CTRADER TO CTRADER TRADE COPIER
User Guide: cTrader to cTrader Trade Copier
1. Open the Documents folder on your computer.
Go to \cAlgo\Sources\Robots.
Move cTraderCopier.algo into the Robots folder.
2. Open two cTrader instances.
Double-click the cTrader icon again to launch another instance on the same computer.
3. In the Trade tab, open any chart:
Click the cBot icon in the menu and select cTraderCopier.
If an access prompt appears on the first run, allow full access.
4. Enter your license key in the cBot settings.
5. For the source account, set "copier mode" to Signal.
6. For the destination account, set "copier mode" to Receiver.
The same cBot supports both Signal and Receiver modes. Select the required role in "copier mode".
Use different accounts in the source and destination cTrader instances. Copying to the same account can create an endless loop.
7. Special Note:
For lower latency, or when running the copier on many charts such as more than three, use the alternative method that exchanges data through your computer's memory:
(a) Download RelayBridge.zip from the Misc subfolder at the shared download link.
(b) Extract the ZIP file and run RelayBridge.exe from the extracted folder.
(c) Enable "Use Relay Bridge?" in both the source and destination cBots.
8. One Signal cBot can serve multiple Receiver cBots. It is the source for its copying group.
For additional signal sources, use a unique "Copy group ID string" for each source and all of its receivers.
Two Signal cBots must not share a group ID, including a blank ID, or their signals may be mixed and produce unexpected results.
9. No further settings are required in Signal mode.
Click the > button to start the cBot. Signal and Receiver modes display panels in different colors.
10. Receiver Settings

Or enter a single value, such as 5, to multiply all lot sizes by 5.

Set the corresponding value when using fixed lot, percent-per-balance, or percent-per-equity.
