This guide explains the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© settings used to configure transmitter and receiver accounts, lot sizing, risk management, trade filtering, symbol mapping, account protection and trade management for prop firm and multi-account setups. 

Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© Settings/Inputs Guide

• Account Mode: Transmitter/Receiver/Self Copier. When Transmitter is selected Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will use this account as a transmitter (master account) for transmitting trades to other accounts. If Receiver is selected Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will receive/copy trades from one or more Transmitter accounts. If Self Copier is selected Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will copy/multiply the trades opened by expert advisors or manual inputs on the same trading account.

• Transmitter Account Number: If Receiver is selected above, here you should type the account number of the Transmitter account. If the Transmitter accounts are more than one, you should type their account numbers separated by commas, for example: 123456,654321 (This setting has a meaning for the receiver account mode only).

• Transmitter Comment: This setting defines the comment that will appear on copied trades in the Receiver account and should be configured only on the Transmitter side. You can leave it empty to apply no comment, enter your own custom text, or use special symbols to include specific trade-related information. Use # to copy the original trade’s comment, @ to include the original trade’s ticket number, % to include the magic number, and & to include the transmitter’s account number. These symbols can also be combined #,@,%,& to include multiple details in the Receiver’s trade comment.

• Receiver Comment: This setting controls the comment printed on each copied trade by the Receiver account. If left empty, the Receiver will display the comment sent from the Transmitter Comment setting above. However, if this field is filled in, it will override the Transmitter's comment entirely. This setting should be configured only on the Receiver side.

General Settings

• Magic Number: The magic number that Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© applies to all its own opened trades, for managing purposes. Don't put 0 in this setting!

• Magic Numbers to Copy: This setting specifies the magic numbers of the transmitter trades that the Local Trade Copier EA for MT4/5© will copy. Magic numbers should be separated by commas. For instance, entering 3245,0 will instruct the EA to copy trades with the magic number 3245 and manual trades (which typically have a magic number of 0 by default). If you enclose a magic number within parentheses, such as (14), the EA will copy all variations of magic numbers that include this part. For example, entering 3245,(14),0 will copy trades with the magic number 3245, any trades containing '14' in their magic number (like 214 or 3146), and manual trades. Additionally, to copy a range of magic numbers, use the format 'first-last'. For example, 3245,100-200,0 will copy trades with the magic number 3245, trades with magic numbers ranging from 100 to 200, and manual trades.

• Maximum Number of Copied Magic Numbers: The maximum number of magic numbers that can be copied at the same time (simultaneously) to the receiver accounts. 

• Maximum Receiver Account Magic Numbers: This represents the maximum number of different magic numbers that can be present in the receiver account, including trades initiated by other EAs or manual trading. This setting is useful when you have multiple receivers across different charts in the receiver account, each with different magic numbers, but you only want to copy a specified number of them simultaneously. 

• Magic Numbers Not to Copy: This setting specifies the magic numbers of the transmitter trades that the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will not copy. Magic numbers should be separated by commas. For example, entering 3245,0 will instruct the EA not to copy trades with the magic number 3245 and manual trades (which typically have a magic number of 0 by default). If you enclose a magic number within parentheses, such as (14) the EA will not copy all variations of magic numbers that include this part. For example, entering 3245,(14),0 will not copy trades with the magic number 3245, any trades containing '14' in their magic number (like 214 or 3146), and manual trades. Additionally, to exclude a range of magic numbers from being copied, use the format 'first-last'. For example, 3245,100-200,0 will not copy trades with the magic number 3245, trades with magic numbers ranging from 100 to 200, and manual trades.

• Symbols to Copy: The receiver symbols separated by comma, that Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will only copy onto the receiver account. For example if you put EURUSD,GBPUSD Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will only copy EURUSD and GBPUSD trades. If the receiver account symbols have suffixes, such as '.r', these suffixes should be included in this setting, like so: EURUSD.r,GBPUSD.r 

• Maximum Number of Copied Symbols: The maximum number of symbols that can be copied at the same time (simultaneously) to the receiver accounts. 

• Maximum Receiver Account Symbols: This represents the maximum number of different symbols that can be present in the receiver account, including trades initiated by other EAs or manual trading. This setting is useful when you have multiple receivers across different charts in the receiver account, each copying different symbols, but you only want to copy a specified number of them simultaneously. 

• Symbols Not to Copy: The receiver symbols separated by comma, that Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will not copy onto the receiver account. For example if you put EURUSD,GBPUSD the EA will not copy EURUSD and GBPUSD trades. If the receiver account symbols have suffixes, such as '.r', these suffixes should be included in this setting, like so: EURUSD.r,GBPUSD.r 

• Comments to Copy: This setting specifies the comments of the original transmitter trades that the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will copy to the receiver account. Comments should be separated by commas. For example, entering Expert 1,Expert 2 will instruct the EA to copy original transmitter trades only if the comment is Expert 1 or Expert 2. If you enclose a comment within parentheses, such as (Expert), the EA will copy all variations of comments that include this part. For instance, entering Master,(Expert) will copy trades with the comment Master and any trades containing the part 'Expert' in their comment (like Expert 12, Expert 20, Expert 35, etc.).

• Comments Not to Copy: This setting specifies the comments of the original transmitter trades that the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will not copy to the receiver account. Comments should be separated by commas. For example, entering Expert 1,Expert 2 will instruct the EA not to copy original transmitter trades if the comment is Expert 1 or Expert 2. If you enclose a comment within parentheses, such as (Expert), the EA will not copy all variations of comments that include this part. For instance, entering Master,(Expert) will not copy trades with the comment Master and any trades containing the part 'Expert' in their comment (like Expert 12, Expert 20, Expert 35, etc.).

Copying / Multiplying Options

• Copy on Monday-Sunday:  The default copy time settings of 00:00:00-23:59:59 will copy all day long on. This setting allows you to exclude specific times. For example if you want to pause copying 1 hour before and 1 hour after 15:30, you can put in this setting 00:00:00-14:30:00,16:30:00-23:59:59 and that way Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will copy up to 14:30, then will pause copying until 16:30 and will copy normally again from 16:30 till midnight. Multiple such time strings can be inserted. If you don't want to copy at all on a specific day, just leave the setting empty. If you set Copy Current Trades=false below, trades that were opened on the transmitter side outside of the copying hours will not be copied to the receiver account when copying resumes. 

• Transmitter Server Offset Hours: Use this setting when your transmitter and receiver brokers have different Marketwatch server times and you wish to use the 'Copy Current Trades', 'Copy New Trades', 'Copying Expiration in Seconds', and 'Copying Delay in Seconds' settings in the receiver account. This setting determines the time difference between the transmitter's MT4/5 >> View >> Marketwatch time and the receiver's MT4/5 >> View >> Marketwatch server time. For example, if the transmitter's Marketwatch server time is 11:30:00 and the receiver's Marketwatch server time is 14:30:00, you should enter -3 in this setting. Conversely, if the transmitter's Marketwatch server time is 14:30:00 and the receiver's Marketwatch server time is 11:30:00, you should enter +3. Remember to fill in this setting in the receiver EA's settings. 

• Copy Long Trades: True/false for copying long/buy transmitter trades.

• Copy Short Trades: True/false for copying short/sell transmitter trades.

• Copy Current Trades: True/false for enabling or disabling the copying of existing transmitter trades. Set this to 'false' if you wish to exclude your current transmitter trades/orders during the initial setup. Adjust the 'Transmitter Server Offset Hours' setting above accordingly if you've put 'false' in this setting and your transmitter & receiver brokers operate in different time zones. 

