Cross-Platform Trade Copying
MetaTrader 4 (MT4) to TradeLocker
Copying trades from MetaTrader 4 to TradeLocker is a popular setup among prop firm traders. Many traders develop and refine their strategies on MT4 over years, then need to execute them on TradeLocker-based prop firm accounts. TradeCopier.cloud provides a direct, cloud-based connection between the two.
MetaTrader 4 (MT4)
MetaTrader 4 is the long-standing standard in retail forex. Its broad broker compatibility, deep EA library, and familiar charting tools make it the platform where many traders have built and tested their strategies. Running a strategy on MT4 while copying to a prop firm account is one of the most efficient ways to scale without changing your core workflow.
TradeLocker
TradeLocker is a modern, web-based trading platform that has seen rapid adoption among prop trading firms. It supports forex, commodities, indices, and crypto, and is designed with a clean interface suited for both desktop and mobile trading. Its REST API and WebSocket support make it straightforward for platforms like TradeCopier.cloud to integrate with at a deep level.
Why copy from MetaTrader 4 (MT4) to TradeLocker?
The MT4-to-TradeLocker setup is particularly common in the prop firm space. Prop traders often pass challenges and receive funded accounts on TradeLocker, while their actual strategy — including EAs or discretionary habits — lives on MT4. Copying between the two means the trader never has to manually place the same trade twice, reducing execution errors and latency.
How it works
TradeCopier.cloud monitors the MT4 master account continuously. When a trade event is detected, it sends the corresponding order to the TradeLocker slave account via the TradeLocker API. Position sizing can be scaled proportionally between the accounts, and symbol mapping handles any naming differences between the two brokers.
Things to consider
TradeLocker accounts at prop firms often have specific rules around lot sizes, maximum drawdown, and restricted trading times. TradeCopier.cloud copies trades as instructed, but it is the trader's responsibility to ensure copied trades comply with the prop firm's rules. Always review your prop firm's terms regarding the use of trade copiers before connecting.
