cTrader to MT4 Trade Copier

A cTrader source account can drive MetaTrader 4 followers, and the naming work runs in the opposite direction to the MetaTrader-first case. Your source spells indices with spaces — US 500, GERMANY 40, JAPAN 225 — and each MT4 follower wants its own abbreviation, often with a broker decoration on top: US500, GER40, EURUSDm, XAUUSD.r. The compensation is that account mode is settled on the follower side. MT4 accounts behave as hedging, so once the names line up the follower repeats the source position for position, including partial closes. Currently demo accounts only on both platforms: prop-firm evaluation and funded accounts usually run on demo accounts — MetaTrader demo servers, or a cTrader demo account where the firm issues one — which is what Trepeat connects. Live real-capital accounts aren't supported.

An MT4 follower is always hedging

MT4 has no netting mode to discover after the fact, so every copy opens as its own position on the follower. Three source trades on one symbol means three follower positions, each closing with the source position it came from, and a partial close on the source repeats against that position rather than against the symbol as a whole, sized by the repeater's rule. A partial too small for the follower's minimum closes the whole copy.

Mapping from spaces to abbreviations

A repeater carries its own symbol remapping, so US 500 becomes whatever your MT4 broker calls it — US500, SPX500, or the same name with that broker's suffix attached. Trepeat proposes the match when you create the remapping, recognising both the cTrader spacing and MetaTrader decorations, and never applies one on its own.

When each symbol list becomes available

Both platforms read an account's symbol list when you add it, so remappings can usually be set straight away. If the target picker is still empty on a newly added MT4 follower, that read didn't come back; the list fills in once the account connects. Worth knowing before you conclude the remapping is broken.

Sign in with your cTrader ID

Connecting the source happens on cTrader's own authorisation screen, not in a form on ours, so Trepeat never sees or stores your cTrader password. One cTrader ID often covers several trading accounts: authorise once, then pick which of them to add. Each added account counts as one, exactly like a MetaTrader account.

Built for evaluation + funded accounts

Prop-firm evaluation and funded accounts usually run on demo accounts — MetaTrader demo servers, or a cTrader demo account where the firm issues one — which is exactly what Trepeat currently connects. Run your evaluations and funded accounts side by side, each repeater with its own sizing and symbol rules. A challenge placed on a live account can't be connected either way. We don't share data with prop firms or read their evaluation rules.
