DXtrade: The Growing Prop Firm Platform
DXtrade (by Devexperts) has rapidly gained adoption among prop firms. FTMO, The 5%ers, and several other firms now offer DXtrade as a platform option. For traders who run their strategy on MT4 or MT5, this creates a bridging challenge — most trade copiers don't support DXtrade at all.
ConnectXCopy supports DXtrade alongside MT4, MT5, cTrader, Match-Trader, and TradeLocker — making it one of the only copiers that can bridge trades to DXtrade.
Setup: Copying from MT5 to DXtrade
1. Add Your MT5 Account (Master)
In the ConnectXCopy dashboard, go to Accounts > Add Account. Select MT5, enter your credentials, and connect.
2. Add Your DXtrade Account (Slave)
Click Add Account, select DXtrade. Enter your DXtrade username, password, and the broker/prop firm's DXtrade server. ConnectXCopy connects and discovers your trading account.
3. Create the Copier
Go to Copiers > New Copier. Select MT5 as master, DXtrade as slave. Configure:
- Lot sizing: Balance ratio or fixed lot
- Equity protection: Set 2-3% below your prop firm's drawdown limit
- Copy SL/TP: Yes (always, for prop firm accounts)
Click Start. Your MT5 trades now copy to DXtrade automatically.
DXtrade Considerations
- Symbol names — DXtrade uses its own naming conventions. ConnectXCopy auto-maps most common instruments.
- Order types — Market orders, limit orders, stop orders, and modifications are supported.
- Execution — DXtrade uses market execution with the prop firm's liquidity.
Works from Any Source Platform
You can copy to DXtrade from any platform ConnectXCopy supports:
- MT4 → DXtrade
- MT5 → DXtrade
- cTrader → DXtrade
- Match-Trader → DXtrade
- TradeLocker → DXtrade
And vice versa — if you're trading directly on DXtrade and want to copy to your personal MT5 account, just reverse the master/slave roles.
Why DXtrade Support Matters for Prop Firm Traders
More prop firms are migrating to DXtrade for its cost structure and API flexibility. Traders who can only use MT4/MT5 copiers are locked out of these opportunities. With ConnectXCopy, your copier works regardless of which platform the prop firm offers — now and as the industry evolves.
