IPTRADE CTR Trade Copier Configuration

Account Types

IPTRADE CTR supports three types of account configurations:

• Pending: Appears when you connect your cTrader account; remains inactive until you configure it.
• Master: Emits trades that will be copied; only replicates if enabled.
• Slave: Copies trades from a specified master; only copies if enabled.

Basic Flow

1. Connect cTrader account: Authorize IPTRADE CTR to access your cTrader account through the cTrader Open API. The account appears as pending and goes online.
2. Configure account type:
   • Master: Enable the account so its trades are replicated.
   • Slave: Select the master to follow and enable the account.
3. Trading operations: Both master and slave accounts have an enabled/disabled status. If the master is enabled, each event (open/modify/close) is sent to connected slaves that are also enabled. If a slave is disabled, it will not receive any events. If a master is disabled, it will not send events to slaves, even if the slaves are enabled.

Slave Configuration

IPTRADE CTR is optimized for speed, so slave configuration is streamlined with only essential options:

Master to Follow

• Select the master account to copy from.
• If no master is selected, the slave shows as "disconnected".

Lot Multiplier

• Volume = master volume × multiplier.
• Adjust the multiplier to scale your trade sizes proportionally.

Reverse Trading

• Inverts buy/sell orders.
• Swaps limit/stop orders.
• Also swaps stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP).

Note: Unlike IPTRADE Multi, CTR does not include nicknames, symbol translation, prefix/suffix configuration, or fixed lot mode. This streamlined approach maximizes copying speed for cTrader-to-cTrader operations where symbol names are typically consistent.

Important Note: If the resulting volume is less than 0.01, the order will not be sent.

Status and Connection

Online/Offline Status

• Status updates automatically when cTrader connection is active.
• If the connection is lost, the account status changes to offline (check your internet connection and cTrader account status).

Master-Slave Relationship

• If you disable a master account, its slaves are automatically disabled to prevent trading operations.

Trade Copier Configuration

This configuration guide applies to IPTRADE Multi and IPTRADE Cloud Products (Cloud Copier and Private Cloud).

Note: IPTRADE CTR has a streamlined configuration optimized for speed. See the IPTRADE CTR Trade Copier Configuration section for CTR-specific configuration.

Account Types

All products support three types of account configurations:

• Pending: Appears when you connect an account; remains inactive until you configure it.
• Master: Emits trades that will be copied; only replicates if enabled.
• Slave: Copies trades from a specified master; only copies if enabled.

Basic Flow

1. Connect account:
   • IPTRADE Multi: Install and connect bots to your trading platforms. The account appears as pending.
   • Cloud Products: Add your trading account through the web dashboard. The account appears as pending.
2. Configure account type:
   • Master: Enable the account so its trades are replicated.
   • Slave: Select the master to follow and enable the account.

If a slave is disabled, it will not receive any events. If a master is disabled, it will not send events to slaves, even if the slaves are enabled.

Slave Configuration

When configuring a slave account, you have several options:

Master to Follow

• Select the master account to copy from.
• If you select "none", the slave remains disconnected.

Size Mode

• Multiplier: Volume = master volume × multiplier.
• Fixed lot: Always uses the lot size you specify.

Symbols

Symbol Translation

• Maps different symbols between brokers (high priority).
• Use this when brokers use different symbol names for the same instrument.

Prefix and Suffix

• Configure prefix and suffix to add or remove text from the symbol if your broker requires it.
• Both prefix and suffix can be set to either add or remove mode.
• Example: If your broker uses "EURUSD.a" instead of "EURUSD", you can configure a suffix with "remove" mode and value ".a" to automatically remove it, or configure a prefix with "add" mode and value "EURUSD." if needed.

Reverse Trading

• Inverts buy/sell orders.
• Swaps limit/stop orders.
• Also swaps stop loss (SL) and take profit (TP).

Important Note: If the resulting volume is less than 0.01, the order will not be sent.

• Cloud Products: Status updates automatically when account connection is active. If the connection is lost, the account status changes to offline (check your broker connection).

Master-Slave Relationship

Can I copy trades across different platforms?

