How the TradinSolutions hosted copier moves your own trades, Telegram and Discord calls, and TradingView alerts across five platforms, with per-account sizing and prop-firm limits checked first.
By E.A. Victor, founder of TradinSolutions. Victor builds MetaTrader tools and publishes them on the MQL5 marketplace as victorayegba, where the reviews are public. The TradinSolutions copier started as the fix for his own funded accounts drifting apart.
Short answer: the TradinSolutions trade copier watches one trading account, or a Telegram channel, Discord channel or TradingView alert, and places the same trade on your other accounts. It works across MT4, MT5, cTrader, Tradovate and NinjaTrader, in any direction. It runs on hosted infrastructure, so nothing stays switched on at your end. Each destination sizes the trade from its own balance and checks its own risk limits before the order goes out.
A trade copier watches one trading account and reproduces its trades on others. When the watched account's order fills, the copier works out the equivalent position for each receiving account, places it, and then mirrors every close and modification after that.
TradinSolutions calls the watched account the Provider and each receiving account a Follower. These replace the older "master and slave" terms. The copier carries decisions you have already made. It doesn't generate trades, and TradinSolutions doesn't sell signals or manage accounts.
Every copied trade passes through four stages:
Five platforms, as a source or as a destination, in any combination:
Three signal sources feed the same engine: Telegram, Discord and TradingView alerts through a webhook.
One Provider can drive Followers on several platforms at once. An MT5 account copying to an MT4 account and a cTrader account in the same instance is the ordinary case, not a special one.
Yes. Roles belong to the instance (one configured copy setup), not to the account. An account can receive trades from one Provider and drive its own Followers in another instance. That makes chains possible: a personal account drives two funded accounts, and one of those drives a futures account. Within a single instance, an account holds one role.
No. The relay that reads a Provider's fill and places each Follower's order runs on TradinSolutions' hosted infrastructure, not inside your terminal. You can close the laptop and copying continues.
This is the main difference from a terminal copier, an Expert Advisor running inside MetaTrader. A terminal copier only works while the terminal is open, usually on a rented Windows VPS, and it can stop without telling you. A hosted relay removes that dependency. An instance that isn't running shows as stopped in the Cockpit rather than failing silently.
Each Follower works out its own size. With risk-based sizing, the default and the safest starting point for prop-firm accounts, the size comes from three things:
That way a €10,000 account and a €100,000 account both take, say, 1% risk on the same trade. Sizes round down, and anything below the broker's minimum lot is skipped and logged rather than rounded up.
The other sizing modes:
For signals, size comes from your risk settings, never from the lot size the channel posted. A channel's "0.50 lots" on gold with a $6 stop is about 3% risk on a $10,000 account and 0.6% on $50,000. That gap is exactly what per-account sizing removes.
Each destination carries its own limits, checked before its order is sent:
When one account would breach a limit, that account is held and the reason is written into the Cockpit. The other accounts carry on. Set each limit below your firm's own figure, so open positions have room to close and your count matches the way your firm counts.
No tool can make you compliant, and TradinSolutions doesn't claim to. What the copier does is make compliance possible: sizing per account, limits per account, and a complete record of every trade with its reason. Firms don't detect copying by the software. They see near-identical timestamps, proportional sizes and matching stops in their own data. Read your firm's current terms before connecting a funded account, and ask them in writing when a clause is unclear. TradinSolutions has no features for hiding copied trades from the firm funding an account.
You connect the channel you already follow, choose which account or accounts it trades on, and set your risk rules. From then on:
Per-destination settings include risk % or fixed size, a single entry or entries split across targets, a symbol whitelist, a session window, a duplicate-signal window, a news pause, and circuit breakers for maximum trades per day, maximum daily loss and a drawdown pause.
By default, a signal's entry price is treated as a reference and executed at market. If a call names a level the market hasn't reached, it can instead be placed as a real working order that waits for the price or expires.
