Product Updates - Heron Copier Documentation

2026-03-31

DXtrade slave copier app for the local version:

Fixed the issue with trade not being able to be closed on some brokers

2026-03-15

TradeLocker slave copier app 20260315:

Fix the fixed risk options.
Implemented fallback connection to use REST API in case the Streams API of TradeLocker failed to return sync confirmation on their end. If your instance is stuck in synchronization phase, you should update to this version.

MT4/MT5/cTrader slave copier EAs/cBot 20260315:

Added min/max lot size cap. If the calculated lot size is outside of the max/min lot size defined by the broker, the lot size will be capped.

2026-03-08

cTrader slave copier app 20260308:

Fixed an issue where some prop firms or brokers could close copied positions before the copied TP/SL were applied.
If the master trade includes either TP or SL, the slave now opens with temporary 500 pips TP/SL protection first, then immediately updates both values to the copied master levels.

2026-02-15

General improvements for local-version copier apps:

MT4, MT5, and cTrader: updated the UI for the local versions.
MT4 and MT5: reduced verbosity in Experts logs.
MatchTrader: removed unused API calls in non-API local mode.
TradeLocker: added more connection fallbacks so the copier can use the REST API when the TradeLocker Streams API returns delayed data.
Delay feature: improved use-case support for dynamic delay values.
- These are only examples. You can set any values based on your preference.
- 3000: uses a dynamic delay between 0ms and 3000ms.
- 2000-3000: uses a random delay within a fixed range of 2000ms to 3000ms.
- 3000-3000: uses a fixed delay of exactly 3000ms (3s).

2026-02-08

MatchTrader slave copier app:

Removed instruments list and fixed position syncing.

2026-02-03

Hey everyone! 👋Big one today - Telegram Signal Copier is here (Beta) 🚀You can now copy trades directly from Telegram signal channels to your slave accounts. No more manually reading signals and placing trades - just connect your Telegram channels and let Heron Copier do the rest.How it works:

Add a Telegram Master account from your Cloud Dashboard
Enter your Telegram API credentials
Enter the channel ID you wish to copy
The copier uses AI to parse trade signals from any channel format - no templates or specific formatting required

What it supports:

✅ Market orders (BUY/SELL) with TP and SL
✅ Close and close-all signals
✅ Quoted reply to modify TP/SL or close specific positions
✅ Works with any signal format - the AI figures it out

What it doesn’t support (yet):

❌ Pending / limit / stop orders (ignored for now)

This is a beta release - we’re actively improving the AI parsing accuracy and adding more features. Give it a spin and let us know how it goes!Available on Cloud only for now.

2026-02-01

MatchTrader slave copier app:

Fixed an issue where Fixed Risk (by Percentage and by Nominal) modes calculated incorrect lot sizes on certain brokers. The problem was caused by inconsistent instrument data returned by different MatchTrader broker APIs — some brokers store the contract size value in a different field than others. For example, on XAUUSD (1 lot = 100 oz), one broker returns multiplier: 100, contractSize: 1 while another returns multiplier: 1, contractSize: 100. The copier now correctly reads both fields to ensure accurate lot sizing regardless of how the broker structures their instrument data.

2026-01-28

MatchTrader and DXtrade slave copier apps (Non-API mode):

The copier now checks if your computer has enough memory before starting Non-API mode. If not, you’ll see a clear error message instead of a crash
The browser window is now visible by default in Non-API mode so you can see what’s happening
The browser window is now smaller and takes up less screen space
Fixed an issue where saving and loading profiles did not remember the API/Non-API mode setting (DXtrade)

2026-01-18

Hey everyone! 👋We’ve been busy shipping some quality-of-life improvements to make your trading experience smoother and more secure. Here’s what’s new:🔒 Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)Your account security just got an upgrade. You can now enable 2FA to add an extra layer of protection to your dashboard login.How to enable it:

Go to your Dashboard
Look for “Settings” in the sidebar
Click on “Two-Factor Auth”
Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.)

