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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Will the prop firm know I'm using a trade copier?

TradeCopier.cloud does not interfere with your platform or leave any detectable footprint beyond normal API order flow. However, you should always check your prop firm's terms of service regarding trade copiers.

Can I copy to multiple TradeLocker prop firm accounts from one MT4 master?

Yes. You can add as many TradeLocker slave accounts as needed under a single MT4 master.

What if TradeLocker doesn't have a symbol my MT4 strategy trades?

You can configure symbol filtering in TradeCopier.cloud to skip trades on symbols not available on the slave account.