• Copy New Trades: True/false for copying new transmitter trades. Adjust the 'Transmitter Server Offset Hours' setting above accordingly if you've put 'false' in this setting and your transmitter & receiver brokers operate in different time zones. 

• Copy Take Profit: True/false for copying the Take Profit level of transmitter trades onto the receiver ones.

• Take Profit Multiplier: This setting allows you to increase or decrease the copied TP levels of the transmitter trades. This multiplier is 1 by default in order to copy the original TP levels, but if the user puts for example Take Profit Multiplier=1.5 the receiver copied trade will increase the applied take profit level by 150%. In other words a 100 points transmitter TP will be copied as a 150 points receiver TP.

• Add/Subtract Points in TP Level: With this setting you can add or subtract certain number of points in the copied take profit levels. For this setting to work Copy Take Profit must be enabled and Take Profit Multiplier=1. For example if you put 20 in this setting, a 100 points transmitter take profit will be copied as 120 points in the receiver side. If you put -30 a 100 points transmitter take profit level will be copied as 70 points in the receiver side. 

• Copy Stop Loss: True/false for copying the Stop Loss level of transmitter trades onto the receiver ones.

• Stop Loss Multiplier: This setting allows you to increase or decrease the copied SL levels of the transmitter trades. This multiplier is 1 by default in order to copy the original SL levels, but if the user puts for example Stop Loss Multiplier=2 the receiver copied trade will increase the applied stop loss level by 200%. In other words a 200 points transmitter SL will be copied as a 400 points receiver SL.

• Add/Subtract Points in SL Level: With this setting you can add or subtract certain number of points in the copied stop loss levels. For this setting to work Copy Stop Loss must be enabled and Stop Loss Multiplier=1. For example if you put 20 in this setting, a 100 points transmitter stop loss will be copied as 120 points in the receiver side. If you put -30 a 100 points transmitter stop loss level will be copied as 70 points in the receiver side. 

• Do Not Copy Trades/Orders Without SL: Enables or disables the copying of trades and pending orders that do not have a Stop Loss applied.

• Allow TP/SL Manual Change: True/false of the option to allow the user to change the applied TP/SL levels of the receiver copied trades manually. Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will keep updating the applied TP/SL levels onto the receiver copied trades as long as the user hasn't modified them manually. The moment he/she does, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will no longer update them according to the transmitter original trades. This setting applies to pending orders too.

• Copy Market Trades: True/false for copying market trades. 

• Copy Pending Orders: True/false for copying pending orders. If it is false Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will only copy these pending orders when they will be triggered and opened. 

• Maximum Spread in Points: Sets the maximum allowed spread for copying trades on the Receiver account. You can enter a single value to apply it to all symbols, or define specific limits per symbol 10,XAUUSD30,BTCUSD1500. In this example, XAUUSD trades will be copied only if the spread is 30 points or less, BTCUSD if the spread is 1500 points or less, and all other symbols if the spread is 10 points or less. 

• Maximum Slippage in Points: The maximum allowed slippage on the receiver account, when copying a trade.

• Maximum Copying Difference in Points: The maximum allowed difference in price between transmitter and receiver accounts, when copying a trade.

• Use Copying Expiration in Seconds: True/false option to use the Copying Expiration in Seconds setting below.

• Copying Expiration in Seconds: The maximum allowed delay in seconds when copying a trade between transmitter and receiver accounts. For example if you put 60 in that setting and a trade that opened in the Transmitter account, hasn’t been copied in the Receiver account within 60 seconds (for various reasons, no liquidity or the instrument may be outside its trading hours, something usual with commodities or indexes) it will not be copied at all. Adjust the 'Transmitter Server Offset Hours' setting above accordingly if your transmitter & receiver brokers operate in different time zones. 

• Copying Delay in Seconds: Delays the copying of each trade/order from the Transmitter to the Receiver by a set number of seconds. You can enter a single value like 5 or a range like 5,20 to apply a random delay between 5 and 20 seconds. Adjust the 'Transmitter Server Offset Hours' setting above accordingly if your transmitter & receiver brokers operate in different time zones. 

• Retry Attempts in Seconds: Specifies the interval at which the Receiver retries copying a trade if it fails (due to market closure, insufficient funds, or other reasons). The default is 60 seconds to prevent excessive log entries during extended failure periods.  

• Better Price: Enables or disables copying transmitter trades to the receiver account(s) at a better, worse, or the same price, according to your configuration in the setting below. Warning: Enabling this option may result in missing a transmitter trade entirely if the market moves quickly against you. 

• Better Price Difference in Points: Adjusts the price at which copied trades/orders open on the Receiver account. A value of 0 copies at the same price or lower for a buy, and higher for a sell. A setting of 50 opens a buy 50 points lower and a sell 50 points higher. A negative value opens once the transmitter trade reaches that profit level, so -50 opens a buy 50 points higher and a sell 50 points lower. You can also specify different values per symbol using formats like 10,GBPUSD-20,USDJPY30. If your receiver account uses symbol suffixes (for example, .r), include them accordingly, like 10,GBPUSD.r-20,USDJPY.r30.

• Reverse Copying: True/false for reverse copying of the transmitter trades. If this is true Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will open a short/sell trade on the receiver account(s) for every long/buy one of the transmitter account(s) and vice versa.

• Keep Original TP/SL Distances: True/false. When set to false, the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will copy the original TP/SL levels of the transmitter trade in normal copying. In reverse copying, if a buy transmitter trade is opened with a 100-point TP and a 200-point SL, the opposite receiver trade will be copied with a 100-point SL and a 200-point TP to ensure both trades close simultaneously. When set to true, the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will adjust the TP/SL levels based on the differences in open price. For example, if a buy transmitter trade at 1.08700 with a 1.08900 TP and a 1.08500 SL is copied to the receiver side at 1.08720, the TP will be 1.08920, and the SL will be 1.08520. This adjustment applies to both normal and reverse copying. 

• Min Distance in Points for Same Symbol/Direction Trades/Orders: This setting restricts the copying of market trades or pending orders with the same symbol and direction based on their proximity to each other. Its purpose is to prevent the duplication of numerous and closely spaced trades/orders involving the same symbol and direction. For instance, if you set 'Min Distance in Points for Same Symbol/Direction Trades/Orders: 100', the EA will only copy trades/orders of the same symbol and direction if they are at least 100 points apart. For example, if a buy trade for EURUSD is copied at 1.09500, and a pending buy stop order for EURUSD is placed in the transmitter account at 1.09570, it will not be copied to the receiver side. This is because the distance between the pending order and the already copied EURUSD buy trade is 70 points, which is less than the specified 100-point threshold in this setting.

Lot Size Management

• Lot Size Type: None/Same Lot Size/Fixed/Multiplier/Multiplier by Balance/Multiplier by Equity/Proportional by Balance/Proportional by Equity/Proportional by Free Margin/Proportional Multiplier by Balance/Proportional Multiplier by Equity/Risk per Trade in % of Balance/Risk per Trade in % of Equity/Risk per Trade in % of Free Margin/Risk per Trade in Money/Lot Size per 1000 of Balance/Lot Size per 1000 of Equity/Specific Lot Size Sequence. This setting has only meaning on the Receiver account(s). 

If None is selected, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will not copy any transmitter trades.

If Same Lot Size is selected, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will copy the receiver trades with the same lot size as the original transmitter trades.

