MT4 to MT4 Trade Copier
Mirror one MT4 account across as many others as you need, at any broker, with sizing and risk controls set for each destination.
ConnectX Copy copies every trade from one MT4 account to others as it happens. Entries, closes, partial closes and stop changes all carry across, so the followers stay aligned with the master without manual work.
MT4 remains the platform most Expert Advisors and most prop-firm accounts are built around, and copying between MT4 accounts is the most direct thing ConnectX Copy does — both ends share a platform, so nothing is lost in translation.
The accounts can sit at different brokers with different symbol names and different contract sizes. That is handled for you, which is what makes running the same strategy at more than one broker practical.
How MT4 → MT4 copying works
The master is connected
Add the MT4 account you trade using its login, password and server. Its activity arrives on a real-time push stream.
Followers are attached
Add each MT4 account that should copy it, with its own sizing rule.
Each trade is translated
The symbol is matched to the destination broker’s name and the lot is calculated for that account.
The copy tracks the master
Closes, partial closes and stop or target moves are reproduced on every follower.
What ConnectX Copy can copy on this pair
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 profitCopied at entry and kept in step afterwards.
- Stop changes after entryMT4 supports order modification, so trailing stops trail on the copy.
- Partial close
- Pending orders
- Reverse copying
- Copy existing open trades
- Magic number and comment filtersCopy only the trades from one EA and ignore everything else on the account.
- Real-time execution
Risk and lot-sizing controls
Fixed lot, lot multiplier, or scaling by the destination’s balance or equity.
Fixed master balance sizing, so deposits and withdrawals on the master do not move the copy’s size.
Minimum and maximum lot enforcement to stay inside the destination broker’s limits.
Direction filters to copy only buys or only sells.
Lot-range filters to ignore trades outside a size band.
Magic number and comment filters, which matter on MT4 because several EAs commonly share one account.
Equity protection with alert, pause or close actions, and an optional daily reset.
Symbol mapping
MT4 brokers append suffixes freely — EURUSD, EURUSD.ecn and EURUSDm are the same market under three names.
ConnectX Copy resolves the destination name automatically where it can, and explicit mappings cover the rest.
Contract size differences between brokers are accounted for during sizing rather than left to change your risk silently.
Platform-specific behaviour
Both ends use a real-time push stream, so trades are copied as they happen rather than on a polling cycle.
Because MT4 sits on both sides, the full feature set applies — including moving a stop after entry, which several cross-platform pairings cannot do.
Important limitations
- Each connected account counts as a billed connection.
Setting it up
- 01Connect the MT4 account you trade as the master.
- 02Connect each MT4 account that should follow it.

- 04Add magic number or comment filters if the master runs more than one strategy.
- 05Place a small trade and confirm it copies.
Common use cases
Running one EA across several brokers
Keep the EA on a single account and let the others follow, instead of licensing and monitoring it everywhere.
Copying one strategy off a shared account
Magic number filters copy only the EA you care about when several run on the same master.
Scaling risk between accounts
Balance-based sizing keeps a smaller follower proportional rather than matching lots.
Keeping a backup account in step
A second broker mirrors your main account in case of an outage.

MT4 → MT4 questions
Do I need an EA installed to copy?
No. Accounts connect to ConnectX Copy directly with their login and server, so there is nothing to install in the terminal.
Can I copy only one EA’s trades?
Yes. Magic number and comment filters copy just the trades that match, which is the usual way to separate strategies sharing an account.
Do trailing stops follow?
Yes. MT4 supports order modification, so a stop moved on the master moves on the copy.
Can the accounts be at different brokers?
Yes, including brokers with different symbol names, suffixes and contract sizes.
Can a follower trade the opposite direction?
Yes, with reverse copying enabled on that destination.