Cross-platform copying is available with IPTRADE Multi. You can copy trades between MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and cTrader platforms, even across different brokers. Multi handles symbol translation, prefix/suffix adjustments, and lot size calculations automatically. IPTRADE CTR is optimized exclusively for cTrader-to-cTrader copying with streamlined configuration (lot multiplier and reverse trading only) for maximum speed - ideal when using the same broker across accounts.

Yes! IPTRADE CTR offers native Mac support, allowing you to copy trades between cTrader accounts directly from your Mac. If you need to copy between MetaTrader platforms (MT4/MT5), IPTRADE Multi is Windows-only, but you can run it on a Windows VPS while using your Mac for other tasks.

Yes, each IPTRADE product requires its own subscription:

• IPTRADE Multi - separate subscription
• IPTRADE CTR - separate subscription
• IPTRADE Cloud Copier - separate subscription (priced per account)
• IPTRADE Private Cloud - separate subscription (priced per account)

Each subscription covers one product. If you need multiple products (e.g., Multi for local copying and Cloud Copier for cloud copying), you would need separate subscriptions for each. Most users only need one product based on their requirements.

How difficult is the installation?

Local Products (Multi & CTR): Installation is quick and straightforward - typically takes about 5 minutes. IPTRADE Multi requires installing bots to your trading platforms, while IPTRADE CTR connects directly to cTrader using the cTrader Open API. Both offer guided, user-friendly setup processes.

Can I use IPTRADE on a VPS?

Local Products (Multi & CTR): Yes, you can install both IPTRADE Multi and IPTRADE CTR on a VPS for 24/7 operation. IPTRADE Multi requires a Windows VPS, while IPTRADE CTR can run on either Windows or Mac-compatible cloud environments. This is recommended for continuous trade copying without keeping your personal computer on.

Cloud Products: No VPS needed! Cloud products run entirely in our cloud infrastructure. Cloud Copier uses shared infrastructure for cost-effectiveness, while Private Cloud provides you with a dedicated VPS exclusively for you that we manage. Both run 24/7 without requiring any VPS setup or management on your part.

What's the latency and speed?

Local Products (Multi & CTR): Lightning-fast trade copying with sub-millisecond latency. Since everything runs locally on your computer, there's no cloud delay. Trades are replicated instantly between accounts, ensuring you never miss a trading opportunity.

Which IPTRADE product should I choose?

For Local Control & Privacy:

• Choose IPTRADE Multi if you trade on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, or need to copy trades between different platforms (e.g., MT4 to cTrader). Multi offers full configuration including symbol translation, prefix/suffix adjustments, and fixed lot mode.
• Choose IPTRADE CTR if you exclusively use cTrader and want native Mac support or maximum speed. CTR has streamlined configuration (lot multiplier and reverse trading only) which makes it faster and ideal for same-broker cTrader copying.

For Cloud Convenience & 24/7 Uptime:

• Choose IPTRADE Cloud Copier if you want cost-effective 24/7 uptime without managing infrastructure. Perfect for traders who want convenience and don't need dedicated resources. Shared infrastructure at $10/account/month.
• Choose IPTRADE Private Cloud if you need guaranteed performance, dedicated VPS, complete isolation, and dedicated IP address. Perfect for professional traders, prop firms, and institutions. Includes root access on request. $20/account/month.

For Prop Firms: We recommend local products (Multi or CTR) or Private Cloud for maximum compliance. Cloud Copier uses shared IP and may not be suitable for all prop firms - check with your prop firm's policies.

Can I switch between products?

Yes! Each product has its own subscription, so you can subscribe to multiple products if needed. However, most users only need one product based on their trading style and requirements. You can also cancel and switch to a different product at any time.

What happens if I exceed my account limit?

Local Products (Multi & CTR): On Free plan, you can only connect 3 accounts. On Premium, only 5 accounts. If you need more, upgrade to Unlimited. The software will prevent you from adding more accounts than your plan allows.

Cloud Products: Simply add more accounts to your subscription. You'll be charged for each additional account at the per-account rate. There's no hard limit—scale as much as you need.