If Fixed is selected, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will copy the transmitter trades onto the receiver account(s) with a fixed lot size as per below Fixed Lot Size setting.

If Multiplier is selected, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will use the below Multiplier setting for copying transmitter trades onto the receiver account(s).

If Multiplier by Balance is selected, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will use the below Multiplier by Balance setting for calculating the multiplier that will be used for the receiver copied trades as follows. If the receiver account balance is $10000 and the Multiplier by Balance setting is 1000, the multiplier that will be used for the receiver copied trades will be 10 (10000/1000).

If Multiplier by Equity is selected, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will use the below Multiplier by Equity setting for calculating the multiplier that will be used for the receiver copied trades as follows. If the receiver account equity is $10000 and the Multiplier by Equity setting is 1000, the multiplier that will be used for the receiver copied trades will be 10 (10000/1000).

If Proportional by Balance is selected, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will copy the transmitter account trades onto the receiver account(s) with a lot size proportional to the receiver account(s) balance only. For example, if the transmitter balance is $2000 and the receiver balance is $4000, a 0.10 lot transmitter trade will be copied as a 0.20 lot trade to the receiver account.

If Proportional by Equity is selected, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will copy the transmitter account trades onto the receiver account(s) with a lot size proportional to the receiver account(s) equity only. For example, if the transmitter equity is $2000 and the receiver equity is $4000, a 0.10 lot transmitter trade will be copied as a 0.20 lot trade to the receiver account.

If Proportional by Free Margin is selected, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will copy the transmitter account trades onto the receiver account(s) with a lot size proportional to the receiver account(s) free margin only. For example, if the transmitter free margin is $2000 and the receiver free margin is $4000, a 0.10 lot transmitter trade will be copied as a 0.20 lot trade to the receiver account.

If Proportional Multiplier by Balance is selected, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will copy the transmitter account trades onto the receiver account(s) with a lot size proportional to receiver account's balance with an additional multiplier applied, called Proportional Multiplier by Balance that can be adjusted below. This Proportional Multiplier by Balance is 1 by default, so if for example the default Proportional Multiplier by Balance=1 gives a 0.20 lot size trade to be opened on the receiver account side, if the Proportional Multiplier by Balance value is changed to 0.5 the receiver lot size will be 0.10 (0.20*0.5=0.10) and if the Proportional Multiplier by Balance value is changed to 3, the receiver lot size will be 0.60 (0.20*3=0.60).

If Proportional Multiplier by Equity is selected, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will copy the transmitter account trades onto the receiver account(s) with a lot size proportional to receiver account's equity with an additional multiplier applied, called Proportional Multiplier by Equity that can be adjusted below. This Proportional Multiplier by Equity is 1 by default, so if for example the default Proportional Multiplier by Equity=1 gives a 0.20 lot size trade to be opened on the receiver account side, if the Proportional Multiplier by Equity value is changed to 0.5 the receiver lot size will be 0.10 (0.20*0.5=0.10) and if the Proportional Multiplier by Equity value is changed to 3, the receiver lot size will be 0.60 (0.20*3=0.60).

If Risk per Trade in % of Balance is selected, each receiver copied trade will have the appropriate lot size in order to lose the user defined percentage of account balance in the setting below, when SL is hit. This Lot Size Type can be used only for receiver copied trades that have a stop loss applied. Notice: If the SL of a transmitter original trade is modified, the receiver copied trade SL will be also modified, increasing or decreasing the initial risk of the receiver copied trade, but if the SL of the transmitter trade is removed, the receiver copied trade will be closed.

If Risk per Trade in % of Equity is selected, each receiver copied trade will have the appropriate lot size in order to lose the user defined percentage of account equity in the setting below, when SL is hit. This Lot Size Type can be used only for receiver copied trades that have a stop loss applied. Notice: If the SL of a transmitter original trade is modified, the receiver copied trade SL will be also modified, increasing or decreasing the initial risk of the receiver copied trade, but if the SL of the transmitter trade is removed, the receiver copied trade will be closed.

If Risk per Trade in % of Free Margin is selected, each receiver copied trade will have the appropriate lot size in order to lose the user defined percentage of account free margin in the setting below, when SL is hit. This Lot Size Type can be used only for receiver copied trades that have a stop loss applied. Notice: If the SL of a transmitter original trade is modified, the receiver copied trade SL will be also modified, increasing or decreasing the initial risk of the receiver copied trade, but if the SL of the transmitter trade is removed, the receiver copied trade will be closed.

If Risk per Trade in Money is selected, each receiver copied trade will have the appropriate lot size in order to lose the user defined amount in account currency in the setting below, when SL is hit. This Lot Size Type can be used only for receiver copied trades that have a stop loss applied. Notice: If the SL of a transmitter original trade is modified, the receiver copied trade SL will be also modified, increasing or decreasing the initial risk of the receiver copied trade, but if the SL of the transmitter trade is removed, the receiver copied trade will be closed.

If Lot Size per 1000 of Balance is selected, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will use the below Lot Size per 1000 of Balance setting, to calculate the lot size of the receiver copied trades, based on the balance of the receiver account. For example if Lot Size per 1000 of Balance=0.03 is inserted and the receiver account balance is $10000, the lot size of all receiver copied trades will be 0.30 lots.

If Lot Size per 1000 of Equity is selected, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will use the below Lot Size per 1000 of Equity setting, to calculate the lot size of the receiver copied trades, based on the equity of the receiver account. For example if Lot Size per 1000 of Equity=0.03 is inserted and the receiver account equity is $10000, the lot size of all receiver copied trades will be 0.30 lots.

Finally, if Specific Lot Size Sequence is selected, the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will apply the predefined lot sizes from the Specific Lot Size Sequence setting to all receiver copied trades, including both market and pending orders.

Add/Subtract to Same Lot Size: Applies an adjustment to the transmitter’s lot size when Same Lot Size is selected above. For example, if you enter 0.02 and the transmitter trade is 0.06, the receiver will copy it as 0.08. If you enter -0.02, the same trade will be copied as 0.04.

• Fixed Lot Size: The fixed lot size of the copied trades onto the receiver account(s).

• Multiplier: The times that the multiplied trade opened by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will be larger than the original transmitter trade. For example if the Multiplier is 1.5 and the transmitter trade is 0.10 lots, the receiver copied trade will be 0.15 lots. If the Multiplier is 2.0 and the transmitter trade is 0.22 lots, the receiver copied trade will be 0.44 lots.

• Multiplier by Balance: The amount that will be used for the Multiplier by Balance lot size type above. For example if the receiver account balance is $10000 and this Multiplier by Balance setting is 1000, the multiplier that will be used for the receiver copied trades will be 10 (10000/1000).

• Multiplier by Equity: The amount that will be used for the Multiplier by Equity lot size type above. For example if the receiver account equity is $10000 and this Multiplier by Equity setting is 1000, the multiplier that will be used for the receiver copied trades will be 10 (10000/1000).

• Proportional Multiplier by Balance: This setting will only be applied if Proportional Multiplier by Balance is selected in the Lot Size Type setting above. The Proportional Multiplier by Balance value is 1 by default, so if for example the default Proportional Multiplier by Balance=1 gives a 0.20 lot size trade to be opened on the receiver account side, if the Proportional Multiplier by Balance value is changed to 0.5 the receiver lot size will be 0.10 (0.20*0.5=0.10) and if the Proportional Multiplier by Balance value is changed to 3, the receiver lot size will be 0.60 (0.20*3=0.60).

