Copying trades from one account to another

Downloaded and tried to run the files. Everything is installed correctly and both files where on the charts I selected (after I deleted all profiles in both platforms).

It is getting an error and can not find the destination folder. I opened up my folder and created an image of it, plus the error I am getting.

I noticed that the FOLDERS on my computer are all lower case letters and the FOLDERS that you have the EA looking for begin in caps. Could this be the reason the EA can not find the folders. By the image you can clearly see the folders exist.

Thanks,
MD

where your image shows Destination mt4 folder, this has to be
c:\program files\FXDD - Metatrader\experts\files on both the provider and the processor eas, this is where they point to on your drive if c is the drive they are on.

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..

extern bool IBFX_mini = true;

.....

string symbol = OrderSymbol();
if(IBFX_mini) symbol = symbol+"m";
SaveFile(ticket: integer; operation, symbol: PChar; ...

or.....

extern string String_to_Add = ""; // if IBFX mini, user must enter "m" here.

string symbol = OrderSymbol() + String_to_Add;

I hope Terranin does this for MT5 if (when) it is released.

I do have one question. Suppose the server crashes and restarts, and the two Metatraders are reopened. Does the copier map the trades by ticket number?

If so, is it storing it in a text file in case of a reboot? This is critical. If the copier does not remember a trade it made before the reboot, it will not close it when the copied account does.

Hmmm... so this Trade Copier is to what purpose I wonder. Could it be for:

1. You have an account which is managed by a great trader on a profit sharing scheme... You dont want to share big profit so you have him manage a $1K account and copy the trades on a $100K account.

or

2. You bought an EA licensed for 1 account/broker only. To avoid paying additional license, you opted to use a Trade Copier.. Viola one EA for multiple accounts.

or

3. You are manually trading and have multiple accounts (or because you manage accounts for others)....

or 4. He isn't stupid enough to put all of his money with one broker and instead opts to protect his wealth by trading with multiple brokers. So when he trades he just has to open one order and the software automatically transfers the data to the other brokers.
