How to connect your MT4 or cTrader account.
Risk Warning: Investing in the foreign exchange (Forex) market, alternative investments, and other leveraged
asset classes carries a high level of risk, and may not be suitable for all types of investors. Before
deciding to invest in any type of alternative investment, you should carefully consider your
investment objectives, length of investment and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could
sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money
that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign
exchange trading, and seek advice from an independent financial advisor, who is familiar with
these types of trading if you have any doubts.
Trading in these markets is speculative and may involve loss of principal; therefore funds placed
under management should be risk capital funds that if lost will not significantly affect one's
personal or financial well-being. This is not a solicitation to invest and you should carefully
consider your financial condition as to the suitability to your situation prior to making any
investment or entering into any transaction. Effects of Leveraged Trading: Spot Forex
Transactions carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value
of the Spot FOREX Contract so that transactions are "leveraged" or "geared". As an example, a
margin deposit of $2,000 can control a market value of approximately up to $100,000. A
relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have
deposited or will have to deposit; this may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a
total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the firm to maintain your
position.
Given the possibility of losing a substantial investment, trading funds should only consist of risk
capital or funds that an individual or an institution can afford to lose. We assume no responsibility
for errors or inaccuracies in these materials. We do not warrant the accuracy or completeness of

Thank you for following our signals using our Trade Copier!
This manual will guide you through the process of configuring your signal and setting up your MT4
terminal with the trade copier software, to follow your chosen signal provider.
Subscribing to a signal
Once you have subscribed to your signal through PayPal. You should receive an email with further
instructions. Please check your Spam folder. Use your credentials to login to your copier control panel.
Understanding Control Panel
The Control Panel has been designed to work on any internet enabled device allowing
you to control your signal account from anywhere with an internet connection! This manual is based on a PC 'normal' layout. If you are on a smart phone or tablet you will have
to toggle the menus off and on, from top of the relevant screen. The content is the same on all
devices but it will be reorganised depending on the width of the device. If you are on a smaller
device please make sure to scroll down the complete page if you do not see the options referred
to in this manual. Dashboard Once you log into your Control Panel, you will be presented with the Dashboard. At this point
notice the Live Help option on the right hand side.
This link can be accessed from any page in the Control Panel and it will contain common questions
relating to the page you are on as well as access to our 24hr live support centre. If you get
stuck please use it!
4
Navigation Menu
The control panel consists of 2 main menus. On the left hand menu you can buy signals to run on
your account as well as other add on services.
The right hand menu is the main navigation menu for the control panel and is used for configuring
and administering your existing signals and copier account.
At this point, note your UID (User ID). It is required when configuring the Expert Advisor to
connect to your signal.
Your account User ID Logout of Control Panel
5
Step 1- Signal Configuration From the main navigation menu click on My Signals.
Your signal will be listed under Signals Requiring Configuration. Note the Signal name (highlighted below) is a link to the signal account page. This page contains
the signal account information including balance, growth, open trades, trade history, lot size used
and more. You need to know what lot size the signal trades on average and the account balance when setting
up your Risk settings later, so remember to visit this link when required.
Click on the Manage button to launch the options.
Allows you to edit the trade copier settings such
as lot sizing and slippage values.
Shows history of PayPal transactions and payment
information relating to the signal.
This allows you to transfer your license to another
user account.
Cancel your subscription with PayPal.
Remove the signal from your My Signals list.
6
Step 2 – Edit Signal Settings From the manage menu, click on Edit Signal Settings.
You will now be on the Account Settings page. Note the multiple tabs below:
Account Settings
Risk/Money Management
Advanced Settings
Disable Pairs
Currency Mapping
Connection Method – This is Expert Advisor by default. If you have purchased managed
hosting you need to select it form the drop down.
Account Number – Your MT4 account number.
Broker – This will be auto-detected and updated with your broker when the EA first
contacts our servers.
Alert By Email if Signal Disconnects – When ticked, this will generate an email alerting
you to any disconnection of your trade copier.
SMS Alerts – If ticked, an SMS will be sent depending on your notification settings. You
can elect to receive an SMS if your MT4 account disconnects, if the master account opens
or closes a trade and if a designated price level is reached on a nominated currency pair.
More information on setting up SMS alerts can be found at the end of the manual.