Once enabled, you’ll need to enter a code from your app every time you log in. Peace of mind. ✅🧠 Auto Symbol Mapping — Now AI-PoweredWe’ve upgraded the Auto Symbol Mapping feature to use AI as a last-resort fallback.If your current suffix or alias settings are working fine, you don’t need to change anything. The AI only kicks in when all other mapping methods fail to find a match. So if your manual aliases or suffix settings already handle your symbol mismatches, they’ll continue to work exactly as before.But when a symbol still can’t be mapped after trying suffix and alias rules, the AI will now step in and attempt to find the correct match from your broker’s available symbols (e.g., “DJ30” → “US30”, “XAUUSD” → “Gold”).📧 Email Notifications for Failed TradesEver had a trade fail to copy and not notice until hours later? We’ve got you covered.You can now opt-in to receive email alerts whenever a trade fails to copy to one of your slave accounts. The email includes:

Which account and platform failed
The symbol and side (BUY/SELL)
The actual error reason from the logs
AI-powered recommendations on how to fix it 🤖

To enable it: → Go to your Dashboard
→ Click “E-mail Notifications” under Settings
→ Toggle on “Failed Trade Copy Notifications”Disabled by default, so you will have to opt-in. 🙌🔔 Browser NotificationsReal-time toast notifications weren’t enough, so we added browser notifications too.Now when a trade copies (or fails), you’ll get a browser notification even if the dashboard tab is in the background. Perfect for keeping an eye on things while you’re doing other stuff.To enable it:

Open your Dashboard
Your browser will ask for notification permission
Click “Allow”

Both failed and successful notifications auto-close after a few seconds.⚡ TradeLocker Connectivity Improvements (Local Version)For those running TradeLocker slave accounts on the local/desktop version: we’ve improved the connection stability.While we’re still working with the TradeLocker team to get our API rate limits increased, we’ve implemented a smarter fallback system between their Streams API and REST API. This means fewer disconnections and more reliable trade copying overall.Note: This update only applies to the local version of Heron Copier. Cloud users are not affected.

As always, if you run into any issues or have feedback, let us know! We’re always looking for ways to make Heron Copier better for you. 🚀

Hey everyone! 👋We just shipped something new that we’ve been working on: AI Mentoring is now live in the Trading Journal (currently in BETA).Think of it as your personal trading coach that actually knows your trading history. It looks at your trades, journal entries, emotions, and ratings to give you feedback that’s specific to you.This AI focuses on trading psychology and discipline, not market analysis or signals. It won’t tell you when to buy or sell. Instead, it helps you understand your own patterns and become a more consistent trader. 🚀What it can help with:

Spotting emotional patterns that might be affecting your decisions
Reviewing your recent performance (shows both dollar amounts and percentages)
Giving practical advice on discipline and mindset
Building better trading habits over time

Pro tip: The more you journal your trades, the better the insights you’ll get. Adding emotions, ratings, and notes to your trades gives the AI more context to work with, so it can give you more meaningful and personalized feedback. ✏️To try it out:

Head to your Trading Journal
Pick a specific account from the dropdown
Open the AI Mentoring tab
Ask it anything about your trading 💬

Since it’s still in BETA, each user is limited to 10 queries per day. Since each query costs us AI tokens, we need to keep things sustainable while we test things out. We may adjust this limit based on feedback and usage. 🙏Let us know what you think!

