What you can configure
Copy type
Trade opens real copied positions; Alert only sends signal notifications. The provider's choice wins — if they send alerts only, you cannot receive trades.
Price & time
Max slippage, max waiting time, entry delay and exit delay in seconds, plus a daily time filter that can include or exclude a window. Leave the window blank to always copy.
Volume & trades
Choose how lots are sized — provider risk scaling (recommended, matching growth and risk) or fixed alternatives — then cap max lots per trade, max total lots and max open trades.
Filters
Copy only buys, sells or pending orders; restrict to certain symbols (EURUSD; GBPUSD) or exclude them with an exclamation mark (!EURUSD).
Stop loss & take profit
Copy SL/TP at the same price or the same distance as the source trade, or override everything with your own custom SL & TP distance in points.
Comments & magic numbers
Copy the provider's comment or write your own, and tag copied trades by source ticket, source magic number, provider account number, or a fixed custom value.
Drawdown protection
Set a max equity drawdown percentage; when it is hit, the copier reacts automatically to protect the account.
Housekeeping
Re-copy trades you closed by hand while the source is still open, auto-update to new versions, turn on debug logging, match odd broker symbol names, or reset to defaults.
