Important notice
Copy trading requires careful risk control
Trade copying involves risk.
Copied trades can produce losses.
Users must test on demo accounts before live use.
Broker conditions, spreads, slippage, symbol names, execution speed, and account permissions can affect results.
Software cannot guarantee profit or identical execution.
Requirements
Prepare both MT5 accounts before setup
Confirm the platform, account access, product installation, and demo testing environment before connecting sender and receiver workflows.
MetaTrader 5 desktop terminal
Active MQL5 account if installed from MQL5 Market
FEF Professional Trade Copier MT5 product access
Algo Trading enabled in MT5

Step 2
Log in to your MQL5 account from inside MT5.

Step 6
Find the EA under Expert Advisors / Market.
Sender and receiver concept
Copying depends on a clear relationship between the source account and the account receiving copied trade actions.
Sender / source account
The sender account is where original trades are placed. Its trade actions become the source workflow for connected receivers.
Receiver / client account
The receiver account is where copied trades are executed when configuration, symbol, broker, and account conditions allow.
Both sides matter
Sender and receiver settings must be configured correctly. Test with demo accounts before connecting any live account.
Attach to chart
Activate the EA with the correct role
Each chart or terminal should be configured according to its sender or receiver role before testing copy behavior.
Open the required symbol chart.
Drag FEF Professional Trade Copier MT5 onto the chart.
Enable Algo Trading in the MetaTrader 5 toolbar.
Allow algorithmic trading in the EA settings window.
Confirm the EA active state if MT5 displays one.
Use the correct mode and settings for sender or receiver configuration.
Core settings
Understand copy behavior before live use
These setting areas shape the copy workflow. They do not expose source code, promise exact broker behavior, or remove trading risk.
Receiver mode
Defines the account or chart as the client side where copied trades may be opened, modified, or closed when conditions allow.
Symbol matching
Controls how receiver symbols match sender symbols, including broker suffixes or prefixes such as XAUUSD versus XAUUSDm.
Lot size mode
Controls how receiver trade size is calculated. Confirm behavior on demo before using any live account.
Fixed lot / multiplier / risk-based behavior
Use conservative settings when testing fixed lot, multiplier-style, or risk-based workflows. Broker and account conditions can affect outcomes.
Maximum lot protection
Helps limit copied size according to configured boundaries. This should be treated as a control, not a guarantee against loss.
Copy SL/TP
Copies stop loss and take profit where enabled and accepted by broker rules. Stop levels, freeze levels, and market conditions can affect placement.
Copy pending orders
If available in the configured workflow, pending order copying should be tested carefully because broker rules and symbol availability may differ.
Magic number behavior
Filtering settings help define which trades are eligible. Incorrect magic number rules can cause trades to be ignored or excluded.
Trade comment behavior
Trade comments can help identify copied trades, but brokers may modify, shorten, or restrict comment handling.
Slippage and spread considerations
Execution quality can differ between accounts. Spread, slippage, volatility, liquidity, and broker execution can affect copied results.
Advanced copy behavior
Review any advanced copy mode carefully in documentation and demo testing before relying on it with live accounts.
First demo setup
Test one controlled path first
Keep the first demo run simple: one sender, one receiver, one symbol, conservative sizing, and careful comparison of copied trade behavior.
Use demo sender and demo receiver accounts
Start with one symbol
Use small lot size
Copy SL/TP: ON if available
Use conservative lot multiplier
Avoid high-impact news during testing
Confirm copied order direction, lot size, SL, and TP
Run at least several demo tests before live use
Basic workflow
How copy behavior should be tested
01
Place a trade on sender account.
02
Receiver detects the trade according to configuration.
03
Receiver opens corresponding trade if conditions allow.
04
SL/TP may be copied if enabled.
05
Trade modifications and closures may be copied depending on settings.
06
User remains responsible for risk and account management.
Troubleshooting
Common setup checks
Most copy issues come from permissions, symbol naming, filters, account roles, broker limits, or connectivity interruptions.
EA not attaching
Confirm the product is installed, MT5 is responsive, and the EA is being dragged onto a valid chart.
Algo Trading disabled
Enable Algo Trading in the MT5 toolbar and allow algorithmic trading in the EA settings.
Product not showing in Navigator
Refresh Navigator, restart MT5, and confirm you are logged in to the MQL5 account that has product access.
Receiver not copying trades
Check sender and receiver modes, account connection, symbol mapping, filters, permissions, and whether the receiver can trade.
Symbol name mismatch
Review broker symbol differences such as XAUUSD versus XAUUSDm and confirm symbol matching rules on demo.
Market closed
Copied trade actions may fail or wait when the relevant market is closed or liquidity is unavailable.
Broker stop or freeze level restrictions
Some SL/TP modifications may be rejected if distances do not meet broker requirements.
Spread or slippage too high
High spread, volatility, or slippage can affect copied entries and exits. Avoid high-impact conditions during first testing.
Wrong sender or receiver mode
Confirm each terminal or chart is set to the correct role before testing copy behavior.
Wrong magic number or filter settings
Filters may exclude trades from copying. Review magic number, symbol, and direction filters carefully.
VPS or internet interruption
Connectivity issues can interrupt trade detection or copying. Use stable hosting where ongoing management is needed.
MQL5 login or license issue
Confirm the terminal is logged in to the correct MQL5 account and that product access is available in the Market area.
Safety checklist
Review before any live copy setup
This checklist supports safer testing habits. It does not guarantee results or remove the need for trader oversight.
Test demo to demo first
Confirm symbol mapping
Confirm lot settings
Confirm SL/TP behavior
Use conservative risk
Avoid over-leverage
Use VPS for stability where needed

Next steps
Continue with product, downloads, support, and risk guidance
If copied behavior does not match your expectations, stop live use, preserve screenshots and terminal details, and request support with the exact sender, receiver, symbol, broker, and settings context.
