MetaTrader 5 Copy Trading: Complete Setup Guide
MetaTrader 5 does not include a built-in “copy my friend’s account” button for retail users. Copy trading here means Expert Advisors plus a relay service. This guide ties MetaTrader 5 concepts to Trade Copierr’s Master/Follower model.
Account roles
The master is the only account you manually trade (or where your strategy EA runs). Followers should not receive conflicting manual orders while copying is active.
Netting vs hedging followers
On netting accounts, multiple entries merge into one net position per symbol. On hedging accounts, each ticket stays separate. Your copier test should match the account mode you will use live.
Verify with logs
Use the terminal Experts tab and Trade Copierr history in the dashboard. When a trade fails, the reason should name symbol, volume, margin, or connection—not a silent skip.
Demo checklist (five minutes)
- One market entry on the master.
- Move SL or TP once.
- Close the position and confirm follower flat.
Trade Copierr provides hosted copier infrastructure and licensed EAs; results still depend on broker rules, symbol mapping, margin, and your lot settings. Use demo until the behavior matches your plan.
