How to Set Up Master-Child Auto Copy Trading on MT4/MT5 (Complete Guide)

Following is a guide that is very simple and simple to understand. The method is compatible with all popular trade copiers including Combiz MT4/MT5 Copier.

Step 1: Install Separate MT4/MT5 Terminals

To get started, you need to install a separate MT4/MT5 terminal for each account — one for the master and one for each child/client.

  • Install the terminal in a folder that is different from the others
  • Log in with your broker's credentials
  • Keep all terminals open while trading

Doing this allows for uninterrupted communication between the master and child accounts.

Step 2: Install the Trade Copier (EA)

Now each terminal has to be opened and the following steps need to be performed:

  • Open File → Open Data Folder
  • Open MQL4/MQL5 → Experts → Advisors
  • Here you need to place the copier EA files (Sender + Receiver EA)

After they are placed, you have to restart the MT4/MT5 terminals so that the EA shows up in your Experts list.

Step 3: Configure Terminal Settings

The EA must be allowed to run on every terminal:

Go to Tools → Options → Expert Advisors

Make the following changes:

  • Allow algorithmic trading
  •  Allow DLL imports

This way, the copying software can instantly communicate across terminals.

Step 4: Sender EA posits int the scheme of the Master Account 

In the main MT4/MT5 terminal:

  • Select any chart
  • Place the Sender EA on it
  • Decide on the Channel Name (Example: “Master123”)
  • Save and start the EA

The Sender's EA signals will be transmitted to the corresponding accounts.

Step 5: Receiver EA is installed on Every Child Account 

On each of the child’s MT4/MT5 terminal:

  • Select a graph
  • Move the Receiver EA
  • Type in the Channel Name you used in the master EA
  • Execute and initiate the EA

By this, every child account is linked directly to your master trading account.

Step 6: Conduct a Test Trade 

Now quietly test the main account with a small trade:

  • Buy or sell a stock
  • Verify whether the same transaction is shown on the subordinate accounts
  • Yes then → setup is successful
  • No then → try to open the Experts or Journal tab and check messages or errors
  • Check out the pricing details for copy trading
