Input Settings

FRZ Local Trade Copier User Inputs

No. Setting Explanation & Detailed Examples
1 Account Type (Master/Copy) Select Master for the account sending trades, or Copy for the account receiving trades.
Settings for the Copy Account
2 Volume Multiplier Multiplies master trade lot sizes by this factor (e.g., 1.0 = 1:1 lot ratio, 2.0 = double lot size).
3 Forced Volume If set above 0.0, forces all copied trades to use this exact lot size regardless of master volume.
4 Max Price Difference (Pips) Maximum allowed price slippage in pips between master and copy entry prices. Trades exceeding this limit are skipped.
5 Symbol Prefix on Copy Account Purpose: Used when the copy broker adds a prefix before symbol names.
How it works: The EA strips any master-side prefix/suffix, extracts the canonical base symbol (e.g., EURUSD), and attaches this prefix to find the matching symbol on the copy account.
Example:

  • Master symbol: EURUSD
  • Copy broker symbol: fx_EURUSD
  • Setting value: Enter fx_ in this input.
6 Symbol Suffix on Copy Account Purpose: Used when the copy broker adds a suffix after symbol names.
How it works: The EA extracts the base symbol from the master trade and appends this suffix on the copy account. Note: The EA also features Smart Resolution, so standard suffixes (e.g., .pro, .cent, ecn) are matched automatically even if left blank.
Example:

  • Master symbol: EURUSD or EURUSD.raw
  • Copy broker symbol: EURUSD.cent or EURUSDecn
  • Setting value: Enter .cent or ecn in this input.
7 Custom Symbol Mapping Purpose: Used when symbol names on master and copy accounts are completely different and cannot be matched by prefix or suffix alone.
Format: Enter comma-separated key=value pairs in the format MASTER_SYMBOL=COPY_SYMBOL. Manual mapping entries always take highest priority over automatic matching.
Examples:

  • Gold Pair Mapping: Master uses GOLD and Copy account uses XAUUSD.cent → Enter GOLD=XAUUSD.cent
  • Indices Mapping: Master uses Dow and Copy account uses US30 → Enter Dow=US30
  • Multiple Pairs Mapping: To map multiple pairs at once, separate each pair with a comma:
    GOLD=XAUUSD,Dow=US30,US500=SPX500,GER30=DE30
Pro Version Features (Available in Pro Version)
8 Per Balance Volume Calculates lot size based on copy account balance (e.g., setting 1000 opens 0.01 lot per $1,000 balance).
9 Copy Pending Orders Enables copying of pending orders (Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Stop).
10 Ignore Stop Loss/Take Profit If enabled, copied trades open without Stop Loss or Take Profit levels.
11 Reverse the Trades Reverses trade direction on copy account (Buys become Sells, Sells become Buys).
General Settings
12 Magic Number Unique identification number assigned to copied trades on the copy account.

Set Files

FRZ Local Trade Copier does not use .set files. Most settings (volume multipliers, symbol mappings, slippage limits, etc.) are dynamic and adapt to your specific account environment, so a fixed .set file would not reflect the correct values for your setup. Use the Input Settings table above as your starting configuration instead.

Troubleshooting

Issue What to Check
Trades are not copying to receiver account 1. Ensure Master EA is set to Master role and Copy EA is set to Copy role.
2. Confirm AutoTrading / Algo Trading is enabled on both platforms.
3. Verify that both MetaTrader platforms are running on the same PC or VPS.
4. Check that symbols match or suffix/prefix/custom mapping is configured correctly.
Error: Symbol is not in Market Watch Open the Market Watch window (Ctrl+M) on the copy account and ensure the target symbol is visible and enabled for trading.
Trades rejected due to slippage limit The price moved beyond Max Price Difference (Pips) before execution. Increase the pips limit or check network latency between platforms.
MT5 initialization failed Confirm that the MT5 account type is Hedging. Netting accounts are not supported.
Pro version fails license check Ensure https://frzserver.com is added under Tools > Options > Expert Advisors > Allow WebRequest.
