURUSD: Configure Suffix of the Transmitter Account: +.

• US500 → SPX500: Configure Special Symbol 1: US500,SPX500.

Always verify symbol mapping before using the copier with live or funded accounts.

Can I run the EA on a Mac?

Prop Firm Copier EA MT4/5© is designed to run in Windows-based MetaTrader environments.

Mac users can use a suitable Windows environment, such as a Windows VPS or compatible Windows virtualization/emulation solution, to operate their MetaTrader terminals and EAs.

Signals and Read-Only Accounts

Can I use an MQL5.com Signal subscription as a transmitter?

Accounts using certain third-party signal or social-trading services may have restrictions that prevent them from being used as transmitters.

For example, accounts subscribed to MQL5.com Signals, AVA Copy Trading or TitanFX Social Trading may not be suitable as transmitter accounts for trade copying.

Always test the specific setup and review the rules and technical limitations of the service involved.

Can I copy trades from other signal or social-trading platforms?

This depends on how the external platform provides the trades to the MetaTrader account.

If the trades are available in a supported MetaTrader account and the transmitter can monitor them, the EA may be able to copy them subject to the platform's technical and account restrictions.

High-Frequency and News Trading

Is the copier suitable for high-frequency trading?

The EA is designed for fast local trade synchronization, but trade copying is not recommended for extremely short-duration strategies where positions may open and close almost immediately.

During very fast markets, execution differences between the transmitter and receiver can become more significant because of broker latency, spread changes, slippage and market volatility.

For reliable copying, it is preferable that trades remain open long enough for the receiver to receive and execute the corresponding trade.

Can I copy trades during high-impact news events?

Technically, trades can be copied during volatile market conditions, but copying around major news events can produce larger differences between transmitter and receiver execution.

Spreads, slippage, liquidity and execution speed can change rapidly during events such as NFP and other major economic announcements.

The copier cannot eliminate these market and broker-related execution differences.

Setup and Support

Is Prop Firm Copier EA difficult to set up?

The basic setup is designed to be straightforward.

You install the EA on the relevant MetaTrader terminals, configure one terminal as the transmitter and configure the receiver terminals according to your desired copying and risk-management settings.

Detailed installation, settings and troubleshooting guides are available on the website.

Do I need to keep the transmitter and receiver terminals running?

Yes.

The relevant MetaTrader terminals and the EA need to be running and operational for the trade-copying system to communicate and process trade events.

For setups that need to operate continuously, a Windows VPS can be a convenient solution.

What support is available if I need help?

If you have questions or encounter a problem with the setup, support is available through the contact options provided on the website and through the developer's MQL5.com profile.

Before contacting support, it is helpful to provide the EA version, MT4/MT5 version, relevant settings and the Experts/Journal log messages related to the problem.

Final Questions

Is Prop Firm Copier EA MT4/5© suitable for traders managing several funded accounts?

Yes.

The software is particularly useful when a trader wants to centralize a trading strategy while maintaining independent control over position sizing, risk management and account protection across multiple receiver accounts.

The key principle is simple:

Copy the strategy consistently, but manage the risk of each account independently.
