If you want to copy trades to and from MT4 / MT5 / cTrader you have to use Bifrost, which is free and will become open source next year if there are an adequate number of sponsors:
- Download | https://ctrader.guru/?repository=bifrost&category=cbots
- Tutorial | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3CV074hQTU
Installation is very simple, only assistance is given to sponsors to keep the project free.
@armagedon did you solve your issue (I have the same ;-). Thx for sharing.
Hi all,
The links seem to be gone. Please kindly share on Google Drive or similar. Many thanks.
Hi,
I downloaded the Cbot & installed, but..
MT4 Trade Sender ex4 is no longer available, for connecting the MT4 Terminal
- Does someone have this?
Also,
in the Cbot code, i do not see where i can add the MT4 acocunt Details?
(I am trying to Send MT4 trades to CTrader)
Thanks
- any idea how the external path to MT4 works..cause I m getting error that the mt4 path does not exist?
- Thanks
I added the .ex4 as a download.
http://angloam.net/MT4-cAlgo-TradeCopier-OLD-files/TradeCopierProvider.ex4
That domain name is now for sale, so I guess the previous operator gave up?
I have a copy of the MT4 Trade Sender source file, so I put it online, HERE:
http://angloam.net/MT4-cAlgo-TradeCopier-OLD-files/TradeCopierProvider.mq4
Use that source code to build an .ex4, then run it. Change the ID in both MT4 and cAlgo versions, the IT WORKS! At least it works for me, 99.9% of the time.
However lately I had a few problems, some of my VPS instances started using different default MT4 Data Directories/Folders, either in 'Program Files(x86)' OR in .AppData/Roaming/etc .. VERY CONFUSING!
I must stress that the .mq4 FILE I am making available is NOT my work, nor am I 'supporting it'. But if anybody has rael problems getting it to work then I am willing to try to help.
Good morning!
The page won't load http://mt2ct.com/ I get 'your connection has timed out' message, and then the 504 error. (I have refreshed multiple times, and tried different connections.) Can you check it, please?
What I am doing to avoid the problem of partial closures, is open microlots (1k). Then I can close the positions I want, without changing the commission costs.

nHen, simply use www.cmirror.com from Spotware to copy trades from one cTrader account to another. Link all accounts via your cTID and then login to cMirror and enble copying. You may also copy the trades of succesful traders for a fee -copy mine called AAA+ -:) Although cMirror is efficient in copying trades, it has some bugs with the website - total for all open trades does not add up properly, all linked acounts do not show the signal provide it is mirroring, etc, etc. A new version of cMirror is under construction.
The main issue I have with this cBot is that partial trade closure in MT4 causes closure of the entire trade in CT. CT then opens another trade at the current market price for the remaining volume. It is a serious issue as one could lose much money. Do any of the programmers know of a fix?
Hi, Thanks This was super easy to install and worked perfectly. Can you let me know when you will be adding a lot multiplyer or similar so it will open trades more suitable to account size. Cheers
Say I wanted to place a trade with MT4 based on price movement in cTrader..
Can this be done?
Anyone ever find a solutions for copying trades between two cTrader accounts?
explict file path wath this meen?
Can we have one that copies from ctrader to mt4? ctrader is superb for trading but my broker has only metatrader 4.
ctrader charting platform is the best. One can easily trade H8 or H12 using D2 and D3 as bias charts.
Can somebody tell me how the Trade Copier works? How can cAlgo receive signals from indicators on MT4?
i want copy trader from Ctrder to MT4
How to make it work in 1 chart at mt4 where other EA is running? I use EA, so need it to be copied into ctrader
is there a way to say have the MT4 trade 1 lot and the Ctrader to trade 0.5 or 2 lots ?
anyone still using this cbot? i installed it on mt4 and ctrader but it's not working on ctrader when i press play button it does nothing means not activating. any solution?
@mindbreaker As RedRhinoFX said, I would like a version with the socket connection always opened because I use a scalper EA on MT4 that works on price impulsion and closes the positions very fast.
A low latency is very important between MT4 and CTrader. The door between them must stay opened to not have to open it every trade.
Thanks
hi and the ea where do i findit?' im count of loss cut somebody explainme
@RedRhinoFX - it is simple example (but if provider set order only one in a day/week/month for what keep socket connection open all the time) or for what send the same data to the server every tick :)
@[RedRhinoFX] i am interested in Ctrader to cTrader Trade copier , do you happen to have a solution now?
Thanks
@MindBreaker - https://github.com/breakermind/cAlgoCopier/blob/master/cAlgoSignalProvider.algo - Why not keep the socket connection open? Such as provider <-> server <-> client
that way, the instant a trade opens it will be relayed to the client
because a socket connect is open between the two
I agree with kamol.
I did the install, but only found the cAlgo Receiver files, not the MQL Sender files.
Where can I get that?
Thanks,
Stearno
Hi
How does it know the path where I installed MT4.
I installed the EA but could not find any "TradeCopierProvider" file.
Hi [RedRhinoFX] I have got a solution, see Your messages.
Can this be used to copy cTrader to cTrader using the same method?
Please view my job listing here - http://ctrader.com/jobs/105
is possible copy to ctrade at mt4 ?
and copy pending orders
and set trail protection.
thanks.
No, it is not possible to copy pending orders.
Trail protection will be copied if you set trailing stop in MT.

Still the same issue mate. Can't download as link is down.
The web page at https://onedrive.live.com/download?resid=8354967F438497B7!107 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Download is working. Please try it one more time.
Download is not working on the Website: http://mt2ct.com/ . Can you please fix it ? I would like to give this copier a go and will like to test it.
