When you finally reach consistency and profitability in trading, there’s a lot you can do with your trades. Whether this includes getting funded accounts, selling signals, trading for family or just having different accounts on different risk perimeters, copying your trades onto different accounts is a very handy thing to do.
Manually logging into 5 different accounts, working out the lot sizes, then executing all of these trades is going to take you way too long to do, especially for intraday traders – this is where trade copiers come in.
In this article we are going to look at the best 4 forex trade copying solutions in the market, the pros, cons and my experience with these tools over the last few years. As of 2023, I’m still using these tools in my own trading! Let’s get into it…

What Is Forex Trade Copying Software?
Forex trade copying software is used to copy the trades from a Master MT4/MT5 Account, to other accounts linked to that one account. MetaTrader has a huge amount of amazing features but sadly there isn’t any real functionality to copy trades, without using a third party EA or software, which is where our list comes in!
I’ve personally used a trade copier for the last 6 years and found it extremely useful for a number of different reasons. The main users of trade copiers are:
Retail Forex Traders
Some forex traders like to copy their trades onto other accounts, with different risk settings. I used to have a Master Account and the trades would be sent to a higher risk account with less capital, trading at a much higher risk per trade. This can be a great way to diversify risk and spread your portfolio more than just on the one trading account.
Funded Traders
Most of the Best Prop Firms
Signal Sellers
Traders selling signals and account management often use a forex trade copier to copy their trades onto the accounts of their subscribers. This has to be done extremely carefully as there can be legal implications of trading other peoples money, so please do your due diligence if you’re thinking of starting a signal service.
1. LocalTradeCopier


LocalTradeCopier
I have actually got a full review of LocalTradeCopier here
LTC allows you to copy trades from unlimited master accounts, to unlimited client accounts on MT4. Your license can be transferred to another machine if needed, but I would highly recommend running this EA on a ForexVPS
For the monthly package, you’re going to be paying around $20 per month for the basic package and of course more for the more advanced packages (I personally use the basic).
LocalTradeCopier has hundreds of excellent reviews across ForexPeaceArmy
2. Forex Copier


Forex Copier 3
Over the last 11 years they have helped copy over 5,000,000 trades across 122 countries and with over 10,000 clients! I would highly recommend setting with copier up on a dedicated VPS like ForexVPS
3. Duplikium


Duplikium
This solution allows traders to copy trades without having an EA running, a VPS running or even anything on their phones – it’s all handled automatically on their servers and it only takes a few minutes to get setup.
The main perk of Duplikium is the fact that it works cross platform. This means you can copy trades from MT4 to other platforms like cTrader
This copier comes with a free package, or the most popular option is a $20 per month package, suitable for the majority of traders.
4. 4XSolutions


4XSolutions
The company is even used and trusted by IC Markets

Setting Up Your Forex Trade Copier


When you add multiple accounts to a trade copier, you want it to be running constantly. If the trade copier goes down or turns off when you’re managing risk on the master account, the other copier accounts may not be connected and the trades could not be updated – causing a huge issue for traders.
This can be avoided by setting the trade copier up on a VPS with guaranteed up time!
I personally have used ForexVPS
ForexVPS is also a great idea if you have a Mac and struggle to get MT4 on there, you can purchase a VPS, use Remote Desktop on Mac to access it and trade until your hearts content!
In Summary