• Proportional Multiplier by Equity: This setting will only be applied if Proportional Multiplier by Equity is selected in the Lot Size Type setting above. The Proportional Multiplier by Equity value is 1 by default, so if for example the default Proportional Multiplier by Equity=1 gives a 0.20 lot size trade to be opened on the receiver account side, if the Proportional Multiplier by Equity value is changed to 0.5 the receiver lot size will be 0.10 (0.20*0.5=0.10) and if the Proportional Multiplier by Equity value is changed to 3, the receiver lot size will be 0.60 (0.20*3=0.60).

• Risk per Trade in % of Balance: The percentage of account balance that will be risked on each receiver copied trade, if Lot Size Type=Risk per Trade in % of Balance above.

• Risk per Trade in % of Equity: The percentage of account equity that will be risked on each receiver copied trade, if Lot Size Type=Risk per Trade in % of Equity above.

• Risk per Trade in % of Free Margin: The percentage of account free margin that will be risked on each receiver copied trade, if Lot Size Type=Risk per Trade in % of Free Margin above.

• Risk per Trade in Money: The money in account currency that will be risked on each receiver copied trade, if Lot Size Type=Risk per Trade in Money above.

• Lot Size per 1000 of Balance: The lot size that will be used for the calculation of the Lot Size per 1000 of Balance Lot Size Type. For example if Lot Size per 1000 of Balance=0.03 is inserted in this setting and the receiver account balance is $10000, the lot size of all receiver copied trades will be 0.30 lots.

• Lot Size per 1000 of Equity: The lot size that will be used for the calculation of the Lot Size per 1000 of Equity Lot Size Type. For example if Lot Size per 1000 of Equity=0.03 is inserted in this setting and the receiver account equity is $10000, the lot size of all receiver copied trades will be 0.30 lots.

• Specific Lot Size Sequence: Defines the sequence of lot sizes (separated by commas) to apply to copied trades of all symbols, including both market trades and pending orders. For example: 0.01,0.03,0.06,0.09 will copy the first trade as 0.01, the second as 0.03, and so on, with the last value reused for all subsequent trades. Adding ,0 at the end (for example: 0.01,0.03,0.06,0.09,0) will stop copying after the fourth trade. Note: Once a slot is used, it is not reused, even if that trade is later closed. The sequence resets whenever all transmitter trades are closed. If you want to apply a separate sequence across multiple receivers, assign a different magic number to each one.

• Automatic Split of Copied Trades: True/false option for automatically splitting receiver copied trades when the lot size about to be copied exceeds the maximal volume allowed for the specific symbol/instrument. For instance, if a 25-lot BTCUSD trade is about to be opened on the receiver side, and the maximal volume for BTCUSD in the receiver account is 10 lots, the receiver Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will split it into two 10-lot BTCUSD trades and one 5-lot BTCUSD trade, in order to comply with the maximal volume limitation. 

• Split Copied Trades in Parts: With this setting you can copy the receiver copied trades in many lot size parts, overcoming brokers limitations in this area. If your broker has a small maximal 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.

• Split Copied Trades in Parts of: This setting allows you to divide your receiver copied trades into smaller parts, each below a specified lot size, in compliance with any restrictions imposed by your broker, typically applicable to prop firms, regarding the maximum lot size for opened trades in your receiver account. For instance, if you input 0.15 into this setting and a 0.7 lot trade is about to be copied into the receiver account, it will be copied as four 0.15 lot trades and one 0.1 lot trade. Any non-zero value entered in this setting will override any other setting in the 'Split Copied Trades in Parts' option above. 

• Custom Symbol Fixed Lot Sizes: This setting allows for different fixed lot sizes to be applied to various symbols, thereby overriding the universal fixed lot size specified in the receiver settings. For example, if a 0.2 fixed lot size is set universally, and you input EURUSD0.15,GBPUSD0.3 in this setting, the copied trades for EURUSD will use a 0.15 fixed lot size, while GBPUSD trades will use a 0.3 fixed lot size. All other symbol trades will be copied with the universal 0.2 fixed lot size setting. It's important to note that this setting only takes effect when 'Fixed Lot' is selected in the 'Lot Size Type' setting above. Additionally, if the receiver account symbols have suffixes, such as '.r', these suffixes should be included in this setting, like so: EURUSD.r0.15,GBPUSD.r0.3

• Custom Symbol Multipliers: This setting allows 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. This setting works only when Multiplier or Proportional Multiplier are selected on the Lot Size Type setting above. Also note that any suffixes the receiver account has on its symbols must be included. If for example the receiver account has a .r suffix in its symbols, this setting should be set as: EURUSD.r3,GBPUSD.r4

• Copying from Symbol Trade/Order Number: This setting defines from which trade or order number the receiver should start copying for each symbol. For example, entering 4 will skip the first three trades/orders of every symbol and begin copying from the fourth. The count resets whenever all transmitter trades of a symbol are closed. You can also set specific values per symbol, such as 2,GBPUSD3,USDJPY4 meaning all symbols will be copied from the second trade onward, GBPUSD from the third, and USDJPY from the fourth. If your receiver account uses symbol suffixes (for example, .r), include them accordingly, like 2,GBPUSD.r3,USDJPY.r4.

• Copying Up to Symbol Trade/Order Number: This setting defines up to which trade or order number the receiver should copy for each symbol. For example, entering 4 will copy only the first four trades/orders of every symbol, skipping any trades beyond that. The count resets whenever all transmitter trades of a symbol are closed. You can also set specific values per symbol, such as 2,GBPUSD3,USDJPY4 meaning all symbols will be copied up to the second trade, GBPUSD up to the third, and USDJPY up to the fourth. If your receiver account uses symbol suffixes (for example, .r), include them accordingly, like 2,GBPUSD.r3,USDJPY.r4.

• Total Symbol Copied Trades: Limits the number of open positions and pending orders on the receiver account per specific symbol. For example, setting this to 4 allows up to four active trades for each individual symbol. Once a trade for that symbol is closed, a slot opens up to copy the next transmitter trade in line for that specific pair. You can also customize limits for different symbols using a comma-separated list, like 2,GBPUSD3,USDJPY4. In this example, the EA allows a general limit of 2 trades for most symbols, but increases the limit to 3 for GBPUSD and 4 for USDJPY. If your receiver account uses suffixes (like .r), ensure they are included in the string 2,GBPUSD.r3,USDJPY.r4.

• Total Account Copied Trades: Limits the total number of open positions and pending orders on the receiver account. If set to 5, the EA will stop copying once the receiver has 5 active trades. Once a trade is closed, a slot opens up, and the EA will copy the next transmitter trade in line. This ensures you never exceed a specific number of concurrent trades while maintaining the original trade sequence.

