Slave Account Configuration

​

Email Notification

If you want to receive email notifications whenever a trade is copied or closed to the slave account, you can fill this field with your email address.

Do note that some fields may be left blank if the information is not available via the API on certain platforms.

​

Identifier

This is the name of the slave account, you can put any value here. The name will be displayed in the chart label so you can easily identify the instance.

For example, you can fill this field with a value such as FTMO 100k Challenge Slave #1.

​

Server Address

If you use more than 1 master account, please set the value to the port of the master account that you’d like the slave account to copy from. Else, just use the default value of tcp://127.0.0.1:51124.

If you intend to copy from a master account that is located in different a system/VPS, you should use the IP address of the master account in this field.

Else, if you are copying from a master account that is located in the same system/VPS, you can use the default value.

​

Add Symbol Suffix

This is a global parameter to add symbol suffixes on your slave account.

For example, if the symbols in your slave accounts are marked with “_x” suffixes (e.g. EURUSD_x), then you can fill this field with _x. That way, whenever your slave account receives instructions from the master account, the copied symbols will be added with the suffixes.

​

Symbol Aliases

This field is used to set symbol aliases and custom lot multipliers. In some cases, the addition and removal of symbol suffixes may not be enough since the brokers used by the master and slave account may have entirely different naming schemes in their symbols.

You can use the following format:

DJ30.cash=US30|0.1;SpotCrude=WTI|10;BTCUSDT=BTCUSD;

In the above example, we can see that there are 3 aliases with 2 custom lot multipliers, they are:

In the above example, the DJ30.cash symbol in the master account will be mapped to the US30 symbol in the slave account, and it will use 0.1 lot multiplier.

SpotCrude symbol in the master account will be mapped to the WTI symbol in the slave account and it will use 10 lot multiplier.

BTCUSDT symbol in the master account will be mapped to BTCUSD symbol in the slave account and it will use the universal lot multiplier instead because it’s not assigned with a custom individual lot multiplier rule.

Any other symbols that aren’t mapped in this field will use the calculation in volume sizing parameter instead.

​

Symbol Black/whitelist

This field is used to set blacklist and/or whitelist.

Any symbols marked with ”+” sign will be marked as whitelist, and any symbols marked with ”-” sign will be marked as blacklist.

You can use the following format: +BTCUSD;+ETHUSD;

In the above example, we can see that BTCUSD and ETHUSD is in the whitelist, which means any symbols other than BTCUSD and ETHUSD will not be copied.

Now let’s change the values: -DJ30;-USDJPY;

In the second example above, DJ30 and USDJPY is in the blacklist, so any symbols other than DJ30 and USDJPY will be copied.

We can also combine the blacklist and the whitelist, like so: +BTCUSD;+ETHUSD;-DJ30;-USDJPY;

This means that BTCUSD and ETHUSD will be copied, while DJ30 and USDJPY and other pairs outside of whitelist will not be copied.

​

Magic Number Black/whitelist

This field is used to set blacklist and/or whitelist.

Any magic numbers marked with ”+” sign will be marked as whitelist, and any magic numbers marked with ”-” sign will be marked as blacklist.

You can use the following format: +123456;+555555;-333333;-555555;

In the above example, 123456 and 123457 will be copied, while 123458 and 123459 will not be copied.

If there are no magic numbers in the whitelist, then all trades will be copied.

​

Volume Sizing

This setting is used to determine how the trade volume will be calculated.

You can use the default “Equity-to-Equity” option if you want the slave accounts to have the same risk parameters as the master account (e.g. if the master account open a 1% risk trade, the slave accounts should also do the same regardless of the equity differences)

But if you want some more advanced setups, you can use “Lot Multiplier” or “Risk Multiplier” option or even custom lot sizing via “Symbol Aliases” field.

You can choose between all these below 4 options:

​

Equity-to-Equity

The trade volume will be automatically calculated based on the equity ratio between the master and slave account. This means the risk per trade will be the same in the master and slave account.

​

Lot Multiplier

The trade volume will be calculated based on the original trade volume in the master account, multiplied by the “Lot Multiplier” field.

​

Risk Multiplier

The trade volume will be calculated based on the equity ratio between the master and slave account, multiplied by “Risk Multiplier” field.

​

Fixed Lot

The trade volume will use exactly the value defined in this “Fixed Lot” field.

​

Copy TP from Master Account

If you do not wish to copy TP from master account, you can choose false in the dropdown.

​

Copy SL from Master Account

If you do not wish to copy SL from master account, you can choose false in the dropdown.

​

Additional TP/SL in Pips

This setting is used to add additional TP/SL in pips. You would likely to use this settings if you want to add a buffer to the TP/SL, especially if you are copying to a slave account with different broker that has worse spread.

​

Delay in Milliseconds

This setting is used to add max delay in milliseconds before the trade is copied to the slave account. The delay will be applied in random manner from 0ms to the value you set in this field.

​

Reverse Mode

This setting is used to reverse trade the trades. You should only use this option if you intend to use the slave account for hedging purposes.

​

Account Protection Mode

This setting is used to protect your account when certain balance/equity has been reached. By default it is set to “Off”.

Ideal use case for this setting is for prop firm accounts. Set the minimum threshold to just above the max daily DD, and set the max threshold to target profit.

​

Minimum Threshold

If you set account protection mode on, the copying operation will be stopped and all open positions will be closed when your balance/equity has fallen below the value of this field.

For example, if you want the slave account to stop copying and close all the operations when your balance/equity falls below 96k of base currency, then just enter 96000.

​

Maximum Threshold

If you set account protection mode on, the copying operation will be stopped and all open positions will be closed when your balance/equity has reached above the value of this field.

For example, if you want the slave account to stop copying and close all the operations when your balance/equity reaches 110k of base currency, then just enter 110000.