Disable Signal – If you need to stop the trade copier click the check box. Any open trades
will be left unmanaged once disconnected. To enable again just remove the tick from the
box.
7
Risk/Money Management Tab Risk or Money management is an important section to configure but even more important to
understand as it is used to calculate the Trade Size for your account. You need to be sure you
have it set correctly before you commence following a Signal.
Money Management – You have 4 options, Risk Multiplier (by balance or equity), Lot
Multiplier or Fixed Lot. Risk Multiplier by equity is set by default but can be changed from
the dropdown.
Your Account Currency – When copying a signal that uses a master account with a
different base currency to you it’s important to take the differing lot values into account.
Multiplier – This is a value used to increase or decreases the Money Management Method
by a multiple. It is 1 by default but can be any number. Decimal numbers are also valid for
example, 0.5 for half risk.
Money Calculator – This helps you work out trade sizing on your account based on the
last 10 trades.
Note: Our copier treats lot sizes as unit amounts. It DOES NOT detect the value of the
lot. This is important to understand as some brokers use account types that have different values
attached to the 'normal' lot value.
Examples of this would be mini or spread betting accounts. You need to consider this in your
calculation. If your signal provider account or your account is not a 'normal' account, be sure to
compensate for the difference in the settings. If in any doubt please contact your signal provider.
8
1. Risk Multiplier by account equity Risk multiplier considers the equity of the signal provider account and your account and calculates
trade sizes based on a percentage risk accordingly.
The calculation for the Risk Multiplier by account equity is:
(User Multiplier * Master Lot Size) / (Master Equity / Slave Equity) = Your Lot Size
Examples
Scenario 1
Your equity 2,500
Signal equity 10,000
Multiplier 1
Signal Lot Size 2 Lots (1 x 2) ÷ (10,000÷2500) = 0.50 Your Lot Size
Scenario 2
Your equity 20,000
Signal equity 500
Multiplier 3
Signal Lot Size 0.01 Lots (3 x 0.01) ÷ (500÷20,000) = 1.20 Your Lot Size Scenario 3
Your equity 1,000
Signal equity 20,000
Multiplier 0.4
Signal Lot Size 1 Lots (0.4 x 1) ÷ (20,000÷1000)= 0.02 Your Lot Size 2. Risk Multiplier by account balance (default) Risk multiplier by account balance is the same calculation except the balance is used instead of
equity.
The maths used for the calculation of Risk Multiplier by account balance is:
(User Multiplier * Master Lot Size) / (Master Balance / Slave Balance) = Your Lot Size
9
3. Lot Multiplier
Lot multiplier is an option that ignores the balance/equity of both the signal provider and your
account. It only considers the signal providers lot size. The multiplier is used to increase or
decrease the resulting trade compared to the signal provider lot size.
The maths used for the calculation of Lot Multiplier is:
Multiplier x Signal Lot size = Your Lot Size
Examples
Scenario 1
Your balance 2,500
Signal equity 10,000
Multiplier 1
Signal Lot Size 2 Lots 1 x 2 = 2.00 Your Lot Size
Scenario 2
Your balance 20,000
Signal 500
Multiplier 3
Signal Lot Size 0.01 Lots 3 x 0.01 = 0.03 Your Lot Size
If you replace the values in the examples with the signal balance/equity, your own
balance/equity and multiplier. You can enter them into a calculator in the order they are
shown and you will be able to work out Your Lot Size.
4. Fixed Lot
Fixed Lot is the simplest method to define your lot size. If you want every trade to be the same
size, use the Fixed Lot option. When you select Fixed Lot from the dropdown the multiplier option
will change to Enter your Fixed Lot. Enter the lot size you want for all trades from this signal.
Note: If the signal provider completes a partial close on a position, your entire position will be
closed.
10
Max Lot and Max % Drawdown
These are optional protective measures. You can chose to not use one or both by entering zero as
a value.
Max Lot – Is a protective ceiling for your accounts lot sizes. Your account will always calculate its
trade size based on the Money Management defined.
If the signal provider was to take an abnormally large trade size your account would always try to
take the equivalent trade based on the Money Management settings described before. To avoid
this you can set a Max Lot value.
For example, if you set Max Lot to 1.00 and your account was sent a trade size of 2 Lots based on
the Money Management settings. Your account would only open a trade size of 1.00 Lot as this is
the largest allowable trade size.