Hey everyone! 👋We’re excited to announce two new volume sizing options that many of you have been asking for!🙏 We know this has been a long time coming!We’ve been promising this feature for a while now, and we apologize for the delay. Behind the scenes, we’ve been working on a lot of quality-of-life improvements, bug fixes, and infrastructure upgrades to make the copier more stable and reliable. But we’re thrilled to finally deliver this highly requested feature!🎯 New Volume Sizing Options: Fixed Risk by Percentage & Fixed Risk by NominalWe’ve added two powerful new ways to manage your position sizing:Fixed Risk by Percentage

Set a fixed percentage of your account equity to risk per trade
Example: If you set 1% and have $10,000 equity, the copier calculates lot size so your max loss is ~$ 100
Perfect for consistent risk management across all trades

Fixed Risk by Nominal

Set a fixed monetary amount (in your account currency) to risk per trade
Example: If you set $50, the copier calculates lot size so your max loss is ~$ 50
Great for traders who prefer fixed dollar-amount risk

⚠️ Important Note:Both Fixed Risk modes require the master trade to have a stop loss. If the master trade doesn’t have a stop loss, the trade will be skipped with the message: “Trade skipped: No stop loss provided from master. Fixed Risk modes require a stop loss to calculate lot size.”This is logged to your trade history so you can track any skipped trades.🔧 Platform Support:These new options are available on ALL platforms:

MT4 & MT5 (both local and cloud)
cTrader (both local and cloud)
DXTrade (both local and cloud)
MatchTrader (both local and cloud)
TradeLocker (both local and cloud)

📚 Documentation:Check out the updated Slave Account Configuration page for detailed explanations and examples.Happy trading! 📈

Hey everyone! 👋Hope you’re all crushing it with your trades! We’ve got some HUGE news that’s going to make your cTrader experience so much better.🚀 Major cTrader Cloud Upgrade - 100% Feature Parity!We’ve completely rebuilt our cTrader cloud implementation from the ground up! Instead of using the old token-based OpenAPI approach, we’ve switched to using cTrader Algo (the same engine that powers our local desktop version).What this means for you:

100% feature parity - Your cTrader cloud accounts now have ALL the same features as the local version
Better stability - No more random disconnections that plagued the old OpenAPI implementation
Same level of performance - Consistent execution and more reliable connections
Simplified setup - Just enter your email, password, and account number - no more OAuth token hassles!

🔧 What changed:

Before: Token-based authentication with limited OpenAPI features
Now: Direct credential login using the full cTrader Algo engine
Result: Same reliable experience whether you’re using cloud or local!

🎯 Our ongoing stability mission: This is part of our continuous effort to make cTrader as stable as our other platform implementations. We know the previous OpenAPI version had issues, and we’re working hard to bring cTrader to the same level of service reliability as our other platforms.Real talk though - when it comes to fault tolerance and stability, these things can only truly be proven over time. There are so many edge cases and scenarios that we simply can’t replicate in testing. But we’re committed to this journey and will keep refining the implementation based on real-world usage and your feedback! 💪⚠️ Important for existing cTrader users: You’ll need to remove your existing cTrader cloud instances and recreate them with the new system. The old token-based accounts won’t work with the new implementation.Here’s what to do:

Delete your current cTrader cloud accounts from your dashboard
Create new ones using your direct cTrader credentials (email/password/account number)
Enjoy the much more stable experience!

Don’t worry - the new setup is actually way simpler than the old OAuth process!For new users: Just set up your cTrader accounts like any other platform - super straightforward!🔧 Some smaller updates we’ve also shipped:

Improved MatchTrader slave - Now properly handles volume step requirements and rounding for specific symbols
Enhanced MT5 master - Better handling of edge cases where withdrawals trigger position closures without symbols or position IDs attached

We really appreciate your patience as we work through making cTrader a first-class citizen alongside our other supported platforms. Your feedback and real-world usage data is what helps us identify and fix those edge cases we can’t catch in testing! 🙏As always, if you run into any issues or have questions about the new setup, just drop a message here and we’ll help you out immediately.Happy trading! 📈P.S. - This update is already live for all cloud users!P.P.S. - Still working on that “Fixed Risk by %” feature - coming very soon! 🔥

