DXtrade to MT4 Trade Copier
Use a DXtrade account as your master and have MT4 accounts follow, with sizes converted back to lots and stops managed on the copy.
ConnectX Copy watches a DXtrade account and reproduces its trades on MT4. This is the direction to use when DXtrade is the account you trade and MT4 is where you want a matching position — often because the destination broker or an existing EA setup expects MT4.
DXtrade expresses position size in units rather than lots, so the conversion runs the other way here: units are read from the DXtrade position and turned back into an MT4 lot before the order is placed.
MT4 is a forgiving destination for this, because it accepts stops at entry and lets them be moved afterwards.
How DXtrade → MT4 copying works
DXtrade is connected
Add the master with its login, account code and broker URL. Positions are reconciled on a short cycle.
MT4 destinations are attached
Add each MT4 account by login, password and server.
Units become lots
The DXtrade quantity is divided by the instrument’s contract size to give a lot the MT4 broker understands.
MT4 executes and tracks
The position opens with its stop and target and follows later changes on the master.

Including what it cannot. The limits are as useful as the features when you are choosing which account should lead.
- Entry and close copying
- Stop loss and take profit
- Stop changes after entryMT4 supports order modification on the destination.
- Partial close
- Unit-to-lot conversion
- Multiple MT4 destinations

Risk and lot-sizing controls
Fixed lot, lot multiplier, or scaling by the MT4 account’s balance or equity.
Fixed master balance sizing when you would rather size against a nominated figure than the DXtrade account’s live balance.
Minimum and maximum lot enforcement for each MT4 broker.
Direction and lot-range filters on the DXtrade master before the lot is calculated.
Equity protection per MT4 destination with alert, pause or close actions.
Symbol mapping
DXtrade names instruments in its own style — EUR/USD rather than EURUSD — and MT4 brokers add suffixes on top.
Automatic matching resolves the common cases; explicit mappings handle the rest.
The contract size used for the unit-to-lot conversion is read from the DXtrade instrument, or inferred from its asset class where the broker publishes none.
Platform-specific behaviour
Because DXtrade is involved, the copier reconciles over REST on a short cycle rather than a push stream, so copies land within seconds.
The MT4 destination itself is real-time and supports the full range of order operations.
Important limitations
- Each connected account, source or destination, uses one connection.

DXtrade → MT4 questions
How does a DXtrade size become an MT4 lot?
The DXtrade quantity is in units, so it is divided by the instrument’s contract size — 1,000 units of a forex pair becomes 0.01 lots.
Do stops follow on the MT4 copy?
Yes. MT4 supports order modification, so a stop moved on the DXtrade master is applied to the copy.
How fast is the copy?
The DXtrade side is read over REST on a short cycle, so expect seconds rather than instant execution.
Can several MT4 accounts follow one DXtrade master?
Yes, and each destination is sized against its own balance.
Do I need anything installed on MT4?
No. The account connects with its login and server.
