TradeLocker to MT5 Trade Copier
Use TradeLocker as your master and have MT5 accounts follow every trade, with full stop management and sizing set per destination.
ConnectX Copy watches a TradeLocker account and reproduces its trades on MT5. This is the direction to use when TradeLocker is where you trade and MT5 is where you want the position to end up.
MT5 is a capable destination for this: it accepts stops at entry and allows them to be moved afterwards, so the copy is not limited by what TradeLocker itself can do once a trade is open.
One TradeLocker master can feed several MT5 accounts at different brokers, each with its own sizing rule.
How TradeLocker → MT5 copying works
TradeLocker is connected
Add the account with its email, password and environment. Its positions are reconciled on a short cycle.
MT5 destinations are attached
Add each MT5 account that should follow, with its own sizing rule.
The order is translated
The TradeLocker instrument is matched to your MT5 broker’s symbol and the lot is calculated for that account.
MT5 executes and keeps up
The position opens with its stop and target, and stop changes are applied to the copy.

Risk and lot-sizing controls
Fixed lot, lot multiplier, or scaling by the MT5 account’s balance or equity.
Fixed master balance sizing when you want the copy sized against a nominated figure.
Minimum and maximum lot enforcement for each MT5 broker.
Direction and lot-range filters on the TradeLocker master.
Equity protection on each MT5 destination, with alert, pause or close actions.
Symbol mapping
TradeLocker and MT5 brokers use different instrument names, so the symbol is resolved before the order is placed.
Explicit mappings cover anything the automatic match cannot resolve, including broker suffixes.
Contract size differences are handled during sizing rather than left to change your risk.
Platform-specific behaviour
The TradeLocker side is read over REST on a short reconciliation cycle rather than a push stream, so the copy can arrive a few seconds after the master fills.
Everything the destination can do is available here — MT5 places stops at entry and accepts changes to them afterwards.

TradeLocker → MT5 questions
Can stops be moved on the MT5 copy?
Yes. MT5 supports order modification, so the copy is not constrained by TradeLocker’s own limits once the trade is open.
How fast is the copy?
The TradeLocker side is reconciled over REST on a short cycle, so expect a few seconds rather than sub-second.
Can I copy to several MT5 accounts?
Yes, each with its own sizing rule and risk settings.
Do the accounts have to be at the same broker?
No. Different brokers, symbol names and contract sizes are all handled.
Can an MT5 destination take the opposite side?
Yes, with reverse copying enabled on that destination.
