Copy Trading Script

This Python script facilitates copy trading between two MetaTrader 5 accounts. Any trade placed on account 1 will be automatically copied to account 2. Similarly, when a trade is closed on account 1, it will also be closed on account 2.

Warning

Please be aware that this script does not guarantee the successful execution of copied trades. You must test it thoroughly with a demo account before using it on a live account. I am not responsible for any potential losses or damages resulting from the use of this script.

Features

• Trade Mirroring: Automatically copies trades from account 1 to account 2.
• Selective Trade Copying: Trades are only copied if both stop loss and take profit are set.
• Real-time Synchronization: Trades are mirrored in real-time, ensuring that account 2 reflects the actions taken on account 1.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• MetaTrader 5 installed
• In MetaTrader 5 => Options => Expert Advisors, only Allow algorithmic trading and Allow DLL imports should be checked!

Installation

Windows

1. Download and install Python from the official website.
2. Add Python to your system PATH during the installation.

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt install python3 python3-pip

Mac

1. Download and install Python from the official website.
2. Alternatively, you can use Homebrew:

   pip install MetaTrader5

2. Uninstall numpy and install a compatible version:

   pip uninstall numpy
   pip install numpy==1.26.4

Configuration

1. After the first execution of the script, fill in the accounts.json file with the credentials of both MetaTrader 5 accounts:

   {
     "account_1": {
       "login": "your_login",
       "password": "your_password",
       "server": "your_server"
     },
     "account_2": {
       "login": "your_login",
       "password": "your_password",
       "server": "your_server"
     }
   }

2. Save the accounts.json file.

Usage

• Trades without stop loss and take profit will not be copied.

Desired Features