2025-08-22

Hey everyone! 👋Hope you’re all doing well and making some good trades! We’ve got some exciting news to share with you.🎉 You can now buy additional cloud seats right from your dashboard! We’ve been working hard to make this as smooth as possible for you. No more waiting for us to manually add seats - you’re now in full control!💌 Special offer for our amazing community Since many of you have been asking about this feature, we wanted to give you something special. If you decide to grab some extra seats before August 31st, you’ll get 20% off FOREVER - seriously, as long as you keep your subscription, that discount stays with you.Just use the code CLOUD and you’ll pay

6.40/month instead of the regular

8/month per seat.🤗 No pressure though! Here’s the thing - we’re not enforcing seat limits until September 1st anyway. This is really just us giving you the chance to lock in some great pricing while helping us cover our growing server costs (our 750+ vCPU cores and 1.4TB RAM cloud infrasructures aren’t cheap! 😅).For our beta family: You’re still getting your 4 accounts with the base plan (yes, 4 accounts since you’re all grandfathered in, not 3 accounts). For newer folks: You get 2 accounts with your base plan, and can purchase more seats whenever you need them.🚀 How it works: Just head to your Cloud Accounts page, look for the “Seat Management” section, and you’ll see options to add more seats. The whole process takes like 30 seconds - we made it super simple.📅 Timeline: Right now through Aug 31: Get that 20% discount with code CLOUD Sept 1: We’ll start actually enforcing the limits, and start shutting down instances from unpaid users starting on the 7th of September (server costs are expensive, we can’t keep offering the extra seats for free forever)As always, if you run into any issues or have questions, just drop a message here and we’ll sort you out. We really appreciate all your support - it’s what keeps this whole thing running! 🙏Happy trading! 📈P.S. - The 20% discount offer expires August 31stP.P.S - We’re still working on “Fixed Risk by %” volume sizing option, stay tune for more updates from us in the next few days!

Minor Updates - Cloud Dashboard⏯️ Pause/Resume Controls Added pause/resume buttons to cloud accounts page. Now it’s even easier to pause/resume selected account(s).🤖 AI-Powered Trade Copier Logs Analysis We know it’s frustrating when you don’t know the meaning behind the logs returned by the API servers of different platforms - they can be so technical. To make it easy, just click the “Analyze” button where our ChatGPT-powered AI assistant will help you understand the reason why some trades didn’t get copied (e.g. symbol mismatches, invalid volume, insufficient margin, trade account disabled, etc.). The AI assistant will even provide a working solution so you can proceed to change your copier settings to fix the problem.Both features are live now. As always, let us know if you run into any issues 💪

2025-08-07

Hey everyone! 👋Just pushed some updates that you’ve been asking for - finally got Equity to Equity and Risk Multiplier working across MatchTrader, DXTrade, and TradeLocker! Plus some game-changer features… 🚀🆕 What’s new:

Equity to Equity for DXtrade, MatchTrader, and TradeLocker slaves - Your trades now scale based on account balance differences (no more manual math!)
Risk Multiplier - Same as above but with your own custom multiplier for extra control (e.g. in case you want to risk 1% on the master account, but 0.5% on the slave account)
Auto Symbol Mapping - This thing is actually smart now! Handles USD/JPY vs USDJPY (and other symbols too, of course), strips broker suffixes (.pro, .raw, etc.), and just figures out what symbol that are available
Account Switching - You can now edit existing slave accounts to listen to different master accounts! No more deleting and re-adding everything!
Server Browser - Browse and select servers easily, or type in new ones if they’re not listed yet

