Install MT4 or MT5 signal EA.
1. Put “MT4ToThinkTrader.ex4” or “MT5ToThinkTrader.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.
If you've more ThinkTrader accounts to copy,

Below are the other signal ea variable explanations:
- Symbol mapping list
If ThinkTrader symbol name is different with MetaTrader's, please input as by this format:
MT4/MT5's symbol name first, comma, then ThinkTrader's, then semi-colon
If your MT4/MT5 symbol name is called USTEC
ThinkTrader 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 ThinkTrader.
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 ThinkTrader.
- Add Extra Symbol Postfix To ThinkTrader
All symbol names will add this common postfix to ThinkTrader. 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 ThinkTrader, for instance, input
EURUSD,10;XAUUSD,2;
If simply input
10
All trade lots at MT4/MT5 will be multiplied by 10.
- Partial close - default is set as true
- TP/SL price copy is *enabled* by default. You could disable if you don't want to copy TP/SL prices to ThinkTrader account.
Even TP/SL prices are not copied, this copier will send out the order close signal to ThinkTrader accounts if MT trades get closed by hitting TP/SL prices.
'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 ThinkTrader as ThinkTrader 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 option is 'Fixed Lot'. If you want to use fixed lot mode, select that mode and then set a fixed lot value at 'Fixed Lot' variable.
- 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 ThinkTrader.
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
TTDISABLE
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.
