How to Copy Trades from MT4/MT5 to Multiple Match-Trader/DXTrade Accounts

In this article, we will guide you on how to copy trades to multiple DXTrade accounts. While we are using DXTrade as an example, the same process applies to Match-Trader.

Setting Up Multiple DXTrade Accounts

To copy trades to multiple DXTrade accounts, you need to attach the EA (Expert Advisor) to multiple charts within your MT4/MT5 platform—one for each DXTrade account you want to copy trades to.

Example:

If you have two DXTrade accounts and want to copy trades to both, follow these steps:

  • Attach the EA to two different charts.
  • Configure each EA instance with the credentials for a specific DXTrade account.

Configuring the EA for Multiple Accounts

Each EA instance must be configured separately to avoid conflicts. Here's what to do:

1. Set a Unique FileNumber for Each EA Instance:

The Unique FileNumber is critical for saving data without conflicts. If you run multiple EA instances on the same MT4/MT5 platform, each instance must have a different Unique FileNumber.

Example:

    • EA 1: Set Unique FileNumber = 222
    • EA 2: Set Unique FileNumber = 333

Failing to assign unique numbers will cause data conflicts between the EAs.

2. Use Different DXTrade Credentials:

Each EA instance must be configured with a unique set of DXTrade account credentials. Never use the same DXTrade account credentials on multiple EA instances.

Additional Tips

    • You can attach the EA to any currency pair chart; the pair you choose does not affect the copying process.
    • Always double-check that each EA instance has a unique Unique FileNumber and different account credentials.

Key Points to Remember

  • Attach the EA to separate charts for each DXTrade account.
  • Set a unique Unique FileNumber for each EA instance.
  • Use different DXTrade credentials for each EA.

By following these steps, you can seamlessly copy trades from MT4/MT5 to multiple DXTrade (or Match-Trader) accounts using our copy trading robot.