Max % Drawdown Allowed – Is a protective safety net to avoid your account going into an
excessive Drawdown due to the Signal. The Drawdown value is a percentage of the current equity
in comparison to the overall balance. For example, if you had Max Drawdown set to 10
Your current balance is $10,000
You have 2 open trades
EURUSD which is currently -$600
GBPUSD which is currently -$400
The equity of your account will show $9,000
This is a drawdown of 10% as the equity is 90% of the balance
(9,000 ÷ 10,000 x 100) = 90%
Our software will recognise that it has passed its Max Allowed Drawdown and it will close the 2
trades automatically on your account. The trade may still be open on the signal providers account
but your account will ignore it as a valid signal.
11
Advanced Settings
Max Slippage – Slippage is set to 3 by default. Slippage is the difference between the
price on the signal account and the current price on your account. An example if set to
default (3) - If the master account’s trade opens and your account’s price is beyond 3 pips
from the master accounts entry price, your account will not execute the trade. It will wait
until your accounts price has returned to within 3 pips of original entry price on the master
account. Your account will wait indefinitely for this to happen until the master accounts
trade closes.
Copy Take Profit – If “yes” is selected, your account will copy the Take Profit (TP) of the
signal provider account. If not, your trade will not have a fixed TP set on your account.
When a trade is closed on the master account account, your trade will always close (if your
copier is connected) regardless of the option selected, therefore copying the TP is optional.
Copy Stop Loss - If “yes” is selected, your account will copy the Stop Loss (SL) of the
signal provider account. If not, your trade will not have a fixed SL set on your account.
When a trade is closed on the master account account, your trade will always close (if your
copier is connected) regardless of the option selected, therefore copying the SL is optional.
Trade Comment – This is optional. You can enter a descriptive name here to identify the
trades that were copied to your account if running multiple signals. This will enter the text
onto the Trade Comment field in your MT4 account. You can see this in your MT4 terminal
in the Trade and Account History section (You may need to turn on the Comment field by
right clicking and selecting “Comment”).
Single Trade – This will limit your account from taking more than one trade per currency
pair at a time. It is a workaround to make a signal FIFO compliant for US clients.
Disable Fast Stats – Fast Stats are enabled by default. For information on Fast Stats and
why you may want them disabled, click on the Read More link beside Fast Stats.
My Notes – This is optional. You can use this section to make any notes about your signal
or configuration as a personal reminder.
12
Disable Pairs Tab From this tab you have the ability to disable one or multiple pairs for your account. By disabling a
pair, your account will ignore all trades on the disabled pair traded on the master account.
To disable – Check the pair(s) you wish to disable.
In the example we have selected AUDCAD and AUDNZD.
Should you wish to remove all the selected pairs you need to first click “none” at the bottom of
the list then deselect every checked pair.
13
Currency Mapping Tab From this tab you can map pairs that differ between brokers. Not all brokers use the same label
for each pair, this is especially true for Commodities and Indexes.
A common example of this would be Gold. Some brokers quote Gold as 'XUAUSD' while other
brokers simply quote it as 'GOLD'.
If you are using a different broker than your signal provider, you will need to pay attention to this
section as some trades won't copy unless you define the relationship.
In the example above we have defined a mapping of GOLD to XAUUSD.
To do this, enter the signal providers pair name under Map, then your accounts pair name under
To. Then click Update.
Navigate back to the Disable Pairs tab and you will see the new mapping listed. Repeat the
process for every occurrence of a naming mismatch.
If you make a mistake or need to remove a mapping, simply click on Delete beside the mapping.
Suffix differences are calculated automatically by the EA. You don't need to map pairs if your
account uses a different suffix to your signal provider account. An example of a suffix is EURUSDfx
were 'fx' is the suffix.
14
Configuration Complete You have now completed the configuration for your MT4 account! You can go through each tab and
review your settings. To complete the process click Update on any of the tabs and it will save the
current settings. Once complete, click the Back to My Signals link.
At this stage you are not connected as you have no Heartbeat. This is because you still
have to configure your MT4 terminal with the Receiver EA.
15
Step 3 –EA Installation
To copy trades from any signal provider you need to run your MT4 terminal 24hrs per day with our
Receiver EA attached. You have 3 options to achieve this:
Install the EA on your local PC
Run your MT4 using a VPS (virtual private server) (What is a VPS?)
