Added “Connection Map” feature that shows the topology of the connected accounts. To use this feature, you will have to update all copier apps.

MatchTrader slave copier app (API mode):

• Adjusted the copier to be compatible with MatchTrader’s web platform

DXtrade slave copier app:

• Fixed an issue where trades couldn’t be properly confirmed as opened. This happened because there was a delay between when a position was opened and when the API server provided the position ID. The fix ensures trades are properly tracked even with delayed server responses.

Fixed a bug in the non-API mode of the MatchTrader slave copier app when multiple different MatchTrader accounts are connected to the same prop firm.

The Connector app and all the copier apps for all platforms have been updated to v2.0.3 with the following improvements:

• Added Logs section so the user can check the copy logs directly from the app and the dashboard as well.
• Added killswitch button to close all positions and stop the specific copier instances.
• Added Equity/Balance-based “Account Protection Mode” feature for all slave copier apps.
• Removed Telegram notifications feature. This feature is removed because only less than 1% of the users are actually using this feature and maintaining it is not worth the effort.

MatchTrader and DXtrade slave copier apps:

DXtrade slave copier app:

• Fixed the non-API mode issue where the copier would get disconnected after 24 hours of operation.

DXtrade slave copier app:

• Fixed the lot sizing issue for some brokers when using non-API mode

MatchTrader and DXtrade slave copier apps:

• Introduced non-API mode: This mode allows the copier to copy trades without using the API. This feature is useful for platforms that do not provide a public API or have limited API access (e.g. when the prop firms do not allow API access)

This feature is still in beta so please make sure to always copy your trades using TP/SL!

MT4 and MT5 slave copier EAs:

• Fixed a bug where the copier incorrectly used “Lot Multiplier” instead of “Fixed Lot” when copying trades with symbol aliases enabled.

• Fixed a regression bug affecting the “Lot Multiplier” volume sizing option

• All copier apps for all platforms have been updated to support displaying open and closing time in “open positions” and “history” actions from the dashboard

   Fixed a cosmetic bug where the copier app would not display correct volume sizing option on the chart.

3. Added email notification feature for all slave copier apps. This feature will send an email to the user whenever a trade is copied or closed to the slave account. The email will include details such as the trade direction, symbol, volume, and timestamp. (Please note that some fields may be left blank if the information is not available via the API on certain platforms.)

• v1.4.94 released for Connector app and the dashboard page.
• All master and slave copier apps have been updated to be able to receive instructions sent from the dashboard.

DXtrade slave copier app:

• Fixed a bug in the “Fixed Lot Size” volume sizing option.

DXtrade, MatchTrader, and TradeLocker slave copier apps:

• Persistent Logging: Logs are now saved as text files and can be accessed via the Help -> Open Logs Folder menu.
• Improved Error Handling (MatchTrader): Enhanced error handling implemented to manage unexpected API responses better.

TradeLocker master and slave copier apps:

• Added developer-key-api in the request headers as requested by TradeLocker developers.

DXtrade and MatchTrader slave copier apps:

• Updated UX: Implemented a confirmation dialog box that appears when users attempt to close the app while connected to the server. This feature ensures users are aware that any active positions will be left orphaned if the app is restarted without properly closing those copied positions first.

cTrader slave cBot:

• Enhanced API Functionality: Introduced the capability to log open and close results to the api/position endpoint. This update improves tracking and reporting but does not alter existing functionalities. Any algos or Expert Advisors (EAs) relying on this endpoint will benefit from this added feature.

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. The copier will now continuously query the order history endpoint on the TradeLocker API server until the position is successfully identified. While this may slightly reduce the speed of trade execution, it significantly enhances the reliability of closing positions. This update also improves the opening operation.
• 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.

MatchTrader slave copier apps:

• Improved the handling of bulk-closing operations.

Aside from MatchTrader slave copier app update, now the build number is also appended in the filename in every executable copier apps for MatchTrader, DXtrade, and TradeLocker.

DXtrade, TradeLocker, and MatchTrader slave copier apps:

• Enhanced auto relog functionality: improved the automatic relogging process to ensure seamless token refreshes, minimizing downtime when token refresh fails.
• Improved logging: enhanced logging capabilities for both successful and failed copy and close operations, providing better visibility and tracking of actions.
• Improved save/load profile feature: symbol suffixes, aliases, and volume sizing options are now saved in the profile.

DXtrade master copier app:

• Added a fix to prevent the copier from sending unnecessary modification instructions to the slave accounts when there are no changes in the TP/SL.

DXtrade slave copier app:

• Added a fix to handle further edge cases where the trade doesn’t get sent to the API properly because the lot size variable contains more than 2 decimal places.

DXtrade master copier app:

• Fixed a bug related to improper lot sizing when copying trades from a DXtrade account to other platforms.
• The lot size copied from DXtrade master account now accurately reflects the symbol specifications retrieved from the DXtrade API (using the /instruments/query endpoint).

DXtrade slave copier app:

• Added a fix to handle edge cases where the trade doesn’t get sent to the API properly because the lot size variable contains more than 2 decimal places.

DXtrade slave copier app:

• Added small fix to allow copying of the trade from TradeLocker master account when TP/SL is not set.

DXtrade slave copier app:

• Added another function to fetch instruments specifications from the API (/instruments/query endpoint). This eliminates the need to adjust the lot sizing for some pairs that may vary between broker to broker (e.g. Metals and Indices pairs).

TradeLocker master and slave copier app:

• Added function to auto-relog the user in whenever the token failed to be refreshed to solve the problem with expired token after every maintenance window during the weekend

TradeLocker slave copier app:

• Hotfix to fix 520 HTTP error code returned by the server which seems to happen intermittently for some users.

DXtrade slave copier app:

• Added logics to handle instruments mapping without slash separator. If you use AscendX, you should update to this version.
• For enabling XAUUSD trading on AscendX receiver account, please use the following settings in “Symbol Alias” field: XAUUSD=XAUUSD|100

Above settings are required because their API doesn’t classify XAUUSD pair in “Metals” assets class, instead they are classified as “CFD” assets class

DXtrade slave copier app:

• Hotfix to omit certain symbols from being used with Forex major pairs lot specifications due to server configurations (at least found in FXIFY where gold pairs are mapped as Forex in their assets class specifications)
• Fixed the bug with wrong balance showing up on the dashboard/connector app when the user has multiple accounts in the same broker/prop firm.

TradeLocker master & slave copier app:

• Better handling for failed refresh token.

MT4 master EA:

• Fixed a regression bug with 1st trade that didn’t get opened when the EA first started.

TradeLocker slave copier app:

• Improved retry logics for failed API calls.
• Improved closing operation by throttling the closing operation to 1 operation per second.
• Above changes are intended to avoid rate-limit imposes by TradeLocker API.

TradeLocker copier apps: Improved the detection for server maintenance. When the copier has detected that the server is in maintenance, it will stop itself.

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
