Copying trades from one account to another

I created some tool that allows to copy trades from one MetaTrader account to another or even from multiple accounts to one account.

The purpose of this software is to help traders, who uses Meta Trader 4 trading terminal, in their routine work with trading signals.


Some traders, who can not trade successfully by themselves, prefer to copy trades of professional traders. Some successful traders would like to increase their profit by selling trading signals. But it is very hard task to process those signals manually. You should wait for those signals 24 hours a day, what can happen if you were away from your computer when signal came? You can lose your money.

You can read about this software and download it here. This is absolutely FREE software, no money now or sometime in the future.

Hello Terranin
nice work, i searched for long time how to avoid external DLL
to reach files out of MT \files directory, but i guess it cannot be done in pure MQL.

any way you job scheduling seems very nice, the only issue is that i want to add it to my EA and not as an additional window running additional EA.

can you please release your source code ?
thanks in advance, any reply will be welcomed.

You have great tools, and they've been a great help to me.. Especially the Delphi code etc.

I ended up writing my own broadcaster as I wanted to be able to send my orders over the Net, to many clients. So far so good.

The only way you can do Raw TCP/IP is to use A DLL. so, we have a DLL to send the orders from One EA, and A DLL on the client side. works fine..

This way, ANY EA can be transmitted.

Thanks again for great tools..

Hi, I am trying your software, and cannot get it to operate. The signal provider writes the file in the directory, but the processor says no new task. What do you think, or what am I doing wrong?

I have a similar request. I'd like to transmit my OWN EA signals from one MT4 account to another one on my computer.

Can this be done?

Thanks for this software effort.

EDIT) It worked! By opening 2 H1 charts in my "signal provider" MT4, and having my EA on one, with the signalproviderEA on the other on, it executed the trades to the 2nd "signalprocessor" MT4.

Will it support OrderModify() & OrderClose()?

there's no certain folder the destination has to go in, is there? I haver tried the root mt4, the experts, neither work for me.

it's not broker dependant, is it? I have IBFX, and have tried going from mini to standard, and standard to mini, and standard to standard, I am stumped.

Hmmmm....

When you do the install, let it choose its destination.

Then you use the menu (that pops up at the end of the installation) to find the root folders for both the source and destination folders of the 2 MT4s. For example, if IBFX is installed to "C:\Program Files\IBFX" then you find that folder with the file navigator. The menu will tell you if it is not an MT4 directory.

Sorry I can't help further, but its something you really have to be in front of the computer to fix.

both places, on provider, and on processor, point to the same directory, correct?

No! There is your problem.

You point one to the IBFX directory, and the other to (for example) the FXDD directory.

1) The first points to "C:\Program Files\IBFX Metatrader 4" (signalprovider)

2) The second points to "C:\Program Files\FXDD Metatrader 4" (signalprocessor)

That assumes FXDD is the broker you want to mirror IBFX trades to.

You should probably uninstall, then reinstall for the new attempt. (at least I would)

i pointed those to different locations, I am talking about the ea box info of each. I had already did an uninstall, and install again. In the ea setup boxes, what do you change those directories to?

You don't. Open charts in both MT4s that you chose during the install.

A frowny face will be in the signalprovider chart, and a smily face will be on the processor chart.

Execute a trade on that pair on the provider MT4, and it will appear in the processor MT4.

ok, let me try that, you don't enable live trading on the signal provider chart?

when i do the install, it does not install either eas on a chart, so i have to put the ea on a chart, and the directories on provider says <Destination MT4 folder>\Experts\Files and the processor says <MT4 source folder>\Experts\Files

  • Jan 8, 2008 6:45am Jan 8, 2008 6:45am
For me, the setup program put the EAs on the chart for me (based on the pair I chose from the menu during the install)

Something is wrong.

maybe i will try 2 demo fresh installs to see if that works

  • Jan 8, 2008 9:38am Jan 8, 2008 9:38am
ok, fresh demo install works good, directory is \experts\files\. So If I add that to my non demo account, should work, we'll see.
