2026-06-09 – Local Trade Copier Version 3.0.2
Version 3.0.2
✅ Client EA Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the Client EA could not start on some MT5 accounts with EA trading disabled, even when using Manual-Like Entry Execution mode.
- Fixed an issue where the Client EA could not place trades in Manual-Like Entry Execution mode on freshly created MT5 accounts.
These fixes improve compatibility with MT5 brokers and prop firms that restrict or disable automated trading.
✅ Server EA Fix
- Fixed an issue where the Server EA displayed an incorrect application version number.
The Server EA will now show the correct version information.
2026-05-18 – Local Trade Copier Version 3.0.0
Starting from this release, both MT4 and MT5 versions will now use the same version number to make updates easier to track and identify.
Client EA for both MT4 and MT5 has been updated with major new functionality and improvements.
✅ New: Manual-Like Execution Mode
Local Trade Copier can also apply Stop Loss and Take Profit during trade entry. If the broker blocks automated trade management, any further SL/TP modifications and trade closing must be handled manually by the trader.
Brokers will recognize such trades as fully manual trades.
✅ New: Open Delay Random Range (sec)
Added a new random trade entry delay system.
The Client EA will randomly choose a delay value between your configured minimum and maximum settings before opening each copied trade.
This creates more natural execution timing and avoids identical trade entry timing patterns between MT4 and MT5 accounts.
✅ New: Close Delay Random Range (sec)
Added a new random trade close delay system.
The Client EA will randomly choose a delay value between your configured minimum and maximum settings before closing each copied trade.
This creates less predictable exit timing and avoids identical close timing behavior.
✅ New: Trade Protection Requirement
You can now require trades to already have:
- Stop Loss
- Take Profit
- or both
before Local Trade Copier is allowed to copy them.
This helps avoid opening unprotected trades, especially when using Manual-Like Execution Mode on brokers with restricted EA trading.
✅ Fixed MT5 Error 4756
Improved compatibility with MT5 brokers and fixed the annoying 4756 trading error that prevented trade copying on some brokers.
Client EA now works correctly on even more MT5 brokers.
✅ Improved MT5 Trading Session Detection
Improved how Client EA on MT5 detects trading sessions.
This fixes issues where some instruments incorrectly reported that trading sessions were closed on certain brokers or prop firms.
✅ LTC Now Uses Points Instead of Pips
All calculations and configuration settings are now based entirely on Points instead of pips.
Previously, Local Trade Copier used old-style pip-to-point conversions, which often caused confusion because different brokers and instruments use different digit formats.
Now, everything is much simpler and more precise:
- The distance you see in MT4/MT5 using the crosshair tool (CTRL+F)
- is the exact same value you use in LTC settings.
No more pip conversion confusion.
Because of this improvement, the parameter CustomPipSizes has been removed and is no longer needed.
✅ New SL/TP Copy Mode: Increase by Random X Points
Added a new SL/TP copy mode that randomly increases Stop Loss and Take Profit distances by a configured number of points.
This helps make copied trades look more different from the original master trades by creating variations in SL/TP placement.
Useful for traders who want:
- less identical trade patterns,
- more natural-looking copied trades,
- and additional separation between master and client accounts.
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.
