2026-02-11 – Local Trade Copier Version 2.9.9m & 1.1.15
LTC MT4: 2.9.9m
LTC MT5: 1.1.15
Client EA for both MT4 and MT5 has been updated.
✅ New Per-Trade Money TP/SL Options
Added new parameters:
-
TPMoneyPerTrade (incl. swap + commission)
-
SLMoneyPerTrade (incl. swap + commission)
This allows you to define money-based TP/SL per individual trade, instead of only managing total floating profit/loss across all trades.
More flexibility for traders who scale into positions or run multiple strategies.
✅ Safer Startup Behavior for Pending Orders
OpenNonTriggeredPendingOrders controls what happens when the Client EA starts.
Now, by default, when the EA loads, it will ignore pending orders that were already placed earlier on the master account.
However, it will still copy all new pending orders created after startup, as normal.
This prevents the common “ghost trades” issue, where old pending orders suddenly appear on the client after restarting the platform.
(Default changed from true → false.)
✅ Clearer Parameter Name
CopyOpenPositions renamed to CopyExistingMasterTradesOnStart (default remains false).
Same behavior, clearer meaning.
2026-02-05 – Local Trade Copier MT5 Version 1.1.14
We’ve released Local Trade Copier 1.1.14 for MT5 with an important fix.
We identified an issue affecting BrightFunded prop firm accounts, where some instruments were not copying trades and showed the message “trading session has not started yet”. This was caused by how trading sessions were detected on certain symbols.
✅ This issue has now been fixed.
If you are using MT5 with BrightFunded and experience missing trades on some instruments, please update to version 1.1.14 to resolve the problem.
👉 Important note about the download package
There are no changes to Local Trade Copier for MT4 in this update. When you download the Local Trade Copier ZIP file from the Download Center, you’ll see that the MT4 version remains 2.9.9k.
However, inside the same ZIP archive, you will find the updated MT5 version 1.1.14, which includes the BrightFunded fix mentioned above.
2026-01-20 – Local Trade Copier Version 2.9.9k & 1.1.13
✅ Safer default trade copying
By default, the Client EA now copies trades at any available price.
This reduces the chance of missed trades due to price differences, slippage, or fast market moves.
If you want stricter price control, you can change this behavior in the settings (Deviation settings).
✅ Dashboard layout improved for small screens
The dashboard text has been moved closer to the left side of the chart.
This makes it easier to read and use when you’re working with smaller chart windows or multiple charts.
✅ Clearer parameter explanations
Some settings now include explanations and example values.
This makes it easier to understand what each option does and how to configure it correctly—especially for new users.
✅ More useful info on the dashboard
The dashboard now shows additional details, such as:
- Which magic numbers are being copied
- Which trade types (BUY, SELL, etc.) are enabled
This gives you instant visibility and confidence that the copier is running exactly how you expect.
2025-09-09 – Local Trade Copier Version 2.9.9j & 1.1.12
We’ve just rolled out version 2.9.9j for MT4 and version 1.1.12 for MT5.
Both versions bring important fixes and new features designed to make trade copying smoother, safer, and more flexible—especially for prop firm traders.
✅ Trade closing sync fixed (MT4 + MT5)
This is important if you use functions CloseTradesWithClient=true and SendTradeCloseSignalsToMaster=true. When a trade is closed on the client side, it now correctly closes on the master side too. Works smoothly on both MT4 and MT5.
✅ New SL/TP copying option
You can now choose to copy Stop Loss and Take Profit by the same distance in points as the master trade, instead of the exact same price.
This helps when the copied trade opens at a slightly different price (because of spread, slippage, or broker differences), so your risk/reward stays identical to the master.
✅ Delay trades by X seconds (for prop firm traders)
A new setting lets you delay copying trades by a few seconds. This can help with prop firm rules where instant execution might not be ideal.
✅ Improved suffix handling
The EA automatic suffix detection has been improved and now works better. This is how it works if you have suffix detection set to auto (default mode).
- If you attach the EA to a pair with a suffix (like EURUSD.fx) → trades will be copied with that suffix.
- If you attach it to a pair without a suffix → trades will be copied without it.
- You can also force which suffix to use by attaching EA to the specific pair in case your broker has multiple suffixes.
More control and fewer symbol mismatch errors.
You also have other ways to set a suffix, allowing you to do so manually if needed.
✅ Auto-saving settings fixed
The Client EA now correctly saves your settings automatically. No more losing changes when you restart MT4/MT5.
✅ Negative magic numbers allowed
Small fix so the EA now supports negative magic numbers without errors.
✅ Better safety checks for trade permissions
If EA detects that it cannot open/close trades because of permissions, the EA now shows clear warnings when:
- Auto-trading is disabled in the platform,
- Live trading is not allowed in EA properties,
- The account is read-only (investor password), or
- Automated trading is disabled on the broker side.
This prevents confusion and helps you set things up correctly.
