To copy trades from MT4 or MT5 to cTrader I'm using Duplikium Trade Copier.
It's cloud based, so nothing to install and you can access it from your mobile phone anytime.
Check it here: https://www.trade-copier.com

Yes, cBot works onTick. cTrader recently added onTimer support. The whole onTick function can be copied into the onTimer to achieve the looping every 250ms. Currently, MT4 loops every 250ms, and cBot opens/closes onTick
As far as I see, you read file in OnTick method. In this case bellow statement is not guaranteed
- MT EA loops every 250ms for new trading activity
I recommend using Copiix https://copiix.com 100% free with superpower
