METATRADER TO CTRADER TRADE COPIER

This is the user guide for 'MT4/MT5 to cTrader' trade copier

Non API Approach

Quick Note:

1. This copier uses cTrader Non-API approach to design. That is for traders whose broker or prop firms restrict cTrader cBot or API access.

2. This Non-API copier doesn't support limit/stop order copy.

However, it will send out market order entry when limit/stop order fulfilled at MT side.

If you really need limit/stop copy, please use our cTrader cBot approach copier that is included at the delivery package as well.

3. That cTrader bridge app will handle reconnection logics if cTrader server is under maintenance or downtime. It will also output the latest position count of that cTrader account at the log panel as well as trade error messages.

4. This copier can support multiple MT4/MT5 account copy to multiple cTrader accounts concurrently.

========

Install 'cTraderBridge' app

1. This bridge app can work without cTrader app or webtrader. However, that will be more desirable that you could keep cTrader app opened to monitor copy progress.

2. Unzip 'cTraderBridge.zip'

3. Do anything from that *unzipped* folder

4. Modify config.ini file inside that folder

license_key=

input your license key.

e.g.

license_key=taigk97+mttoct@gmail.com

its format is

Your cTrader account login email address or cTrader Id

Your cTrader account login password

Your broker or prop firm name

Your broker or prop firm account number

separate each by comma

for example

- At below screenshot, those marked area refer to cTrader account login email address or cTrader id and password:

- For your cTrader broker name,

please refer to your cTrader login window.

If your cTrader uses generic cTrader login page like below,

you could use 'spotware' or 'ctrader' as broker name.

If your cTrader login window shows, e.g. FTMO or ICMarkets or FundedNext, just use that name as broker name.

If your prop firm (e.g. Maven or E8) uses other third party cTrader broker service, please input that third party cTrader broker name.

At this article end, there is a list of cTrader brokers (as of Aug 2025). Please cross check there as well.

Your input of broker name will be further processed by this copier app. It is case *insensitive*.

Purple Trading

purple trading

purpletrading

Either one can be well recognized by this copier app.

- Your broker or prop firm account number can be found at cTrader app or their webtrader right upper corner (after login).

If you have more broker accounts to log in,

duplicate more login= lines with different login credential.

You could put multiple accounts under the same cTrader login or different cTrader login.

For instance:

5. Save that config.ini file

6. Start that cTraderBridge app

7. After license check, click 'Copy Start' button to start.

8. Wait for "Ready to bridge signal' message come out.

9. If you get any login failure message, correct your credential info at config.ini file and then save it. Click that 'Copy Start' button to reload config file.

10. If you want to hold up copy, just click that 'Copy Start' button again (to stop or resume)

======

Install MT4 or MT5 signal EA.

1. Put “MT4ToCTNonAPI.ex4” or “MT5ToCTNonAPI.ex5” to \MQL4\Experts\ or \MQL5\Experts\ folder.

At MT4 or MT5, “Menu” → “Tools” → “Options”, at below selection, click “Allow DLL Import” - as this EA needs network authentication for use.

2. Open one chart to attach one signal ea for one cTrader account. It will scan all trades of that MT account.

Fill in your copier license key and cTrader broker account number at:

If you've more cTrader accounts to copy,

- Just open another chart to attach that signal ea and input another cTrader broker account number.

3. If you want to hold that signal ea, please click 'Stop Signal' button at ea panel to stop. If you want to resume, click that button again.

Kindly be aware MT auto trading button doesn't apply to this signal ea operation. You needs to use that panel button to stop/resume.

======

Below are the other signal ea variable explanations:

- Symbol mapping list

If cTrader symbol name is different with MetaTrader's, please input as by this forma:

MT4/MT5's symbol name first, comma, then cTrader's, then semi-colon

If your MT4/MT5 symbol name is called USTEC

cTrader symbol name is NAS100

set

USTEC,NAS100;

at that 'symbol mapping list' variable

if two pairs, cascade the mapping string

e.g.

BICUSD,BITCOIN;XAUUSD,GOLD;

- 'MetaTrader Symbol Prefix To Be Ignored' and 'MetaTrader Symbol Postfix To Be Ignored'

assume you input prefix en and that MT4/MT5 symbol is enEURUSD, this copier EA will remove the prefix 'en' and convert it as EURUSD before sending to cTrader.

assume you input postfix .st and that MT4/MT5 symbol is EURUSD.st, this copier EA will remove the postfix '.st' and convert it as EURUSD before sending to cTrader.

- Add Extra Symbol Postfix To cTrader

All symbol names will add this common postfix to cTrader. For instance, if setting .PRO, EURUSD will be converted as EURUSD.PRO and GBPUSD as GBPUSD.PRO so you don't need to set one by one at 'Symbol Mapping List' variable.

- Lot multiplier list

If you want to multiply the lot value to cTrader, for instance, input

EURUSD,10;XAUUSD,2;

If simply input

All trade lots at MT4/MT5 will be multiplied by 10.

- Partial close - default is set as true

- TP/SL price copy is *disabled* by default. You could enable if you need this feature.

'No Close Signals If That Dealt Order Has TP/SL Prices' ---> if enabled, this feature is to refrain sending MT4/MT5 position *exit* signal to cTrader as cTrader trades already have got its own TP/SL. Recommend to keep this false as default.

- Lot mode - default is 'follow MT4/MT5 order lot'; another two options are 'Equity-To-Equity' and 'Fixed Lot'

- Order magic number list - you could assign specific magic number for trade signaling.

For multiple magic, separate each with comma.

For instance, 3413434,1343292

Default is a blank string, i.e. applying on all trades.

Special reminder:

If you put your ea's magic number and want to limit the copy to it, e.g. magic number 3421243

Then MT4/MT5 signal ea will only scan orders with magic number = 3421243

Kindy be aware MT4/MT5 manual order's magic number is 0.

If you want to have that signal ea cover BOTH manual orders and your own ea orders, it should be set like

0,3421243

i.e. include 0 at magic number list

- Applicable symbol list - you could restrict to specific symbol/instruments. Separate each with comma, e.g. EURUSD,XAUUSD,USOIL

Default is a blank string, i.e. applying on all symbols.

- Applicable comment list - you could restrict to specific order comment. Separate each with comma.

- Reverse trade - if setting true, it will reverse the trade signal to cTrader.

For instance, a LONG trade will be signaled as a SHORT trade.

Default is false.

- As there are great variations of customer custom needs of control or filter requirements, this copier use the alternative approach to accommodate.

If enable "Enable Hold-Up Feature?" variable (default is false), MT4/MT5 signal EA will keep checking whether MT4/MT5 global variable named

CTNONAPIDISABLE

is 1 or not. If that equals 1, MT4/MT5 signal EA will hold up. It doesn't equal or that global variable is not set, MT4/MT5 signal EA will keep running.

You could self write (or hire a developer) to write an EA or indicator to set value to that global variable with your own control/filter logics.