• Maximum Risk % per Symbol: This setting enables you to establish a percentage-based limit on the cumulative risk associated with all trades/orders copied for the same symbol. If the total risk for that symbol reaches this predefined limit, the copying process will temporarily pause. For example, if you input 2 into this setting, the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will copy trades/orders for each symbol with a combined risk percentage of up to 2%. Please note that this setting applies only to receiver copied trades with an applied Stop Loss. If you enter a non-zero value in this setting, it will prevent any trade/order without an applied SL from copying to the receiver account. You can also customize settings for individual symbols. For example, if you enter 2,GBPUSD3,USDJPY4 the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will copy trades/orders for each symbol with a combined risk percentage of up to 2%. Specifically, it will copy GBPUSD trades/orders with a combined risk percentage of up to 3% and USDJPY trades/orders with a combined risk percentage of up to 4%. Additionally, ensure that any suffixes present in the receiver account's symbols are considered. For instance, if the receiver account's symbols have a .r suffix, adjust the setting accordingly. For example: 2,GBPUSD.r3,USDJPY.r4

• Maximum Risk % per Currency: This setting enables you to establish a percentage-based limit on the cumulative risk associated with all trades/orders copied for the same currency. If the total risk for that currency reaches this predefined limit, the copying process will temporarily pause. For example, if you input 2 into this setting, the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will copy trades/orders for each currency with a combined risk percentage of up to 2%. Please note that this setting applies only to receiver copied trades with an applied Stop Loss. If you enter a non-zero value in this setting, it will prevent any trade/order without an applied SL from copying to the receiver account. You can also customize settings for individual currencies. For example, if you enter 2,EUR3,GBP4 the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will copy trades/orders for each currency with a combined risk percentage of up to 2%. Specifically, it will copy EUR trades/orders with a combined risk percentage of up to 3% and GBP trades/orders with a combined risk percentage of up to 4%. 

• Maximum Account Risk %: This setting allows you to set a percentage limit on the total risk of all receiver copied trades/orders. Copying will pause if this limit is reached. Please note that this setting applies only to receiver copied trades with an applied Stop Loss. If you enter a non-zero value in this setting, it will prevent any trade/order without an applied SL from copying to the receiver account. 

• Total Symbol Copied Volume: Defines the total lot volume the Receiver will copy per symbol. For example, entering 4 will copy up to four lots of trades/orders for each symbol. The count resets whenever a transmitter or receiver trade for that symbol is closed. You can also set specific values per symbol, such as 2,GBPUSD3,USDJPY4, meaning two lots for all symbols, three for GBPUSD, and four for USDJPY. If your Receiver uses symbol suffixes (for example, .r), include them accordingly, like 2,GBPUSD.r3,USDJPY.r4. 

• Total Account Copied Volume: The maximum volume of all trades that can be copied onto the receiver account each time. For example if this setting is 2 the receiver account will copy only a certain number of trades with a total lot size of 2 lots. So if a 1 lot EURUSD trade and a 1 lot GBPUSD trade has been copied onto the receiver account, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will not copy any other trades because the total lot size of the copied receiver trades is over the 2 lots limit. This setting applies to pending orders too (if Copy Pending Orders=true) and resets when any receiver copied trades are closed.

• Minimum Receiver Lot Size: The minimum lot size that will be copied onto the receiver account. If for example the receiver calculation gives a 0.05 lot trade to be copied and this setting is 0.10, the receiver trade will be copied as 0.10 and not as 0.05 lot. In case your broker uses a smaller than 0.01 lot size, for example 0.001 or 0.0001 you need to put here this minimum lot size setting in order to be able to copy trades smaller than 0.01. This is needed for binary accounts and specifically copying of volatility indexes.

• Maximum Receiver Lot Size: The maximum lot size that will be copied onto the receiver account. If for example the receiver calculation gives a 7.25 lots trade to be copied and this setting is 5, the receiver trade will be copied as 5 and not as 7.25 lots.

• Ignore Receiver Lot Size Below: This setting allows control over the minimum lot size that will be copied onto the receiver account. If for example you have an Ignore Copying Lot Size Below=0.5 setting and a receiver trade is about to be copied with a 0.2 lot size, it will be ignored and will NOT be copied at all. In case your broker uses a smaller than 0.01 lot size, for example 0.001 or 0.0001 you need to put this minimum lot size setting in order to be able to copy trades smaller than 0.01. This is needed for binary accounts and specifically copying of volatility indexes.

• Ignore Receiver Lot Size Above: This setting allows control over the maximum lot size that will be copied onto the receiver account. If for example you have an Ignore Copying Lot Size Above=5 setting and a receiver trade is about to be copied with a 8.2 lots size, it will be ignored and will NOT be copied at all.

• Ignore Transmitter Lot Size Below: This setting allows control over the minimum lot size of the original transmitter trades that will be copied onto the receiver account. If for example you put Ignore Transmitter Lot Size Below=0.5 a transmitter trade of 0.2 lots it will be ignored and will NOT be copied at all. In case your broker uses a smaller than 0.01 lot size, for example 0.001 or 0.0001 you need to put this minimum lot size setting in order to be able to copy trades smaller than 0.01. This is needed for binary accounts and specifically copying of volatility indexes.

• Ignore Transmitter Lot Size Above: This setting allows control over the maximum lot size of the original transmitter trades that will be copied onto the receiver account. If for example you put Ignore Transmitter Lot Size Above=5 a transmitter trade of 8.2 lots it will be ignored and will NOT be copied at all.

• Minimum Volume Step: The default value is 0.01 and fits the majority of forex brokers. In case your broker uses a smaller than 0.01 lot size, for example 0.001 or 0.0001 you need to put here this minimum lot size setting in order to be able to copy trades smaller than 0.01. This is needed for binary accounts and specifically copying of volatility indexes.

Trade Management

• Synchronized Trade Closure: true/false/true for Market Trades Only/true for Pending Orders Only/true for Same Trade/Order Type. This setting in the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© allows you to determine how trades and orders are handled between transmitter and receiver accounts. You have the following options: True: Automatically closes or deletes copied market trades and pending orders on receiver accounts immediately after the corresponding original trades/orders on transmitter accounts are closed or deleted. False: Receiver trades/orders remain open or pending even after their corresponding transmitter trades/orders are closed or deleted. True for Market Trades Only: Receiver market trades will be closed only if the corresponding transmitter positions are also market trades at that time. True for Pending Orders Only: Receiver pending orders will be deleted only if the corresponding transmitter positions are also pending orders at that time. True for Same Trade/Order Type: When a transmitter market trade is closed, the corresponding position in the receiver account will be closed if it's also a market trade. Similarly, when a transmitter pending order is deleted, the corresponding receiver position will be deleted if it's also a pending order. However, if the receiver position differs (for example, market trade vs. pending order), it will not be affected.

• Closure Delay in Seconds: Delays the closure of each trade from the Transmitter to the Receiver by a set number of seconds. You can enter a single value like 5 or a range like 5,20 to apply a random delay between 5 and 20 seconds. Adjust the 'Transmitter Server Offset Hours' setting above accordingly if your transmitter & receiver brokers operate in different time zones. 

• Closure Better Price: Enables or disables the option for Receiver trades to close at the same, better, or worse price compared to the Transmitter trades, based on your configuration in the setting below. Warning: Enabling this option may result in missed closures if the market moves quickly in the opposite direction, potentially leaving the Receiver trade open and unmanaged.

• Closure Better Price Difference in Points: This setting defines how much better the price must be before a copied trade is closed on the Receiver account. A value of 0 means the trade will close at the same price as the Transmitter or better, higher for a buy, lower for a sell. A value of 50 will close a buy trade 50 points higher or a sell trade 50 points lower. A negative value closes the trade once the Receiver trade reaches that profit level, so for example, -50 will close a buy trade 50 points lower and a sell trade 50 points higher. You can also set different values per symbol using this format: 10,GBPUSD-20,USDJPY30. If your receiver account uses symbol suffixes (for example, .r), include them accordingly, like 10,GBPUSD.r-20,USDJPY.r30.

