MT5 trade copier

HydraSync FX copies trades from a MetaTrader 5 account to your other accounts automatically, whether they are on MT5, MT4, cTrader, TradeLocker, DXtrade or MatchTrader. MT5 can also be the destination, receiving trades from any of those platforms or from a Telegram signal channel.

How it connects

Three ways, all on the Accounts page:

• The HydraSync Expert Advisor, a single EA attached to one chart. Your terminal places the orders, so no API access is needed at the broker.
• The desktop connector, an alternative to the EA file for MT5.
• MetaApi (beta), for an account that only receives copies: connected through your own MetaApi account from our servers, nothing to install. See Platforms.

With the EA or the connector, the connection runs on your side, so the MT5 terminal must stay open, on your computer or a Windows VPS. With MetaApi it does not. The EA's role (source, destination or both) comes from the copy links you create on the web.

What is copied

• New BUY and SELL positions, with stop loss and take profit
• Stop loss and take profit changes
• Closes and partial closes (the same fraction as the source)
• Close all from the source

Each copy carries its own magic number, so copied trades are easy to tell apart from your manual ones.

Lot size and protection

Per copy link: exact lots, fixed lot, multiplier, proportional to balance or equity, risk % or fixed amount per trade (from the signal's stop loss), or risk multiplier. Add lot caps, symbol and magic-number filters, reverse copying, entry guards against late signals and price gaps, drawdown limits, trading sessions, a news filter and a kill switch. See Copy settings.

Set it up

1. Create an account (14-day free trial, no card).
2. Add your MT5 account on the Accounts page and download the EA.
3. In MT5, allow WebRequest for https://hydrasyncfx.com (Tools, Options, Expert Advisors), turn on Algo Trading, attach the EA to one chart and paste the account's key into ConnectionKey.
4. Add the destination accounts and create a copy link.
5. Test with a small trade on a demo account.

Good to know

• Set a symbol suffix or rename on destinations whose broker names instruments differently. See Symbols.
• Check your prop firm's rules on copy trading and EAs first: Prop firms.

FAQ

Can I copy MT5 to cTrader or TradeLocker?

Yes. HydraSync connects to cTrader and TradeLocker from its own servers, so only the MT5 side needs a running terminal. See the cTrader and TradeLocker pages.

Does it copy partial closes?

Yes. When the source closes half a position, the destination closes half of its copy.

Can I copy between two MT5 accounts on the same computer?

Yes. Attach the EA in each terminal with that account's own key, then link them on the web.

Can I copy only some symbols?

Yes. Each link has an allow list or a block list of symbols, and a magic-number filter.
