Introduction

Source accounts, follower accounts and repeaters — and why only demo accounts currently connect.

Trepeat repeats the trades of one broker account onto others. You trade as you normally would on one account; every other account you have linked receives the same trade, sized by rules you set.

The three things everything else refers to

Everything in Trepeat is described with three terms: source account, follower account and repeater.

  • Source account — the account you trade on. Trepeat watches it and copies from it.
  • Follower account — an account that receives copies. A repeater can have several.
  • Repeater — the link between them, and everything about how the copy is made: sizing, which symbols, what they are called on each follower. One source, any number of followers, one set of rules.

A repeater is either Running or Stopped. Nothing is copied until you press Run, and pressing Stop ends copying without closing anything.

It runs in the cloud, not on your machine

There is nothing to install — no Expert Advisor in your terminal, no plugin, no VPS to rent. Trepeat holds its own connection to each broker (directly on cTrader, through MetaApi on MetaTrader) and keeps copying whether or not your computer is on.

What Trepeat does not do

Trepeat places no trades of its own and makes no trading decisions. It repeats what you did, and nothing else. It never rewrites an instrument silently: where two brokers name the same instrument differently it suggests a remapping and waits for you to accept it.

Its automatic closes only ever touch its own copies. Flatten closes the source trade and every copy of it. Trades Trepeat isn't copying are never touched — a position you opened yourself on a follower account is outside every automatic close and outside Flatten.

Demo accounts only

Trepeat currently connects demo accounts, on both MetaTrader and cTrader. This is enforced in the database rather than only in the interface: a live account cannot be recorded as connected at all. Evaluation and funded accounts from proprietary trading firms generally run on demo accounts — a MetaTrader demo server, or a cTrader demo account where the firm issues one — which is what Trepeat connects.

Where to go next

Connect an account first — MetaTrader or cTrader — then build a repeater with Repeater settings. If you would rather follow a walkthrough than a reference, Help has the four-step version.
