cTrader to TradeLocker Trade Copier
Copy cTrader trades onto TradeLocker accounts, with stops set at entry and account-level protection doing the rest.
ConnectX Copy reproduces cTrader trades on TradeLocker. cTrader pushes fills as they happen, so the copier acts on the master’s activity rather than discovering it later.
TradeLocker is widely used by funded-account providers, so this pairing typically drives a firm-issued account from the cTrader account you trade personally.
Stops are placed with the entry on TradeLocker, and account-level equity protection covers the risk that a fixed stop does not.

Risk and lot-sizing controls
Balance or equity scaling, the usual choice when an evaluation account is smaller than your own.
Fixed master balance sizing to keep the copy steady through activity on the cTrader side.
Lot floors and ceilings, clamped to what the TradeLocker account will accept.
Direction and lot-range filters, so a firm account only receives what belongs on it.
Equity protection with alert, pause or close actions and a daily reset — the right tool here, since the stop itself cannot be moved later.
Symbol mapping
cTrader and TradeLocker name instruments differently, so mapping is resolved before the order is placed.
Explicit mappings handle indices and metals.
A difference in contract size is absorbed during sizing rather than passed through to your risk.
Platform-specific behaviour
The cTrader side is event-driven; TradeLocker is reconciled over REST on a short cycle, so copies land within seconds.
Because a stop cannot be moved after entry on TradeLocker, protection that needs to change during a trade belongs at account level rather than on the order.
