cTrader to MT5 Trade Copier

A cTrader source account can drive MetaTrader 5 followers, and on this pairing the account worth inspecting is the follower. An MT5 account is hedging or netting, set when the broker created it, and there is a third mode — exchange — that cannot act as a follower at all, so Trepeat refuses it as a follower — at once if its mode is already known, otherwise the moment it first connects — rather than letting you discover it on a live trade. Names still need translating: US 500 and GERMANY 40 on the cTrader side, US500 and GER40 or #Germany40 on the MT5 side. 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.

The follower's mode decides the shape

On a hedging MT5 follower each copy is its own position and the copy is exact. On a netting one the broker keeps a single net position per symbol, so the second copy on that symbol merges into the first and one source position stops corresponding to one follower position — Trepeat alerts you at that moment, naming the symbol and the repeater. An exchange-mode account is refused as a follower: at once if its mode is already known, otherwise the moment it first connects.

Spaces translated to MetaTrader names

Your cTrader source lists US 500, US TECH 100, GERMANY 40 and JAPAN 225; your MT5 broker lists US500, USTEC, GER40 or #Germany40, frequently with its own suffix on top. A repeater-level symbol remap translates the name before each fill is submitted, and Trepeat proposes the match when you create the remapping instead of guessing at fill time.

Snapped to the MT5 follower's step, capped by its ceiling

Each MT5 symbol carries its own minimum, step and per-order maximum, and Trepeat reads them from the follower's broker. A copy is snapped to the step, skipped if it falls under the minimum, and when the broker's own ceiling actually binds the order is placed at that ceiling and you are told the size your settings had asked for — so an under-exposed follower is never silent.

Deposit currency matters for equity-ratio sizing

Equity-ratio sizing divides the follower's equity by the source's, which only means something when both are in the same currency — EUR 1,000 against USD 199,735 is not the ratio it looks like. When the two accounts report different known currencies Trepeat falls back to your multiplier rather than inventing an exchange rate on a risk control.

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.
