IPTRADE Multi Trade Copier Configuration

Account Types

IPTRADE Multi supports three types of account configurations:

• Pending: Appears when you connect the bot; remains inactive until you configure it.
• Master: Emits trades that will be copied; only replicates if enabled.
• Slave: Copies trades from a specified master; only copies if enabled.

Basic Flow

1. Connect the bot: When you connect the bot, it sends "ready" to the IPTRADE App, and the account appears as pending and goes online.
2. Configure account type:
   • Master: Enable the account so its trades are replicated.
   • Slave: Select the master to follow and enable the account.
3. Trading operations: Both master and slave accounts have an enabled/disabled status. If the master is enabled, each event (open/modify/close) is sent to connected slaves that are also enabled. If a slave is disabled, it will not receive any events. If a master is disabled, it will not send events to slaves, even if the slaves are enabled.

Slave Configuration

When configuring a slave account, you have several options:

Master to Follow

• Select the master account to copy from.
• If you select "none", the slave remains disconnected.

Size Mode

• Multiplier: Volume = master volume × multiplier.
• Fixed lot: Always uses the lot size you specify.

Symbols

Symbol Translation

• Maps different symbols between brokers (high priority).
• Use this when brokers use different symbol names for the same instrument.

Prefix and Suffix

• Configure prefix and suffix to add or remove text from the symbol if your broker requires it.
• Both prefix and suffix can be set to either add or remove mode.
• Example: If your broker uses "EURUSD.a" instead of "EURUSD", you can configure a suffix with "remove" mode and value ".a" to automatically remove it, or configure a prefix with "add" mode and value "EURUSD." if needed.

Reverse Trading

• Inverts buy/sell orders.
• Swaps limit/stop orders.
• Also swaps stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP).

Important Note: If the resulting volume is less than 0.01, the order will not be sent.

Status and Connection

Online/Offline Status

• Status updates automatically when bot connection is received.
• If bot connection is not received within approximately 40 seconds, the account status changes to offline (check bot/network connection).

Master-Slave Relationship

• If you disable a master account, its slaves are automatically disabled to prevent trading operations.

Best Practices

• Use nicknames: Assign nicknames to distinguish between accounts.
• Symbol translation priority: Use direct symbol translation before prefixes/suffixes if brokers differ.
• Pausing a slave: To pause a slave without losing setup, disable it or temporarily remove its master.
• Check your plan limits: Verify that your plan doesn't limit accounts or lot sizes before trading.

IPTRADE CTR Trade Copier Configuration

Account Types

IPTRADE CTR supports three types of account configurations:

• Pending: Appears when you connect your cTrader account; remains inactive until you configure it.
• Master: Emits trades that will be copied; only replicates if enabled.
• Slave: Copies trades from a specified master; only copies if enabled.

Basic Flow

1. Connect cTrader account: Authorize IPTRADE CTR to access your cTrader account through the cTrader Open API. The account appears as pending and goes online.
2. Configure account type:

   • Slave: Select the master to follow and enable the account.
3. Trading operations: Both master and slave accounts have an enabled/disabled status. If the master is enabled, each event (open/modify/close) is sent to connected slaves that are also enabled. If a slave is disabled, it will not receive any events. If a master is disabled, it will not send events to slaves, even if the slaves are enabled.

Slave Configuration

IPTRADE CTR is optimized for speed, so slave configuration is streamlined with only essential options:

Master to Follow

• Select the master account to copy from.
• If no master is selected, the slave shows as "disconnected".

Lot Multiplier

• Volume = master volume × multiplier.
• Adjust the multiplier to scale your trade sizes proportionally.

Reverse Trading

• Inverts buy/sell orders.
• Swaps limit/stop orders.
• Also swaps stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP).

Note: Unlike IPTRADE Multi, CTR does not include nicknames, symbol translation, prefix/suffix configuration, or fixed lot mode. This streamlined approach maximizes copying speed for cTrader-to-cTrader operations where symbol names are typically consistent.

Important Note: If the resulting volume is less than 0.01, the order will not be sent.

Status and Connection

Online/Offline Status

• Status updates automatically when cTrader connection is active.
• If the connection is lost, the account status changes to offline (check your internet connection and cTrader account status).

Master-Slave Relationship

• If you disable a master account, its slaves are automatically disabled to prevent trading operations.

Best Practices

• Pausing a slave: To pause a slave without losing setup, disable it or temporarily remove its master.
• Check your plan limits: Verify that your plan doesn't limit accounts or lot sizes before trading.
• Keep cTrader open: Ensure your cTrader platform is running and connected for IPTRADE CTR to function properly.
• Same broker recommended: Since CTR doesn't have symbol translation, using the same broker for all accounts ensures symbol compatibility and maximum speed.

FAQ

What's the difference between IPTRADE Multi and IPTRADE CTR?

IPTRADE CTR is our lightweight solution optimized specifically for cTrader, available on both Mac and Windows. CTR prioritizes speed with streamlined slave configuration (lot multiplier and reverse trading only). Choose Multi if you need multi-platform support or advanced configuration, or CTR if you exclusively use cTrader and want maximum speed with native Mac compatibility.

How does IPTRADE work?

Both IPTRADE Multi and IPTRADE CTR are locally-installed applications that automatically replicate trades between multiple trading accounts in real-time. You configure one account as Master (source) and others as Slaves (copiers), and trades are instantly copied with millisecond latency. Everything runs on your local computer with complete privacy and a single IP address for all accounts.

Is IPTRADE safe for prop firms?

Yes, both IPTRADE Multi and IPTRADE CTR are completely safe for prop firm accounts. All accounts operate from the same IP address (prop firm compliant), all processing happens locally on your computer with zero data exposure to external servers, and you never get blocked or banned. IPTRADE is the safe alternative to Traders Connect and Social Traders Tools for prop firm traders.

Can I copy trades across different platforms?

Cross-platform copying is available with IPTRADE Multi. You can copy trades between MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and cTrader platforms, even across different brokers. Multi handles symbol translation, prefix/suffix adjustments, and lot size calculations automatically. IPTRADE CTR is optimized exclusively for cTrader-to-cTrader copying with streamlined configuration (lot multiplier and reverse trading only) for maximum speed - ideal when using the same broker across accounts.

What are the system requirements?

IPTRADE Multi requires Windows 10/11, minimum 8GB RAM, 2GB free disk space, and a stable internet connection. IPTRADE CTR works on both Mac (macOS 12+) and Windows (10/11), with the same RAM and disk requirements. Both applications are lightweight and run efficiently on most modern computers.

Which trading platforms are compatible?

IPTRADE Multi supports MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5), and cTrader - you can copy trades between any combination of these platforms.

Do I need separate subscriptions for Multi and CTR?

Yes, IPTRADE Multi and IPTRADE CTR are separate products with independent subscriptions. Each subscription covers one product. If you need both multi-platform copying (MT4/MT5/cTrader) and native Mac support for cTrader, you would need two subscriptions. Most users only need one product based on their platform requirements.

How difficult is the installation?

Installation is quick and straightforward for both products - typically takes about 5 minutes. IPTRADE Multi requires installing bots to your trading platforms, while IPTRADE CTR connects directly to cTrader using the cTrader Open API. Both offer guided, user-friendly setup processes.
