Forex Trade Copier for Multiple Accounts:
An Exposure Ledger

A forex multi-account trade copier routes supported source instructions to several follower accounts, using the rules configured for each route. It can reduce repeated manual entry, but the same source trade can produce different quantities, fills and exposure at different brokers. Keep one row per destination rather than treating the group as one synchronized outcome.

Publisher disclosure: TradeCopier publishes this guide about its own live service. No measured customer deployment, slippage comparison or execution benchmark is presented. The worked ledger below is fictional. TradeCopier supports MT4, MT5, cTrader, NinjaTrader 8, DXTrade, TradeLocker, MatchTrader and VertexFX; verify the exact forex contract, broker, direction and order actions for the accounts being connected.

Start with an account and instrument inventory

Record the source alias, each follower alias, broker/server, account currency, netting or hedging mode, exact symbols, contract sizes, minimum and maximum quantity, quantity step and copying permission. MetaQuotes documents MT5 symbol properties, while its account reference identifies account properties and modes. Obtain actual values from the destination; the references do not establish TradeCopier's sizing algorithm.

Count source and follower accounts together when planning capacity. TradeCopier's permanent Free plan currently includes one group and three total accounts. One source plus two followers uses three slots; one source plus three followers needs four. A slot allowance does not validate a broker route or grant a third-party account permission to copy.

A fictional equal-base-unit ledger

Assume a source opens 0.20 lot of a fictional currency pair with 100,000 base units per lot: 20,000 base units. For equivalent contracts and an intentionally simplified equal-base-unit policy, a follower's target lots equal target base units divided by its contract size. This is not a recommendation to use equal-base-unit sizing or a universal risk formula.

Copying 0.20 lot unchanged to B would produce only 2,000 base units. The two followers together would hold 40,000 base units under this illustrative policy; including the source gives 60,000. Several account labels do not diversify an identical underlying exposure. Check the permitted quantity step, account currency, margin and intended stop distance separately before treating any calculated quantity as executable.

Record expected and observed states per follower

Before a controlled demo event, write the expected direction, quantity and protection state for A and B. After it, keep submitted quantity, broker response, every fill, remaining working quantity and resulting position. MetaQuotes' OrderSend reference explains why a successful request return alone is insufficient execution evidence.

Use not-run, unsupported, rejected, partly filled, matched or unresolved statuses for each row. If A fills and B rejects, report that difference explicitly. Do not retry B until its actual broker state is known. Existing positions and netting behavior can also change the outcome of a copied opening or closing instruction.

Expand the ledger when the configuration changes

Keep a version for symbol mappings, sizing rules, filters and connection instructions. Recheck affected rows after a broker/server change, contract-specification update, new account mode or new order action. A working entry test does not validate a partial close, pending cancellation or stop-loss modification.

Confirm the route before a first test

For current connection instructions, create a TradeCopier account and contact support with route details without passwords. Use the multi-follower setup guide for the broader group workflow. This page's purpose is the per-account exposure ledger, not a claim of unlimited capacity or uniform results.
