Copy Trade
Mirror trades from master accounts
How Copy Trade works
Copy Trade mirrors trades from a master account to follower (slave) accounts. When the master opens, closes, or changes a position, LOTUX detects it and repeats it on each follower — using that follower's own sizing and risk rules.
It works server-side by watching the master account directly. There is no webhook or secret to set up (unlike TV Bridge or External Signals) — you connect accounts, not URLs.
Two ways to use it: copy between your OWN accounts (a copy group) — part of the Free plan; or follow ANOTHER person's master with a private invite code — this requires the Pro plan.
Supported platforms: MT5 and cTrader. LOTUX carries out the copied trades — it is not a broker and not investment advice.
Set up a master
You can act as a master in two ways:
- Your own accounts — create a copy group, add an account as the master, and connect it to your follower accounts.
- Share to others — set a master alias, then create a private invite code. This is private code-sharing, not a public marketplace. Codes can have an expiry and a use limit, and the full code is shown only once.
What gets copied from the master: market entries (buy / sell), closes, partial closes, pending orders (limit / stop) and their cancels, stop-loss / take-profit changes, and scale-ins (adding to a position). Note: on cTrader, mirroring partial closes to followers can be limited today; full closes copy normally.
Note: a free "Master EA gift" account can be a master inside your own group, but cannot publish invite codes for cross-user copy.
Follow a master
Follow a master in one of two ways: redeem a private invite code (following another user — Pro), or add your account as a follower inside your own copy group (same-user).
Sizing — choose how each follower sizes its trades:
- Multiplier — a multiple of the master's lot size.
- Fixed lot — always the same size.
- Balance ratio — proportional to your account's balance.
- Min / max lot and a max-lot cap are always respected.
Per-follower controls: symbol mapping, reverse copy (flip buy↔sell, with SL/TP mirrored — not available across different platforms), SL/TP mode (mirror the master's exact levels, ignore, or a custom fixed distance), and sync rules to turn on/off which action types copy (entries, pending, modify, close, partial, cancel — all on by default).
Manage copy groups
A copy group holds your accounts as members (master, follower, or both) and the master → follower connections between them.
- Connections are directed: master → follower.
- LOTUX blocks copy loops (A → B → A) and self-connections.
- Each member has its own copy settings.
Manage everything on the Copy Trade canvas (Copy app → Groups): create a group, add members, draw connections, and set each member's copy settings. Destructive changes (deleting a group, member, or connection) require a fresh two-factor (2FA) step-up.
