Test Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© on MetaTrader demo accounts before purchasing.
Use the free demo to test a multi-account challenge-style setup, Receiver lot sizing, trade filters, broker symbol configuration and risk-management controls without using an active prop challenge account.
The demo is fully functional for up to 4 hours at a time and can be used on MetaTrader demo accounts only.
If you want to test an MT4 → MT5 or MT5 → MT4 configuration, use the corresponding MT4 and MT5 demo versions in their respective terminals.
All participating MetaTrader terminals must run on the same Windows computer or Windows VPS.
The free demo allows you to test the actual trade-copying workflow before using Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© with an active account.
Test trades between:
MT4 → MT4
MT5 → MT5
MT4 → MT5
MT5 → MT4
You can also test one Transmitter with multiple Receiver demo accounts.
Test different Receiver lot-sizing and risk-management methods, including:
Fixed lots
Lot multipliers
Balance/equity proportional sizing
Risk-based sizing
Minimum and maximum lot controls
Each Receiver can use its own configuration.
The trading signal can be identical. The financial exposure does not have to be.
Test how the Receiver handles:
Market trades
Pending orders
Stop Loss
Take Profit
Trade modifications
Full closures
Partial closures
Test Receiver filters such as:
Symbol
Magic number
Comment
Ticket
Buy/Sell direction
Trading days
Trading times
Test accounts that use different broker symbol names.
For example:
EURUSD → EURUSD
No suffix configuration is required.
EURUSD+ → EURUSD
Use:
Suffix of the Transmitter Account: +
EURUSD → EURUSD.r
Use:
Suffix of the Receiver Account: .r
EURUSDm → EURUSDm
Use both:
Suffix of the Transmitter Account: m
Suffix of the Receiver Account: m
For substantially different instrument names:
US500 → SPX500
use:
Special Symbol 1: US500,SPX500
Testing these configurations on demo accounts is especially useful when the intended challenge accounts use different brokers.
You can also test the Receiver's configurable risk-management and account-protection settings, including:
Daily drawdown controls
Daily profit controls
Equity/account protection
Copying suspension conditions
Trading days and times
These settings are technical risk-management tools. They do not guarantee compliance with a prop provider's own daily-loss or drawdown calculation.
Always verify the current rules and calculation methods of the provider separately.
In MetaTrader select:
File → Open Data Folder
For MT4, open:
MQL4 → Experts
For MT5, open:
MQL5 → Experts
Place the downloaded demo file inside the appropriate Experts folder.
Close and restart the MetaTrader terminal.
Local Trade Copier EA should then appear in the Navigator → Expert Advisors section.
Install the demo in every MetaTrader terminal that will participate in your test.
For a basic setup you need:
Terminal 1 = Transmitter demo account
Terminal 2 = Receiver demo account
For a multi-account challenge-style test, you can add additional Receiver demo terminals.
All participating terminals must run on the same Windows computer or Windows VPS.
Attach Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© to one chart in the source demo terminal.
Select:
Account Mode: Transmitter
Attach Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5© to one chart in the Receiver demo terminal.
Select:
Account Mode: Receiver
Enter the Transmitter account number in:
Transmitter Account Number
Choose the:
Lot Size Type
you want to test.
For the first test, keep the rest of the configuration simple unless your broker symbols require specific mapping.
Compare the exact Transmitter and Receiver symbol names.
Configure the required suffix or Special Symbol settings if the names differ.
Enable:
Auto Trading in MT4
or:
Algo Trading in MT5.
Open a trade on the Transmitter demo account.
Confirm that the corresponding trade appears on the Receiver.
Then close the Transmitter trade and confirm that the Receiver trade also closes.
Once basic copying works, test the settings you expect to use, such as:
Different Receiver lot sizes
Multiple Receiver accounts
Symbol mapping
Trade filters
Pending orders
TP/SL handling
Partial closures
Trading days and times
Receiver account protection
Test each important function separately so you can verify how the configuration behaves.
The free demo is fully functional for up to 4 hours at a time on demo accounts only.
To reset the demo period, in the MetaTrader demo terminal go to:
Tools → Global Variables
Then use:
Ctrl+A → Delete
After clearing the Global Variables, restart or reattach the demo as required.
Only perform this reset procedure in a non-essential demo terminal.
Deleting MetaTrader Global Variables can affect other Expert Advisors or systems that use them.
Do not perform this procedure on:
An active prop challenge account
An important live trading terminal
A MetaTrader installation containing Global Variables that you need to preserve
For this reason, we recommend testing the free demo in separate MetaTrader demo terminals.

The free demo allows you to test the technical configuration of Local Trade Copier EA MT4/5©.
It does not determine whether a particular trade-copying setup is permitted by a prop challenge provider.
Before using the copier with an active evaluation or funded account, verify the provider's current rules concerning:
Expert Advisors
Automated trading
Trade copying
Multiple accounts
Identical or synchronized trades
Third-party signals or strategies
Daily loss and maximum drawdown
Other prohibited or restricted trading practices
