Copier Configuration
When creating a template in TraderPilot, you can fine-tune exactly how trades are copied from the master account to the slave. This guide covers every available setting.
After configuring your template, place a test trade using a pending order set at a price that won't trigger. This lets you verify your settings without taking a real trade.
Basic Settings
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Template Name | Text | A display name to identify this template. |
| Max Trades | Number | The maximum number of open trades allowed at any time. Leave empty for no limit. |
| Copy Type | Dropdown | Determines which type of copying this template applies to — Signal Copy, Trade Copy, or Both. |
Copy Settings
Copy Settings are only available when Copy Type is set to Trade Copy or Both.
Checkboxes
Strict Close
Controls how the copier handles full trade closures on the slave account.
- Enabled — The copier will perform a full close on the slave when the master closes.
- Disabled — The copier will skip the full close operation entirely.
Reverse Trade
When enabled, the copier opens the opposite direction of every master trade — a master BUY becomes a slave SELL, and vice versa.
Reverse Trade cannot be used alongside Copy SL or Copy TP. The SL/TP values would be invalid for the reversed direction. Instead, set an SL and TP on the master — the slave will close as a market order once those levels are hit on the master.
Dropdowns & Fields
| Field | Options | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Copy SL/TP Mode | SL, TP, Both | Determines whether the Stop Loss, Take Profit, or both are copied to the slave account. Automatically set to None when Reverse Trade is enabled. |
| Trade Direction | Buy, Sell, Both | Restricts which trade directions are copied. For example, selecting Buy means only BUY trades from the master will be copied. |
| Min Lot Size | Number | Trades below this lot size will not be copied. |
| Max Lot Size | Number | Trades above this lot size will not be copied. |
Breakeven
Breakeven automatically moves the Stop Loss to a specified level once the trade reaches a defined profit threshold.
Breakeven is not supported on cTrader and will not function on accounts connected through that platform.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable Breakeven | Toggles the breakeven feature on or off. |
| Trigger Points on Profit | The profit level (in points) at which the Stop Loss is moved to breakeven. |
Signal Copier Config
Signal Copier Config is only visible when Copy Type is set to Signal Copy or Both.
This section controls how trades are opened when copying from a Telegram signal source.
Lot Sizes
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Default Buy Lot Size | The lot size used for all BUY signals. Required when Partial Close is enabled. |
| Default Sell Lot Size | The lot size used for all SELL signals. Required when Partial Close is enabled. |
Applicable Take Profits
Defines which Take Profit targets from the signal are acted on. When multiple TPs are selected, TraderPilot opens a separate order for each TP, each with its own take-profit target.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| TP1 | Always enabled. The first take-profit target is always applied. |
| TP2 | Optional. Enables a second order targeting TP2. |
| TP3 | Optional. Enables a third order targeting TP3. |
Risk Management
Copy trading, futures trading, and forex trading involve significant risk and are not suitable for every investor. You may lose some, all, or more than your initial investment. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
Risk Management controls how the slave account's lot size is calculated for each copied trade. This field is optional — if no risk type is selected, the trade is copied at the same lot size as the master.
The available risk types depend on your selected Copy Type:
| Risk Type | Signal Copy | Trade Copy | Both |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed % Risk | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Fixed Lot | ❌ | ✅ | ❌ |
| Lot Size Multiplier | ❌ | ✅ | ❌ |
Fixed % Risk
Available for: Signal Copy, Trade Copy, Both
The lot size is calculated automatically based on a percentage of your slave account equity and the master trade's Stop Loss distance.
If Fixed % Risk is enabled and the master trade has no Stop Loss, the trade will be skipped entirely.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Risk Percentage (%) | The percentage of your slave account equity to risk per trade. |
Example: With a $10,000 account and a risk percentage of 1%, each trade risks $100. The lot size is adjusted automatically to match that dollar risk based on the SL distance.
Fixed Lot
Available for: Trade Copy only
Every copied trade opens at the same lot size on the slave account, regardless of the master lot size, account balance, or SL distance.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Fixed Lot Size | The lot size applied to every copied trade. |
Example: If Fixed Lot is set to 0.10, every trade opens at 0.10 lots on the slave — no matter what the master trades.
Lot Size Multiplier
Available for: Trade Copy only
The slave lot size is derived from the master lot size, scaled by a percentage multiplier.
Formula: Slave Lot = Master Lot × (Multiplier / 100)
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Multiplier (%) | The percentage of the master lot size to apply on the slave. |
| Multiplier | Master Lot | Slave Lot |
|---|---|---|
50% | 10.00 | 5.00 |
100% | 10.00 | 10.00 |
150% | 10.00 | 15.00 |