Use the MT4 hosting service
Install the EA on your local PC – This is the simplest approach to running the trade copier. It
requires you to leave your computer active and connected to the internet 24hrs per day during
market hours. If you experience a power outage or your internet service provider disconnects,
your account will be left in limbo without any way to communicate with our trade copier servers.
This can pose a significant financial risk on your account if a disconnection occurs during times of
high volatility. For this reason we recommend either of the following two options. Run your MT4 using a VPS – A VPS is essentially a remote PC housed inside a datacentre. The
advantages of using a VPS is that you will maintain continuous connection and enable you access
to the trading platform from any internet enabled device. It has the added advantage of being in
close proximity to our trade copier servers which reduces communication times to a fraction of a
millisecond (also known as latency). We recommend using ForexVPS (www.ForexVPS.net) for all signals.
Advantages of using a VPS
- ForexVPS.net is a complete service. If you are unable to install our trade copier software
yourself they can set everything up for you.
- The latency (time delay) between our trade copier server and ForexVPS.net VPS is virtually
zero. This results in the fastest trade execution and lowest slippage possible.
- 100% uptime since inception.
- The staff at ForexVPS.net are able to access your VPS if needed and help with any
installation required should you require help troubleshooting.
MT4 Hosting – This option offers similar advantages to ForexVPS.net. Your MT4 platform is
hosted on our secure servers with installation and maintenance conducted by our staff. Setting up
your MT4 hosting plan takes a maximum of 24hrs.
To subscribe to MT4 Hosting, click on the link on the left hand menu.
The full process of signing up for MT4 Hosting can be found page 33.
16
MT4 Installation
Next, download the Receiver EA from the Control Panel. The Receiver EA can be found in the
Downloads tab on the right hand side of your control panel.
Download the Receiver.
Save the Zip file to any easily accessible location on you PC.
Extract the files inside the Zip folder, then Run Simpletrader-Setup.exe
The setup application will automatically detect and install the Receiver EA onto all MT4’s on your
VPS or PC.
Restart your MT4 and you’ll notice the Receiver EA inside your Navigator window
17
How to manually install the EA if the installer doesn’t work:
Once downloaded and extracted, you need to open the “src” folder, then Copy the ex4 and dll file
into their respective folders in your MT4 installation.
Follow these steps to manually install the receiver EA:
1. Open your MT4 Platform.
2. Open File > Open Data Folder.
3. Navigate to MQL4 > Experts folder.
4. Paste the Simpletrader-V3.XX.ex4 into the Experts folder.
5. Navigate to MQL4 > Libraries folder.
6. Paste the Simpletrader MT4.dll into the Libraries folder.
7. Restart your MT4 Terminal.
8. You then see the Receiver EA inside Expert Advisors section of your navigator window.
18
Key points to understand before you attach your EA 1. EA should attached to one chart only You need to add the Receiver EA to 1 CHART ONLY. The EA is for communication purposes to our
trade servers only. For that reason, it doesn’t matter which chart/pair or time frame you choose to
add it to. If you add the EA to more than 1 chart on the same MT4 account you may experience
duplicate trades. 2. You need to show pairs in Market Watch To receive signals, the pairs need to be shown in Market Watch. If Market Watch is not showing
in your MT4 terminal, click View → Market Watch. If the pair is not showing in Market Watch
the EA does not know it exists and will not take Signals for the missing pair. The easiest way to
make sure is to Show All pairs. In Market Watch right click on any of the pairs and click Show
All.
3. Expert Settings need to be set correctly
You need to set experts to allow the EA to trade live. In your MT4 terminal go to Tools > Options
and then click on the Experts tab in the window that opens. Copy the settings below.
19
Check that the AutoTrading button is set ON. Make sure it shows as below:
20
Step 4 – Attaching the EA to your MT4 platform
Within MT4 open a new chart for any FX based pair, for example EURUSD. To do this go to Market
Watch, right click on any pair and select Chart Window.
Then go to the Navigator window, expand the folder called Expert Advisors. If the Navigator
window is not open click View > Navigator (or CTRL-N).
You will see the Receiver EA SimpleTrader-VX.X on the list. Right click on it and click Attach
to chart.
