What is a trade copier?

A trade copier copies trades from one trading account, the master, to one or more other accounts automatically. When the master opens, changes or closes a trade, every copy account follows, each sized by its own rules.

The PerformanceLens trade copier does this for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, in any mix and across any brokers, running on the VPS you already use. Every copy is logged, and you can check every account from the iOS and Android apps.

How the trade copier works

  1. Install the copier EA

    Add the copier EA to the master account and to each copy account in MetaTrader 4 or 5, all on the same computer or VPS. On MT5, the desktop EA Updater can install and update it for you.

  2. Pair your accounts

    In the web dashboard, choose which master copies to which accounts, and set lot sizing, symbol mapping, news filter and equity protection for each pair. Changes reach your EAs on their next sync.

  3. Trades copy, and every one is logged

    The master writes each trade to a local file and every copy account places it at its own broker. Each trade is logged as Copied, Queued, Failed, Skipped or Manual, with the reason, on the web and in the apps.

Everything else you need to copy with confidence

Cloud dashboard

Set up pairs, sizing and risk limits in your browser. Change anything from anywhere — your EAs pick it up on the next sync, with no EA settings to edit.

MetaTrader 5 running the Trade Copier EA on a VPS

Runs on your own VPS

The copier EA runs next to your MT4 or MT5 terminals — no cloud relay in the middle. Copies go straight from your terminal to your broker, from your own IP address.

Hold, skip or close copies around high-impact economic events. Set it per pair.

EA Updater desktop app listing installed EA versions for every MT5 terminal

One-click EA installer

The desktop app finds every MT5 terminal on your machine and installs or updates the EAs for you. No per-file downloads, no version juggling.

Works across brokers

Automatic symbol matching across brokers (XAUUSD → GOLD), custom mappings, cent accounts, and stops widened to the broker’s minimum distance so copies aren’t rejected.

Equity protection

Set drawdown or profit limits in % or $. When one is hit, get an alert, pause the copier, or close the copied trades automatically.

Auto-recovery

Broker disconnect, closed market or EA restart? With recovery on, missed trades are queued and copied when it’s safe — only at the same or a better price unless you set a limit.

End-to-end encryption

AES-256 encryption with signed payloads on every sync. Account numbers, balances and trade data never travel in the clear.

Local vs cloud trade copiers

Cloud copiers relay your trades through the provider's servers. A local copier like ours runs inside MetaTrader on your own VPS, so copies go straight from your terminal to your broker.

Trade copier FAQ

What is a trade copier?

A trade copier is software that copies trades from one trading account, the master, to one or more other accounts automatically. When the master opens, changes or closes a trade, each copy account does the same, sized by its own rules.

Can I copy someone else's trades?

No. PerformanceLens copies between accounts you own or control. We don't provide signals or connect you to other traders.

How does the PerformanceLens trade copier work?

You run our copier EA in MetaTrader on the master and on each copy account, all on the same computer or VPS. The master writes every trade to a local file and each copy account places it at its own broker, sized the way you set it in the web dashboard. Every trade is logged with its outcome.

Can I copy trades from MT4 to MT5?

Yes. Masters and copy accounts can be any mix of MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, at any brokers, in either direction. Symbol names are matched automatically (for example XAUUSD to GOLD), and you can add your own mappings.

Can I copy several master accounts into one account?

Yes. You can copy one master to many accounts, or several masters into a single account, with separate sizing and settings for each pair.

How much does the trade copier cost?

The trade copier is included with every PerformanceLens plan: Trader is $19/month for 3 accounts, Analyst $39/month for 10 accounts and Quant $69/month for 15 accounts. Additional accounts are $4 per account, per month. Your account allowance covers both analytics and copying, and every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

Do I need a VPS?

You need a Windows computer or VPS that stays on, because the copier runs as an EA inside MetaTrader. The master and its copy accounts run on the same machine, so copies go straight from your terminal to your broker with no cloud relay in between.

What happens if a trade doesn't copy?

It is logged with a status (Copied, Queued, Failed, Skipped or Manual) and a plain-English reason, such as market closed, symbol missing or AutoTrading off. With trade recovery switched on, a missed trade is queued and copied once it can be, at the same or a better price or within the limit you set.

Is there a free trade copier?

Free copiers exist, usually as a single EA without a dashboard, logs, mobile apps or support. PerformanceLens isn't free, but it starts with a 7-day free trial and costs from $3.90 per account on the Analyst plan.