• Reopen Closed Copied Trades: This setting controls whether and how Receiver trades/orders that were closed will be reopened if the corresponding Transmitter trades/orders are still open. If set to False, no reopening will occur. If set to Instantly, the Receiver trade/order will be reopened immediately after being closed. If set to At Open Price or Better, the trade/order will only reopen when the current market price reaches or improves upon the original Transmitter trade’s open price, following any Better Price settings. If set to At a Specific Time, the trade/order will reopen at the time specified in the setting below, as long as the original Transmitter position remains open. 

• Reopen Closed Copied Trades Time: Defines the exact time (in HH:MM format) at which closed Receiver trades/orders will be reopened, provided the corresponding Transmitter trades/orders are still open. 

• Apply Partial Closure: True/false. If this setting is true, partial closure will be applied normally on the receiver copied trades, if it is false it will not.

• Close Transmitter if Receiver is Closed: Enables or disables the option to close the original transmitter trade/order if the corresponding receiver trade/order is closed. Important: This setting must be configured on the Transmitter side of the Local Trade Copier EA. 

• Virtual/Hidden TP/SL Levels: True/false of the option to use virtual/hidden take profit, stop loss levels, break even and trailing stop loss levels for all copied receiver orders/trades. When you use virtual levels, these are not visible to your broker and the market.

• Show Virtual Levels on Chart: True/false of the option to show the virtual take profit and stop loss levels on the chart. When it is true, the virtual take profit level will be shown on the chart with a lime color line and the virtual stop loss level will be shown on the chart with a salmon color line. Both virtual levels lines will also show profit/loss values for the trade on mouse hover. Notice: the virtual levels will be shown only on the chart Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© is attached onto, because an EA cannot draw lines on another chart than the one is attached onto.

• Use TP/SL Levels in: Points/Money. If Points is selected, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will apply TP/SL/BE and trailing SL settings on the receiver copied trades in points.  If Money is selected, Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will apply TP/SL/BE and trailing SL settings on the receiver copied trades in money.

• Take Profit in Points: The Take Profit level in points, applied on every copied trade opened by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© on the receiver account(s). This setting is only applied if Copy Take Profit=false above.

• Stop Loss in Points: The Stop Loss level in points, applied on every copied trade opened by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© on the receiver account(s). This setting is only applied if Copy Stop Loss=false above.

• Break Even Profit in Points: The profit level in points, for every copied trade opened by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© on the receiver account(s), in which the EA will move the Stop Loss level to Break Even. This setting is only applied if Copy Take Profit=false and Copy Stop Loss=false above.

• Trailing Start in Points: The level in points that Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will start Trailing the Stop Loss for every copied trade opened by the EA on the receiver account(s). This setting is only applied if Copy Take Profit=false and Copy Stop Loss=false above.

• Trailing Stop in Points: The Trailing Stop Loss distance in points for every copied trade opened by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© on the receiver account(s). This setting is only applied if Copy Take Profit=false and Copy Stop Loss=false above.

• Trailing Step in Points: The Trailing Stop Loss Step in points for every copied trade opened by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© on the receiver account(s). This setting is only applied if Copy Take Profit=false and Copy Stop Loss=false above.

• Take Profit in Money: The Take Profit level in money applied on every copied trade opened by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© on the receiver account(s). This setting is only applied if Copy Take Profit=false above.

• Stop Loss in Money: The Stop Loss level in money applied on every copied trade opened by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© on the receiver account(s). This setting is only applied if Copy Stop Loss=false above.

• Break Even Profit in Money: The profit level in money for every copied trade opened by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© on the receiver account(s), in which the EA will move the Stop Loss level to Break Even. This setting is only applied if Copy Take Profit=false and Copy Stop Loss=false above.

• Trailing Start in Money: The level in money that Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will start Trailing the Stop Loss for every copied trade opened by the EA on the receiver account(s). This setting is only applied if Copy Take Profit=false and Copy Stop Loss=false above.

• Trailing Step in Money: The Trailing Stop Loss Step in money for every copied trade opened by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© on the receiver account(s). This setting is only applied if Copy Take Profit=false and Copy Stop Loss=false above.

• TP Based on Risk/Reward Ratio 1/: Take profit can be applied on the receiver copied trades based on the risk/reward ratio of the trade. For this setting to work, Copy Take Profit must be disabled, and Take Profit in Points and in Money must be set to 0. For example, if the risk/reward ratio is set to 2 and the stop loss of the receiver copied trade is 100 points, the applied receiver take profit level will be 200 points. If the risk/reward ratio is set to 0.5, a 100 points stop loss will result in a 50 points receiver take profit level. 

• Partial Closure Take Profit % 1: The percentage of the take profit distance in which Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will close partially all receiver copied trades. For example if take profit is 100 points and 30 is inserted in this setting, the EA will close partially the trade when the 30 points take profit level is reached.

• Partial Closure TP Lot Size % 1: The percentage of the trades initial lot size that will be partially closed by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5©, when the above Partial Closure Take Profit % 1 level is reached. For example if there is a 1 initial lot open trade and 30 is inserted in this setting, the EA will close partially the 30% of it, therefore 0.30 lots. The remaining 0.70 lots trade will keep running.

• Partial Closure Take Profit % 2: The percentage of the take profit distance in which Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will close partially all receiver copied trades. For example if take profit is 100 points and 50 is inserted in this setting, the EA will close partially the trade when the 50 points take profit level is reached.

• Partial Closure TP Lot Size % 2: The percentage of the trades initial lot size that will be partially closed by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5©, when the above Partial Closure Take Profit % 2 level is reached. For example if there is a 1 initial lot open trade and 30 is inserted in this setting, the EA will close partially the 30% of it, therefore another 0.30 lots. The remaining 0.40 lots trade will keep running.

• Partial Closure Take Profit % 3: The percentage of the take profit distance in which Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will close partially all receiver copied trades. For example if take profit is 100 points and 70 is inserted in this setting, the EA will close partially the trade when the 70 points take profit level is reached.

• Partial Closure TP Lot Size % 3: The percentage of the trades initial lot size that will be partially closed by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5©, when the above Partial Closure Take Profit % 3 level is reached. For example if there is a 1 initial lot open trade and 30 is inserted in this setting, the EA will close partially the 30% of it, therefore an extra 0.30 lots. The remaining 0.10 lots trade will keep running.

• Partial Closure Stop Loss % 1: The percentage of the stop loss distance in which Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will close partially all receiver copied trades. For example if stop loss is 100 points and 30 is inserted in this setting, the EA will close partially the trade when the 30 points stop loss level is reached.

• Partial Closure SL Lot Size % 1: The percentage of the trades initial lot size that will be partially closed by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5©, when the above Partial Closure Stop Loss % 1 level is reached. For example if there is a 1 initial lot open trade and 30 is inserted in this setting, the EA will close partially the 30% of it, therefore 0.30 lots. The remaining 0.70 lots trade will keep running.

• Partial Closure Stop Loss % 2: The percentage of the stop loss distance in which Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will close partially all receiver copied trades. For example if stop loss is 100 points and 50 is inserted in this setting, the EA will close partially the trade when the 50 points stop loss level is reached.

• Partial Closure SL Lot Size % 2: The percentage of the trades initial lot size that will be partially closed by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5©, when the above Partial Closure Stop Loss % 2 level is reached. For example if there is a 1 initial lot open trade and 30 is inserted in this setting, the EA will close partially the 30% of it, therefore another 0.30 lots. The remaining 0.40 lots trade will keep running.