You will now be presented with an Expert Advisor window. There are 4 tabs but you can ignore
About, Common and Dependencies and click on Inputs. You need to enter a UID in the Inputs. Your UID can be found on the Control Panel at the top
right corner below your name.
21
Once you know your UID, double click the field beside UID and enter the number.
You also have the option to enter up to 5 Magic Numbers for our system to ignore. This option is only needed if you run other EAs on the same account as our copier. Why would I need to use this option? Every trade generated on our system is given a unique number (known as a magic number) which
is applied to the trade. The first trade on the system was 1800 and now in the millions. This is by
design and greatly improves the efficiency of our copier. It also removes the potential for
orphaned trades.
Our system now only considers magic numbers greater than 1 000 000 (one million). If your other
EAs have a magic number above 1 000 000, our copier could potential close the trade as a closed
signal. It is recommended if you are running other EAs to change the Magic number to a
number below 1 000 000 (one million).
For most commercial EAs this is easily changed in the EA Inputs tab. Alternatively, use your EAs
on a different account. For some EAs this is not possible and for that reason you may use the Ignore Magic Number
option. By entering a Magic numbers in the Inputs the system will ignore them and therefore not
affect the performance of your other EAs. Once you have completed the Inputs. Click OK.
22
You should now have a chart with a display similar to below. Make sure your chart has a black
background or you will not see the text.
The important thing to note is the text in the bottom right hand corner - Subscription Active!
If the Signal has any open trades they will be listed under the headings Trade, Symbol,
Comment, Time (Opened) and Status.
Trade Status
If the Signal has any open trades when you connect for the first time, they will be listed. You may
have an Out Of Range message showing in the Status for one or more trades.
This means that the Signal is in a profitable position and beyond your slippage setting. The signal
will remain valid and if the price returns back within your slippage setting of the master accounts
entry price, the trade will be executed on your account. If price never returns to within your
slippage setting, it will not execute on your account and will disappear from the list when it is
closed.
23
cTrader/cAlgo Installation
The process of attaching the EA to cTrader/cAlgo is fairly similar to MT4.
1. Download and extract the zip file
2. Run Simpletrader-VX.X ALGO file
3. Restart cAlgo
4. On the "cBots" tab of cAlgo (left side) you click on the "Simpletrader-VX.X" Receiver.
5. Click the triangle drop down and "add an instance" if needed.
6. Enter your Simpletrader UID which is found in top right corner of your Simpletrader Control
Panel.
7. Choose any timeframe and hit the "Start cBot" button (blue triangle icon)
24
You can confirm that your account is connected by returning to the Control Panel and clicking My
Signals then Show All.
You will see your signal listed and it should have changed from Never to a Heartbeat value
under 30s (seconds).
You are now connected to your signal and will receive trades onto your MT4 account!
To see your MT4 accounts open trades, trade history and statistics relating to your subscribed
signal click on View Activity.
25
Step 5 – Monitoring Your Account Inside the View Activity section of the control panel you are able to monitor the trading status of
your account you have 4 tabs
General Information

SMS Credit – You will notice in the image that the SMS balance is zero. You need to purchase
credit to receive SMS Alerts. To do this you need to click on Top Up. You will be taken to a page were you can select the amount of credit you need and purchase by
clicking on the Paypal Button. There are more options for larger amounts of credit at a discount
but below is the base price.
32
Price Feed SMS Alerts You can use your SMS credit to have price alerts, meaning you can get a SMS sent to your
mobile/cell when the market reaches a pre defined price level. This is a great way to keep up to
date when you are away from your trade platform but you are waiting for price to reach a certain
level.
For example, you want to be notified when the EURUSD reaches 1.40000 - you can setup an alert
which mean you will get an SMS when the price is reached.
To setup go to Toolbox > Price Feed on the right hand menu. Form here you can see the current
market prices and you have a box for setting up a price alert.
To Setup Price Alert:
1. Select the pair you want the alert for, example EURUSD.
2. Define the price you want to be alerted for, example 1.40000.
3. Define how long you want this alert to be valid for. By default it is Never Expire, meaning
it will be valid until the price reaches the target. You can change this value to have the
alert deleted if it is not reached within the defined time period, for example 5 Days.
To create the alert click Add Alert.
You will now see your alert listed below in Your Alerts list.
You can manually delete it at any time by clicking Delete beside the alert.
33
