KopierMaschine
KopierMaschine (Copy Machine) is a trade copying utility EA that replicates trades from a source account or symbol to one or more destination accounts/symbols. It functions as a signal copier rather than an autonomous trading strategy, handling both local and remote trade duplication with configurable lot scaling and filtering options.

Strategy analysis
This EA is not an autonomous trading strategy but a trade copying utility. Its core function is to monitor trading activity on a source account (opening, closing, modifying stops and take-profits) and then synchronously replicate these operations to destination accounts. Entry and exit conditions depend entirely on the source account's actions; the EA itself generates no trading signals. Position sizing is handled through a lot scaling factor, which adjusts the copied lot size proportionally based on the destination account's balance relative to the source. Money management relies on the source account's risk controls, as the EA is solely responsible for faithfully replicating trade actions. This tool is suitable for scenarios requiring trade synchronization across multiple accounts, such as money managers copying strategies across client accounts.
Strengths
- Efficiently synchronizes trades across multiple accounts, ideal for money managers
- Lot scaling feature allows flexible position adjustment based on destination account size
- Reverse copy mode provides additional flexibility for trade copying strategies
Weaknesses
- As a copying tool, it generates no trading signals and relies entirely on source account trade quality
- Lacks robust error handling and retry mechanisms for copy failures
- No built-in risk checks may attempt to copy trades even when destination account has insufficient funds
Possible improvements
- Add retry mechanism and detailed logging for copy failures
- Implement destination account sufficiency checks to prevent copy failures due to insufficient funds
- Add trade filtering capabilities, such as filtering by symbol, direction, or lot size
Risk assessment
Overall risk: Safe
- Copy latency may cause destination account fill prices to differ from the source account
- If the source account uses high-frequency strategies, copying may not keep pace, leading to excessive slippage