• Partial Closure Stop Loss % 3: The percentage of the stop loss distance in which Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will close partially all receiver copied trades. For example if stop loss is 100 points and 70 is inserted in this setting, the EA will close partially the trade when the 70 points stop loss level is reached.

• Partial Closure SL Lot Size % 3: The percentage of the trades initial lot size that will be partially closed by Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5©, when the above Partial Closure Stop Loss % 3 level is reached. For example if there is a 1 initial lot open trade and 30 is inserted in this setting, the EA will close partially the 30% of it, therefore an extra 0.30 lots. The remaining 0.10 lots trade will keep running.

• Close All Copied Market Trades on: false/Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Every Day. This setting allows the user to specify the day on which all market trades copied to the receiver account will be automatically closed. If 'Every Day' is selected, all copied market trades will be closed daily at the specified time below.

• Close All Copied Market Trades Time: 00:00. This setting determines the time of day when all copied market trades in the receiver account will be closed. The time should be specified in 00:00 format, indicating the hour and minute (e.g., 09:30 for 9:30 AM, 18:30 for 6:30 PM). Please note that the time should be entered based on the receiver's server time zone (MT4/5 >> View >> Marketwatch time).

• Delete All Copied Pending Orders on: false/Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Every Day. This setting allows the user to specify the day on which all pending orders copied to the receiver account will be automatically deleted. If 'Every Day' is selected, all copied pending orders will be deleted daily at the specified time below.

• Delete All Copied Pending Orders Time: 00:00. This setting determines the time of day when all copied pending orders in the receiver account will be deleted. The time should be specified in 00:00 format, indicating the hour and minute (e.g., 09:30 for 9:30 AM, 18:30 for 6:30 PM). Please note that the time should be entered based on the receiver's server time zone (MT4/5 >> View >> Marketwatch time).

• Close Copied Trades in Minutes: In this setting, you can specify the number of minutes after which each copied market trade will be automatically closed for receivers. For instance, if you input 120 in this setting, every copied market trade will be closed 2 hours after it has been copied. Please note that this setting does not apply to copied pending orders.

• Use Basket Take Profit in Average Points: (true/false) Enables or disables the 'Basket Take Profit in Average Points' feature. When set to true, the Receiver will close all copied trades/orders once the average profit across all trades reaches the specified number of points.

• Basket Take Profit in Average Points: Defines the target profit in average points (decimals allowed) for all copied trades combined. When the average of all open trades' results reaches this value, the Receiver will close all copied positions. Example: If three trades are currently at +40, +70, and -20 points, the average is (40+70-20)/3=30. The Receiver will close all if the 'Basket Take Profit in Average Points' is set to 30. 

• Use Basket Stop Loss in Average Points: (true/false) Enables or disables the 'Basket Stop Loss in Average Points' feature. When set to true, the Receiver will close all copied trades/orders once the average loss across all trades reaches the specified number of points.

• Basket Stop Loss in Average Points: Defines the maximum allowed loss in average points (decimals allowed) across all copied trades. Example: If three trades are currently at -40, -70, and +20 points, the average is (40+70-20)/3=30. The Receiver will close all if the 'Basket Stop Loss in Average Points' is set to 30.

• Basket Trailing Start in Average Points: Specifies the profit threshold in average points (decimals allowed) at which the Receiver will begin trailing the Basket Stop Loss.

• Basket Trailing Stop in Average Points: Defines the trailing stop loss level in average points (decimals allowed). If the average points drop to this level during trailing, the Receiver will close all copied trades/orders. Example: If three trades are currently at -40, -70, and +20 points, the average is (40+70-20)/3=30. If 'Basket Trailing Stop' is set to 30, the Receiver will close all copied positions.

• Basket Trailing Step in Average Points: Specifies the step size in average points (decimals allowed) by which the Receiver will move the trailing stop loss upward as average profit increases.

Emergency Trade Management

• Use Emergency Account Protection: Enables or disables the option to close all receiver-copied trades and stop copying on the Receiver account when either the 'Receiver Account Stop Loss Equity' or 'Receiver Account Take Profit Equity' levels are reached. If Emergency Account Protection is triggered and you wish to resume copying, you must close the chart where the EA is attached, open a new chart, reattach the EA, and configure the Receiver settings again.

• Receiver Account Stop Loss Equity: The equity amount of the receiver account under which Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will initiate the Emergency Account Protection described above.

• Receiver Account Take Profit Equity: The equity amount of the receiver account over which Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will close all open trades and disable copying. This must be a higher level than current equity.

• Max Drawdown % from Balance High: In this setting you can put the maximum drawdown percentage that you can accept for your account, that when it is reached Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will close all receiver copied trades and disable copying. The maximum drawdown percentage is calculated from the highest balance level of your account, since the EA was attached on it. This Max Drawdown % from Balance High setting will work even if the Use Account Protection setting above is false.

• Maximum Daily Drawdown from: Balance/Equity. This setting allows you to choose whether the maximum daily drawdown level for your receiver account will be calculated based on the account's balance or equity. 

• Maximum Daily Drawdown in %: In this setting, you specify the maximum daily drawdown percentage acceptable for your receiver account. Once this percentage is reached, the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will automatically close all copied trades on the receiver account and suspend copying until the next day. This percentage is calculated based on your account's balance or equity at 23:59:59 of the previous day. If 'Copy Current Trades' setting is enabled, the EA will also copy any transmitter trades that remain open and were not previously copied to the receiver account when copying resumes. Note that this setting remains active even if the 'Use Account Protection' setting above is set to false. To override this protection, delete the receiver terminal’s global variables via MT4/5 → Tools → Global Variables → Ctrl + A → Delete, then restart both transmitter and receiver terminals and reapply your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© setup. Important: Do not perform this action while copied trades are open, as they will be left unmanaged.

• Maximum Daily Drawdown in Money: This setting allows you to specify the maximum daily drawdown amount acceptable for your receiver account. Similar to the percentage setting, when this drawdown amount is reached, the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will automatically close all copied trades on the receiver account and suspend copying until the next day. The drawdown amount is calculated based on your account's balance or equity at 23:59:59 of the previous day. If 'Copy Current Trades' setting is enabled, the EA will also copy any transmitter trades that remain open and were not previously copied to the receiver account when copying resumes. Note that this setting remains active even if the 'Use Account Protection' setting above is set to false. To override this protection, delete the receiver terminal’s global variables via MT4/5 → Tools → Global Variables → Ctrl + A → Delete, then restart both transmitter and receiver terminals and reapply your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© setup. Important: Do not perform this action while copied trades are open, as they will be left unmanaged.

• Maximum Daily Profit from: Balance/Equity. This setting allows you to choose whether the maximum daily profit level for your receiver account will be calculated based on the account's balance or equity.

• Maximum Daily Profit in %: In this setting, you specify the maximum desired daily profit percentage for your receiver account. Once this percentage is reached, the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will automatically close all copied trades on the receiver account and suspend copying until the next day. This percentage is calculated based on your account's balance or equity at 23:59:59 of the previous day. If the 'Copy Current Trades' setting is enabled, the EA will also copy any transmitter trades that remain open and were not previously copied to the receiver account when copying resumes. Note that this setting remains active even if the 'Use Account Protection' setting above is set to false. To override this protection, delete the receiver terminal’s global variables via MT4/5 → Tools → Global Variables → Ctrl + A → Delete, then restart both transmitter and receiver terminals and reapply your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© setup. Important: Do not perform this action while copied trades are open, as they will be left unmanaged.

