Setup Master Account

- Run the EA and choose Master Mode
- The Master Account Number the EA is connected to
- Select Enable to switch ON copying
- Connected slave accounts. Here you will see the current slaves that are switched on.
Setup Slave Account
The Slave account should be set up after the master is connected.

General Settings
- Displays a list of master accounts
- Fixed Lots – If you want every trade to be copied using a fixed lot then check this option
- Lot multiplier – If a Lot multiplier is set to 1 this means the lot size will be copied exactly how it is in the Master Account. If this is set to 0.5 then lot size will be half of the Master Account. If it is set to 2 then lot size will be double the Master Account. If you have a 10k Master account and you are copying to a 1k Slave account, this is 10x smaller. So lot multiplier should be set to 0.1 to keep the same risk.
- Risk ($) – This is set by default. Sets the Risk % based on Balance of the Slave account
- Max Daily Loss – Includes closed trades and running open trades and can be set in % of account or Monetary value ($). Once this loss has been reached for the day all trades will be closed. No more trades will be copied to MatchTrader. Max Daily Loss is reset at the end of the trading day and is tied to broker time.
- Max Loss – Set a max loss based on a specific Equity or Balance. For example, Account Size = $50,000 and a Max Loss value = $45,000. When the account reaches $45,000 in equity or balance all trades will be closed
- Max Daily Profit – Includes closed trades and running open trades and can be set in % of account or Monetary value ($). Once this profit has been reached for the day all trades will be closed. No more trades will be copied to the Slave. Max Daily Profit is reset at the end of the trading day and is tied to broker time.
- Max Profit – Set a max profit based on a specific Equity or Balance. For example, Account Size = $50,000 and a Max Profit value = $55,000. When the Slave account reaches $55,000 in equity or balance all trades will be closed
- Max Loss Per Symbol – Set a max loss per Trade. If a trade reaches this value the trade will be closed
