Cross-Platform Trade Copying with TradeCopier:
Routes and Checks

Platform support update (September 25, 2026): TradeCopier supports MT4, MT5, cTrader, NinjaTrader 8, DXTrade, TradeLocker, MatchTrader and VertexFX. The inspected self-service menu showed MT5, TradeLocker and cTrader; ask support for setup instructions for the other platforms. Confirm your exact broker, account mode, copying direction, instrument and order actions before live use.

The inspected TradeCopier self-service app offers MT5, TradeLocker and cTrader account connection choices. A connection choice does not establish that a particular source-to-follower direction, broker server, account mode, instrument or order action works. TradeCopier also supports MT4, NinjaTrader 8, DXTrade, MatchTrader and VertexFX; those were not shown in the inspected self-service menu, so obtain their setup instructions from support. Check the exact route before connecting a live account.

Publisher disclosure: TradeCopier publishes this guide about its own product. The public platform overview, cloud workflow and plan limits were checked September 24, 2026 (UTC). This article does not report an independent route test, routing or execution benchmark, uptime result, or broker-fill comparison. The account choices are starting points, not certification of a platform pair.

What does cross-platform copying include?

A designated source account produces an event. TradeCopier applies the eligible copying rules, size and symbol mapping, then sends a request through a supported destination connection. The destination broker or platform can accept, reject or partly execute that request. An instruction that was sent is not necessarily a position that was filled.

The current platform overview lists eight supported platforms and distinguishes the observed self-service choices from a tested source-to-destination matrix. Both cTrader and MT5 appear as choices, but that alone does not demonstrate a cTrader-to-MT5 route. MT4 was not selectable in the inspected flow, so an MT4-to-MT5 proposal needs current connector documentation and a demonstrated account-pair route. Ask support about the precise direction, broker servers and order actions; do not infer reverse-direction support from one working direction.

Why do orders need a route-specific test?

The source and follower can use different symbol names, contract sizes, volume steps, order types and position accounting. MetaQuotes distinguishes orders, deals and positions and documents that MT5 netting and hedging accounts can hold different position structures. Those platform facts explain why a copied source instruction needs a destination-state check; they do not prove what any particular TradeCopier connector supports.

1. Record the source and follower platform, broker or server, account mode, instrument and contract specification. Check the current plan's total-account and group limits.
2. Confirm the direction, connector version and location, trading permissions, symbol mapping, quantity rule and the order actions you intend to use. For a prop-firm account, obtain permission for the precise workflow separately.
3. Where permitted, test opening, modification, pending orders, partial and full closes, rejection handling and reconnect behavior at a controlled size. Record unsupported or untested actions as such.
4. Compare the source event and copier activity with the follower broker's order, every fill or deal and final position. A successful request alone is insufficient: the MT5 OrderSend reference explicitly separates request acceptance from execution.

Does cloud routing remove every local dependency?

No personal VPS is required just to run TradeCopier's hosted router. Closing the browser dashboard does not by itself stop that router. The source and follower connections, and any terminal component, connector or authenticated session required by their connection method, still need to remain available. The cloud page asks users to confirm whether the connector for a particular route is hosted or local before switching off a terminal or computer. Confirm dependencies for the exact accounts rather than assuming all connection choices have the same requirements.

How many follower accounts can one plan include?

TradeCopier does not publish unlimited follower capacity. The permanent Free plan includes one trading group and three total connected accounts. The currently published Pro and Pro Plus plans include five groups and 15 accounts, and 20 groups and 60 accounts, respectively. These are total-account limits, not that many followers in addition to a source. Confirm how the source and followers count in your proposed setup before purchase. Paid-plan add-ons and billing terms are described on the pricing page.

What can speed and logs establish?

Cross-platform routing time, destination acceptance and the first or complete broker fill are different measurements. This article has no dated public method or result that verifies an end-to-end speed or uptime figure. Network conditions, broker processing and market liquidity can change the outcome. Use IDs and timestamps from the source, copier and destination account to diagnose a particular event. A copied trade can differ in price, size or final position, so reconcile actual broker records before treating the accounts as synchronized.

Start with the platform overview for the observed app choices, the cross-platform feature overview for route checks and the cloud page for hosting dependencies. The pricing page is the current source for plan capacity. These pages can change; verify your account route and contract terms when configuring the copier.
