Cross-Platform Trade Copying
MetaTrader 5 (MT5) to MatchTrader
The MT5-to-MatchTrader copy setup gives traders the ability to run their MetaTrader 5 strategy while automatically replicating trades on MatchTrader-based accounts. This is particularly useful for prop firm traders managing multiple funded accounts across different platforms.
MetaTrader 5 (MT5)
MetaTrader 5 offers multi-asset trading, advanced order management, and a powerful backtesting environment. It is the preferred platform for many algorithmic traders and prop firms, making it a common source platform for trade copying setups.
MatchTrader
MatchTrader is growing rapidly in the prop firm space. Its modern interface, mobile support, and API accessibility have attracted a number of well-known prop firms. For traders who receive funded accounts on MatchTrader, having a reliable bridge from their MT5 strategy account is essential.
Why copy from MetaTrader 5 (MT5) to MatchTrader?
Prop traders often hold funded accounts across multiple firms and platforms simultaneously. When their primary strategy lives on MT5, copying to MatchTrader accounts lets them participate in multiple funded environments without manually trading each one. It also eliminates emotional inconsistency — every account receives the same trades at the same time.
How it works
TradeCopier.cloud continuously monitors the MT5 master account. On any trade event, the corresponding action is sent to the MatchTrader slave via the MatchTrader API. Lot ratios, symbol mapping, and copy filters are managed through the TradeCopier.cloud dashboard.
Things to consider
MatchTrader prop firms may enforce restrictions on news trading or trading during specific hours. TradeCopier.cloud will copy trades regardless of market conditions unless you configure time filters. Review your prop firm's rules and set up any necessary restrictions in your copy configuration.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. You can set a lot size multiplier — for example, 0.5 to copy at half the master's lot size, or 2.0 to double it.
Does this work for EA-based trading on MT5?
Yes. TradeCopier.cloud copies all trades placed on the MT5 account regardless of whether they come from an EA, a script, or manual trading.
Is MatchTrader supported as a master account?
