MT5 to MT4 Trade Copier

Copying from MT5 to MT4 removes one variable and adds another. The follower side is settled: MT4 accounts are hedging, so every copy opens as its own position and a partial close on the source closes part of the copy, sized by the repeater's rule. The source side is where this direction differs from the reverse. An MT5 account can be netting, and a netting account only ever holds one position per symbol — so if you scale into a trade there, it reports a single merged position where a hedging account would have reported two, and the MT4 follower repeats the shape the source actually had rather than the trades you felt you placed. That divergence starts upstream, before Trepeat sees anything. Naming still needs attention in both directions: an MT5 broker may list instruments and decorations an MT4 broker spells differently, or does not carry at all. Evaluation and funded accounts usually run on MetaTrader demo servers, which is what Trepeat currently connects; live real-capital accounts aren't supported.

An MT4 follower is always hedging

MT4 does not offer netting, so the follower side of this pairing has no mode to check and no netting alert to receive. Each copy is its own position with its own ticket, a partial close is sized by the repeater's rule (one too small for the follower's minimum closes the whole copy), and a second copy on a symbol the account already holds opens alongside rather than merging into it.

A netting MT5 source changes the shape

Trepeat reads the source account's margin mode from the broker once it connects and flags a netting account on the Accounts page. If that source is netting, scaling into a symbol produces one position rather than two, and its close produces one event — so the MT4 follower ends up holding what the source held, which is not always what you intended to place. Worth knowing before the first copy, not after.

Instruments an MT4 broker may not carry

MT5 brokers commonly list instruments their MT4 offering does not, and spell shared ones differently. There is no pre-check for a symbol the follower does not carry: the order goes to the follower's broker, which refuses it, and Trepeat records a failed copy with the reason, alerts you, and suggests the follower's own name when it lists a match. Map the name once and every later fill uses it.

Symbol remapping

Brokers name the same instrument differently — EURUSD on one, EURUSD.r on another, EURUSDm on a third. Set a remap once and every later fill uses it. Point it at all followers, or at ONE named follower when two brokers disagree — which is the case an all-follower rule cannot express, because it can only offer a name every follower carries.

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.