Two things to know first. TradinSolutions doesn't run, vet or recommend any channel; the relationship with the channel is yours. And automating a personal Telegram or Discord account is against those platforms' terms of service, so connect with that in mind.
Yes. TradingView has no trading connection of its own for these brokers, so a webhook bridges the gap:
Pine Script alerts work, from an indicator's condition or a strategy's order fills. A close alert closes what is open on that instrument and cancels any working entry order for it. Alerts can trade any of the five platforms. Webhooks need a paid TradingView plan, and TradinSolutions isn't affiliated with TradingView.
Yes, with a contract mapping rule that you write once per destination. A rule can pin a specific contract month, or follow the front month and re-check it on a schedule so it moves with the quarterly roll. Standard ratios are built in, such as ten micros per mini on ES, NQ, YM, RTY, GC, HG, CL and the currency futures. Micros are usually the right choice for retail sizes, because futures trade in whole contracts.
By default the stop and target stay with the Provider, and the futures copy follows its close, because CFD and futures prices for the same market differ. Trades with no mapping are skipped and logged, never guessed. The copier doesn't roll open positions for you. Rolling means a new trade at a new price, so that stays your decision.
One limit sits outside TradinSolutions: Tradovate states that prop-firm and evaluation accounts aren't eligible for its API. No third-party tool can connect them, so check before buying a futures challenge you plan to automate.
TradinSolutions doesn't advertise a single speed figure. The relay time of every copied trade, from seeing the source trade to sending the order, is measured and shown next to that trade in the Cockpit. You read the number for your own accounts, not an average.
Most of the time in a copied trade sits with the brokers, not the copier: the Provider's broker reporting the fill, and the Follower's broker filling the copy. Slippage matters more than milliseconds, so the useful test is to pair Provider and Follower fills over at least 50 trades on a demo account and look at the median and the worst case. How to measure copier latency yourself
A missed trade is recorded as held or skipped, with its reason, and is never replayed later at a price that no longer reflects the decision. Typical reasons: a risk limit, a symbol the broker doesn't list, an unmapped futures contract, a size below the broker's minimum, a session window, or a dropped connection.
If TradinSolutions itself is unavailable, open positions stay open at your broker with their own stops and targets. Nothing is closed because the service is down. New copying pauses, and each Provider trade missed in that time is logged as a skip.
Manual changes are respected. Closing a trade on the Provider closes the copies. Closing one Follower's position by hand closes only that one, and the copier won't reopen it. Partial closes on the Provider are mirrored proportionally where the platform allows.
TradinSolutions is based in Groningen, the Netherlands, and GDPR applies to the data it holds. How linking accounts works, platform by platform
The free tier doesn't include copying. The signal copier and cTrader copying start on Starter, and hosted MT4 and MT5 copying on Pro. Hedge raises every limit and adds custom builds. Every paid tier has a 7-day free trial, and account limits are set per tier with no extra fee per connected account. The pricing page shows current prices and limits.
Start on a demo account. Every supported platform offers one, and a demo runs the whole path: authorisation, symbol mapping, sizing, the first copied trade and the skip log. Run it through a volatile session, not just a quiet morning, because that's when configuration mistakes show up.
Is TradinSolutions a signal service? No. It executes decisions you make or calls from channels you choose. It doesn't sell signals, manage accounts or give investment advice.
Can I copy trades from MT5 to cTrader? Yes. Any of the five platforms can copy to any other, in either direction.
Will a trade copier get my prop account banned? Not by itself. What matters is what your firm's terms allow. Many firms allow copying between accounts you own, with conditions. Copying someone else's trades into a funded account is often restricted.
Can I test it without risking money? Yes. Connect demo accounts. They run the full copy path at no risk, and every paid tier has a 7-day free trial.
What if a signal message is unclear? It's held and shown to you with what was and wasn't understood. Nothing is traded on a guess.
Does it work while my computer is off? Yes. The relay is hosted, so nothing needs to run on your machine.
