Key Capabilities at a Glance

• Execution Speed: Sub-millisecond local inter-process memory transfer.
• Total Data Privacy: Operates 100% locally on your machine with zero external cloud servers. Account credentials, balance figures, and trade histories never leave your computer.
• Account Topologies: Supports One-to-Many, Many-to-One, and Many-to-Many copying configurations.
• Account Compatibility: Seamless copying between Real and Demo accounts across any cTrader broker.
• Platform Compatibility: Runs natively on cTrader Desktop for Windows, Mac, and Windows VPS environments.
• Read-Only Account Copying: Master accounts can be logged in with read-only investor passwords.
• Minimal System Footprint: High-efficiency code engineered to consume negligible CPU and memory, even when managing dozens of open positions.

Advanced Risk & Position Sizing Suite

• Master Risk Percentage Replication: Calculates the exact percentage of balance the master is risking on each trade based on Stop Loss distance, volume, and tick value: Risk Money = SL Distance (Points) x Symbol TickValue x Volume Master Risk % = (Risk Money / Master Balance) x 100 The receiver replicates this exact risk percentage on its own account, automatically adjusting for differences in balance sizes and account currencies.
• Configurable Risk Multiplier: Scale master risk up or down (e.g., 0.5x for half risk, 2.0x for double risk) with a hard maximum receiver risk percentage safety cap.
• No-SL Safety Handling: Configurable safety behavior if the master trade has no Stop Loss (safely skip the trade or execute at minimum lot so uncalculated risk is never taken).
• Minimum Lot Overshoot Guard: Protects small accounts by skipping trades if the broker's minimum lot size would force the position to exceed your designated risk threshold.
• Dynamic Risk Sizing Modes: Risk Percentage of Balance, Risk Percentage of Equity, Risk Percentage of Free Margin, or Fixed Cash Amount per trade.
• Proportional Balance & Equity Scaling: Sizes positions dynamically according to the exact balance, equity, or free margin ratio between the follower and master accounts.
• Lot-per-Balance Allocations: Set dedicated lot increments per 1,000 units of balance or equity.
• Custom Lot Sequences & Arrays: Step through user-defined lot size arrays per symbol, fixed lots, multipliers, or symbol-specific volume overrides.
• Contract Size Auto-Normalization: Automatically detects and normalizes differences in contract specifications across brokers (e.g., standard vs. mini/micro lots).
• Dynamic Recovery Scaling: Optional lot multipliers on consecutive losses or wins, with automated reset thresholds.
• Trade Volume Splitting: Automatically splits oversized positions into multiple smaller tickets when volume exceeds broker maximums.
• Synthetic Index Lot Handling: Configure automated rules (ForceMinimum or SkipTrade) when calculated volume falls below broker minimums.

Prop Firm Challenge & Stealth Protection

• Prop Firm Drawdown Baselines: Track daily drawdown from Start of Day Equity, Start of Day Balance, or Trailing Daily Peak Equity (high-water mark trailing matching major funded challenge rules like Apex, Topstep, and MyFundedFX).
• Timezone Calibration: Adjust daily reset hours to match your prop firm's exact server timezone.
• Lot Size Randomization: Slightly varies copied lot sizes by a configurable percentage to prevent identical clone sizes across funded accounts and avoid algorithmic copy detection.
• Millisecond Time Randomizer: Introduces randomized micro-delays before copying so orders do not land at identical timestamps across accounts.
• Ghost Trailing (Stealth Stop Loss): Tracks trailing stops internally within cBot memory, closing trades locally without ever broadcasting Stop Loss levels to the broker. Includes a catastrophic server stop option to guard against power or internet loss.
• Stop-less Trade Shield: Option to automatically refuse to copy any master trade that does not carry a Stop Loss.

Order Lifecycle & Live Synchronization

• True Pending-to-Pending Execution: Copies Buy/Sell Limit, Stop, and Stop-Limit orders strictly as pending orders without converting them prematurely to market trades.
• Market Chase Prevention: If a master pending order fills before the receiver can place it, the follower does not chase the market with a delayed market order.
• Independent Break-Even Calculation: Receiver break-even triggers are calculated strictly from the receiver's own actual fill price, not the master's fill price. Includes profit buffers to lock in spreads and commissions.
• Live Modifications: Mirrors updates to SL, TP, entry prices, and order expirations in real time.
• Partial Close Synchronization: Flawlessly mirrors partial closes and multi-stage scale-outs across accounts.
• Scheduled Order Purge: Automatically delete untriggered pending orders at a scheduled time each day.
• Restore Absolute Stops on Fill: Restores exact price levels on pending order fills even during fast market slippage.
• Local State Reconnection: If cTrader or your computer restarts, the cBot automatically reconnects existing copied orders without opening duplicate trades.

Safety Filters & Broker Compatibility

• Daily Drawdown & Profit Limits: Automatically pauses copying if daily profit targets or maximum drawdown thresholds are reached.
• Emergency Equity Floor: Hard dollar limit that liquidates all open copied positions and stops copying if equity breaches your floor.
• Rollover Spread Spike Shield: Freezes new copy execution during broker midnight rollover windows to protect accounts from wide spreads.
• High-Impact News Blackout: Define specific time windows to pause trade copying around volatile news releases.
• Special Symbol Mapping: Translate custom symbol names across brokers (e.g., GOLD=XAUUSD, US30=DJ30) with automatic prefix and suffix detection.
• 24/7 Weekend Copying: Dedicated toggle to copy Cryptocurrencies and Deriv Synthetic Indices 24/7 over weekends.
• Anti-Hedging & FIFO Rules: Built-in settings for US/FIFO-regulated accounts to prevent opposite-direction trades on the same symbol.
• Magic Number Whitelist & Blacklist: Filter copies by specific EA magic numbers or manual trades.
• Stale Signal & Max Latency Rejection: Rejects orders if network delays exceed your maximum allowed latency in milliseconds.
• Basket Management: Manage portfolio-wide Take Profit, Stop Loss, Break-Even, and Trailing Stops in money, percentage, or average points.
• On-Chart HUD & Alerts: Draggable visual dashboard displaying live connection status, transmitter balance, and trade metrics, with optional email and push notifications.

Simple 2-Step Setup

1. On your Master account: Attach the cBot to any chart and set Role to Transmitter.
2. On your Follower account: Attach the cBot to any chart and set Role to Receiver.

Click Start on both. The copier links your accounts locally and begins copying immediately.
