❓ Frequently Asked Questions - Copytrade Online

📋 Installation & Configuration

Q: How do I install Copytrade EA in MetaTrader?

A: To install Copytrade EA:

  1. Open MetaTrader 4/5
  2. Go to File → Open Data Folder
  3. Navigate to folder MQL4\Experts\ (MT4) or MQL5\Experts\ (MT5)
  4. Copy the file copytradev4.ex4 (MT4) or copytradev5.ex5 (MT5) in Experts folder
  5. MT4 phải chép thêm CT_Http.dll 32-bit version vào MQL4\Libraries\. MT5 thì không cần — DLL đã nhúng sẵn trong .ex5, EA tự bung ra lần chạy đầu.
  6. Restart MetaTrader

Q: What are the two Copytrade operating modes?

A: Copytrade has two operating modes:

🎯 MASTER mode:
  • Share trading signals - Automatically send all orders to server
  • Multiple slave accounts can copy your trades
  • Access control - Control who can copy your signals
  • Monitor slaves - Monitor all connected slave accounts
  • Generate income from sharing signals
📋 SLAVE mode:
  • Copy trades from master - Automatically copy orders from selected master
  • Adjustable volume multiplier - Adjust trades by your account size
  • Currency pair mapping for different exchanges
  • = take all, even orders Master opened yesterday - Automatically copy Stop Loss and Take Profit
  • Auto close when master closes orders

H: Copytrade cần bật những quyền nào trong MetaTrader?

A: Đúng hai quyền, khai một lần:

  1. Go to Tools → Options → Expert Advisors
  2. Tick Allow algorithmic trading (MT5) or Allow automated trading (MT4)
  3. Tick Allow DLL imports
  4. Press OK, rồi bật nút Algo Trading trên thanh công cụ cho sáng xanh
  5. Lúc kéo EA lên biểu đồ, ở thẻ Common tick thêm Allow DLL imports (MT4 bắt buộc, MT5 nên tick)
KHÔNG cần khai WebRequest URL. Copytrade không dùng WebRequest — EA nối mạng qua CT_Http.dll. Nếu ở đâu đó bảo bạn thêm địa chỉ vào ô "Allow WebRequest for listed URL" thì đó là nhầm sang công cụ khác. Thêm vào cũng không hại gì, chỉ là không có tác dụng.

🔑 License & Authentication

Q: How do I set Master and Slave codes?

A: To set Master and Slave codes:

  1. Drag EA onto chart
  2. Trong tab "Inputs"
  3. With Master mode: Enter your License
  4. With Slave mode: Enter the License you want to copy
  5. Press "OK" to save
Tips: Master code and slave key are provided when you buy license. Never share master code publicly.

Q: How many accounts can use the same Master Code?

A: Unlimited slave accounts can copy from one Master Code.

Master-Slave system:
  • 1 Master Code = Unlimited slave accounts
  • Master controls who can copy via slave key
  • Each slave needs correct slave key to connect
  • Master can monitor all connected slaves
Benefits: Master can generate income from multiple slave accounts simultaneously.

Q: What is the difference between Master Code and Slave Key?

A: Important differences:

🔑 Master Code:
  • Used for Master account - Account that shares signals
  • Generate slave key - Master creates slave key for followers
  • Access control - Can enable/disable slave connection
  • Monitor slaves - Can view all connected slave accounts
  • Never share publicly - Keep master code private
🔐 Slave Key:
  • For Slave accounts - Accounts that copy trades
  • Provided by Master - Master gives slave key to followers
  • Limited access - Can only copy from specific master
  • Can be shared - Safe to share with trusted followers
  • Can be revoked - Master can disable slave key anytime

💰 Trading & Security

Q: How to adjust volume multiplier for slave?

A: Adjust volume multiplier in EA settings:

Multiplier configuration:
  • Multiplier = 1.0: Same volume as master
  • Multiplier = 0.5: Volume at 50% of master
  • Multiplier = 2.0: Volume 2x of master

How to set:

  1. Open Slave EA settings
  2. Find section "Volume Multiplier" or "Lot Multiplier"
  3. Enter desired multiplier
  4. Press "OK" to save
Tips: Start with a small multiplier and increase gradually as you get used to the system.

Q: How to set up symbol mapping for different brokers?

A: Set up symbol mapping:

  1. In EA settings, tab "Inputs"
  2. Find section "Symbol Mapping"
  3. Enter master's symbol in field "Master Symbol"
  4. Enter your broker's symbol in field "Slave Symbol"
  5. Press "Add Mapping"
  6. Repeat for all pairs you want to copy
Symbol mapping example:
  • Master: EURUSD → Slave: EURUSD (same broker)
  • Master: EURUSD → Slave: EURUSD.a (different broker)
  • Master: XAUUSD → Slave: GOLD (different name)

Q: What are the safety settings in Copytrade?

A: Copytrade has several safety settings:

🛡️ Safety settings:
  • Order Age Limit: Max order age limit to copy (prevents copying old orders)
  • SL/TP Offset: Additional pips for Stop Loss and Take Profit
  • Max Spread: Max spread allowed to copy order
  • Min Volume: Min volume filter to copy
  • Max Volume: Max volume filter to copy
  • Symbol Filter: Copy only specific pairs
Recommendation: Always test safety settings on demo account first to ensure they work with your broker.
