cTrader to Match-Trader Trade Copier
Copy your cTrader trades to Match-Trader accounts, with stop changes carried across and sizing set per destination.
ConnectX Copy connects a cTrader master to Match-Trader destinations. cTrader pushes fills as they happen, and Match-Trader accepts edits to an open position — so both the entry and any later stop adjustment reach the copy.
Match-Trader is common at funded-account providers, so this pairing usually means driving a firm account from the cTrader account you trade yourself.
The cTrader connection uses OAuth, so the firm account and your own account are linked without a trading password changing hands.
How cTrader → Match-Trader copying works
cTrader is authorised
Approve access on cTrader’s own screen; no password is stored.
Match-Trader is connected
Add the account with its email, password and broker details.
The order is translated
The instrument is mapped and the size converted between the two platforms.
Stops travel and keep travelling
The position opens with its stop, and a later change on cTrader is applied to the Match-Trader trade.

Risk and lot-sizing controls
Balance or equity scaling, which suits a firm account sized differently from your own.
Fixed master balance sizing so withdrawals from the cTrader account do not resize the copy.
Lot floors and ceilings matched to the Match-Trader broker’s own limits.
Direction and size filters on the cTrader side, applied before the destination is sized.
Equity protection with a daily reset, matching how firms usually measure a loss limit.
Symbol mapping
cTrader and Match-Trader both use their own instrument naming, so mapping is resolved before the order is placed.
Indices and metals usually need an explicit mapping.
Where the two venues quote different contract sizes, the difference is absorbed while the lot is calculated.
Platform-specific behaviour
The cTrader side is event-driven; the Match-Trader side is reconciled over REST on a short cycle, so copies land within seconds.
Editing a pending order is the one operation Match-Trader does not accept; open positions are edited normally.
Important limitations

Common use cases
Driving a firm account from cTrader
Your own account stays the place you work; the Match-Trader account follows.
Preserving stop management
Because Match-Trader accepts edits, a break-even or trailing move reaches the copy.
Connecting without password sharing
OAuth keeps your cTrader credentials out of the arrangement.

cTrader → Match-Trader questions
Does a trailing stop reach the Match-Trader copy?
Yes. Match-Trader supports editing an open position, so stop changes on the cTrader master are applied.
How quickly does the copy arrive?
cTrader pushes fills immediately; Match-Trader is read on a short REST cycle, so expect seconds.
Do I need to share a cTrader password?
No. Access is granted through cTrader’s OAuth screen and can be revoked there.
Can I copy to several Match-Trader accounts?
Yes — attach several Match-Trader accounts, each sized on its own balance.
Is this allowed on a funded account?
Your firm decides. Some permit copying between their own accounts and restrict external sources.