🎯 About Auto Symbol Mapping: The auto mapping especially… it was driving me nuts seeing people struggle with symbol mismatches because not everyone can map the symbols properly. Now it just works. EURUSD becomes EUR/USD, USDJPY.pro becomes USD/JPY, whatever your broker calls it - the copier figures it out.Quick note: It’s pretty smart but some indices with totally different names (like US30 vs DJI30, or GER40 vs DAX40) might still need manual mapping via the symbol alias setting. The auto mapper can’t automagically read minds… yet! 😄⚙️ Other Improvements: Now you can just edit your slave and point it to a different master without losing all your settings. Should save everyone a ton of time! The improved server browser makes setup way easier too - no more guessing what your broker’s server is called or typing it wrong.🖥️ Infrastructure Update: We’re now sitting at almost 700 vCPU cores and 1.3 terabytes of RAM 😅 Seriously, you guys keep coming and we keep adding more servers. The growth has been absolutely insane. You can check out the real-time stats on our status page: https://status.heroncopier.com/🔮 Coming Next: Fixed Risk % option - set a fixed percentage of your account to risk per trade. This one’s been highly requested and we’re working on it!⚠️ Quick Heads Up: If you want the new volume sizing options and auto symbol mapping, you’ll need to re-add your slave accounts (the new options won’t show up otherwise). But honestly? If your current setup is working fine, just leave it alone. No need to fix what ain’t broken!The account switching and improved server browser are already live for everyone though, you should be able to see the changes on the “Cloud Accounts” page @ https://dashboard.heroncopier.com/cloudKeep the feedback coming and happy trading! 📈

2025-07-27

Cloud Version:🎉 Beta Update - Last week was absolutely mental! 🎉Guys, seriously… I know we’ve been in beta for 3 weeks now, but last week was something else entirely!Ever since TC dropped MT platform support, you all came flooding in and honestly, it’s been so much fun watching everyone jump on board. The energy shift in here has been incredible.We went a bit crazy with the servers…

Had to scramble and triple our capacity in just one week 😅
Now sitting at 550+ vCPUs and 1.1 terrabytes of RAM
Still adding more until we wrap up in September (RIP our servers bill)
Never thought we’d need this much this fast, but here we are!

What we’re grinding on right now:

Keeping everything snappy
Getting all the platforms to play nice together and working on feature parity between them
Adding more QoLs updates (the server browser is FINALLY there now)
Those confusing logs - yeah we are aware that they suck right now, working on making them actually useful (the logs should speak human language like “not enough margin” or “market closed” instead of throwing some errors codes)

Once we wrap up in September, everyone who participated in the beta gets 3 free accounts grandfathered in as long as you keep the $19 base subscription. Just our way of saying thanks for helping us build this thing right! 🙌We’ve got until September to make this thing perfect, and with this community helping out, I’m pretty confident we’re gonna nail it.Keep the suggestions coming!Local Version:

The non-API mode for MatchTrader slave copier app has been updated to exclude the balance/equity update functionalities (build number 20250727). That functionality is intrusive due to the way it works without being able to read the balance/equity from the API. Removal of this functionality will make the non-API mode more stable and reliable for the local version.

2025-07-12

cTrader slave cBot:

Enhanced API Functionality: Introduced the capability to log open and close results to the api/position endpoint.

DXtrade and TradeLocker slave copier apps:

Bug Fix: Resolved an issue within the TradeLocker slave copier app that occasionally prevented the closure of existing positions due to them not being located.

Enhanced Logging: Introduced additional logging features to the DXtrade slave copier app,

DXtrade, TradeLocker, and MatchTrader slave copier apps:

User Interface Enhancements: We’ve made significant improvements to the UI for a smoother and more intuitive user experience.
New Features Added:
- Copy TP/SL Options: Users can now select whether to copy Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) settings from the master account. For those opting not to copy SLs, we highly recommend operating the copier on a reliable VPS to ensure optimal performance.
- Reverse Trade Functionality: Trades copied from the master account can now be reversed. This feature is particularly beneficial for capitalizing on unprofitable strategies or hedging positions from the master account.

One more thing: beta phase for DXtrade has officially ended, marking its transition to a stable release.

Starting from v1.4.93, update notification can be done partially. This means that if there are updates that are only relevant for certain platforms, the copier for other platforms wouldn’t notify the updates.Versioning will mainly use build number rather than version number. This will make it easier for the developer too to deliver incremental improvements.For this build number, the following copiers have been updated to have better handling for reconnection:

MT4
MT5
DXtrade
TradeLocker