• Maximum Daily Profit in Money: This setting allows you to specify the maximum desired daily profit amount acceptable for your receiver account. Similar to the percentage setting, when this profit amount is reached, the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will automatically close all copied trades on the receiver account and suspend copying until the next day. The profit amount is calculated based on your account's balance or equity at 23:59:59 of the previous day. If the 'Copy Current Trades' setting is enabled, the EA will also copy any transmitter trades that remain open and were not previously copied to the receiver account when copying resumes. Note that this setting remains active even if the 'Use Account Protection' setting above is set to false. To override this protection, delete the receiver terminal’s global variables via MT4/5 → Tools → Global Variables → Ctrl + A → Delete, then restart both transmitter and receiver terminals and reapply your Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© setup. Important: Do not perform this action while copied trades are open, as they will be left unmanaged.

• No Copying if Transmitter Drawdown %>: This setting allows you to temporarily halt the copying of new trades to the receiver account if the current drawdown in the transmitter account exceeds a specified level. Copying will resume once the drawdown in the transmitter account improves beyond the value set in this setting. For example, if No Copying if Transmitter Drawdown %>=20 the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will cease copying new trades to the receiver account if the transmitter's current drawdown surpasses 20%. Copying will resume when the transmitter's drawdown falls below 20%. It's important to note that this No Copying if Transmitter Drawdown % setting will work even if the Use Account Protection setting above is false. 

• No Copying if Receiver Drawdown %>: This setting allows you to temporarily halt the copying of new trades to the receiver account if the current drawdown in the receiver account exceeds a specified level. Copying will resume once the drawdown in the receiver account improves beyond the value set in this setting. For example, if No Copying if Receiver Drawdown %>=20 the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will cease copying new trades to the receiver account if the receiver's current drawdown surpasses 20%. Copying will resume when the receiver's drawdown falls below 20%. It's important to note that this No Copying if Receiver Drawdown % setting will work even if the Use Account Protection setting above is false. 

• Copy Only if Transmitter Drawdown %>: This setting enables the user to copy the original trades from the transmitter account to the receiver account only when the transmitter account has experienced a specific drawdown level. For example, if Copy Only if Transmitter Drawdown %>=5 the receiver account will commence copying the transmitter's trades only after the drawdown in the transmitter account exceeds 5%. Once this threshold is met, all transmitter trades will be copied. If the transmitter drawdown subsequently falls below 5%, new transmitter trades will not be copied until the transmitter's drawdown rises above 5% again. It's important to note that this Copy Only if Transmitter Drawdown % setting will work even if the Use Account Protection setting above is false. 

• Copy Only if Transmitter Drawdown % per Symbol>: This setting allows the user to copy trades for each symbol from the transmitter account to the receiver account only when the combined drawdown of all transmitter trades for that specific symbol exceeds a specified threshold. For example, if Copy Only if Transmitter Drawdown % per Symbol>=2 the receiver account will start copying the transmitter's trades for each symbol only when the combined drawdown of all trades for that symbol in the transmitter account surpasses 2%. Once this condition is met, all transmitter trades for that symbol will be copied. If the combined drawdown for those symbol trades in the transmitter account subsequently falls below 2%, new transmitter trades for that symbol will not be copied until the combined drawdown for those symbol trades rises above 2% again. It's important to note that this Copy Only if Transmitter Drawdown % per Symbol setting will work even if the Use Account Protection setting above is false. 

Notification Settings

• Send Email Notification: True/false of the option to receive a notification to your email address for every new trade opened in the trading account. This notification will include the comment, date and time, symbol, price and any applied TP and SL levels. You will have to set up the Email tab of the MT4/5 >> Tools >> Options terminal window, for this option to work properly. See more in the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 Installation Guide.

• Send Push Notification: True/false of the option to receive a push notification to your mobile phone or tablet for every new original or copied/multiplied trade, opened in the trading account. This push notification will include the comment, date and time, symbol, price and any applied TP and SL levels. You will have to set up the Notifications tab of the MT4/5 >> Tools >> Options terminal window, for this option to work properly. See more in the Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5 Installation Guide.

• Send Daily Notification: True/false of the option to receive a daily notification at the predefined time below with your account’s basic details like date and time, balance, equity and margin levels. This will keep you in touch with your signal subscription or any EAs that you are trading with, any opened copied/multiplied trades and their results.

• Send Daily Notification Time: The time of the day in 00:00 format (time formats like 0:00 00.00 0,00 or 0,00 will not work, time must be in four digit with colon in between format 00:00), in which you will receive your email and/or push notification with your account’s basic details as they are described above. Multiple times can be put in this setting, separated by commas, if you want to receive many daily notifications, for example: 00:00,12:00,20:00

• Send Emergency Notification: True/false of the option to receive an emergency email and/or push notification with your account’s basic details, like date and time, balance, equity and margin levels, when your equity drops below your pre-defined level set below.

• Emergency Notification Equity: The equity level in the account’s currency units (for example 1000 is $1000 if your account’s currency is in $), under which Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© will send you an email or push notification with your account’s details as they are described above. Multiple equity levels can be put in this setting, separated by commas, for example: 6000,8000

Mapping Settings

• Prefix of the Transmitter Account: If the transmitter account has a non dot prefix in front of all the commonly used instruments/pairs, you should put that here in order to copy trades to other brokers that don’t use that prefix, without any problem. For example if your broker has a mEURUSD symbol, you should put m in this field. This setting should be filled only in the Receiver account(s). If the transmitter account has a dot prefix in front of each symbol, it will be mapped and copied automatically, without any special setting. Automatic transmitter prefix mapping works only for prefixes with a dot before the main symbol, like r.EURUSD and not for prefixes like ecnEURUSD or +EURUSD.

• Suffix of the Transmitter Account: If the transmitter account has a non dot suffix at the end of all the commonly used instruments/pairs, you should put that here in order to copy trades to other brokers that don’t use that suffix, without any problem. For example if your broker has a EURUSDm symbol, you should put m in this field. This setting should be filled only in the Receiver account(s). If the transmitter account has a dot suffix at the end of each symbol, it will be mapped and copied automatically, without any special setting. Automatic transmitter suffix mapping works only for suffixes with a dot after the main symbol, like EURUSD.r and not for suffixes like EURUSDecn or EURUSD+.

• Prefix of the Receiver Account: If the receiver account has a prefix in front of all the commonly used instruments/pairs, you should put that here in order to copy trades from other brokers that don’t use that prefix, without any problem. For example if your broker has a mEURUSD symbol, you should put m in this field. This setting should be filled only in the Receiver account(s).

• Suffix of the Receiver Account: If the receiver account has a suffix at the end of all the commonly used instruments/pairs, you should put that here in order to copy trades from other brokers that don’t use that suffix, without any problem. For example if your broker has a EURUSD.r symbol, you should put .r in this field. This setting should be filled only in the Receiver account(s). 

• Special Symbol 1-30: If your Transmitter account for example uses the US500 symbol for the US stock market S&P index and your Receiver account uses the SPX500 symbol for the same index, you should put US500,SPX500 in this field in order to copy from the Transmitter account to the Receiver without any problem. Remember that you should write the transmitter and receiver symbols, exactly as they are written in the MT4/5 >> View >> Marketwatch window, small or capital letters are very important, for example if the symbol is SPX500 and you write spx500 it will not work. You can set up 30 special symbols in the same way that is described above. This setting should be filled only in the Receiver account(s). 

* These settings/options are calculated as equity over balance, taking swaps and commissions into account.
