Overview
Copy mode lets Kintech_EA copy the orders of a KintechAsia master account to your MT5 account. You enter the copy source code you receive from KintechAsia and choose the lot size. Every new order of the master is copied, and when the master closes a chain your copies close too.
Your settings stay on your computer. To prepare copy reports, the EA sends your balance, equity and trade history to the KintechAsia server.
Requirements
- MetaTrader 5 (desktop, Windows) that stays online - a VPS is recommended.
- A Hedging account. Netting accounts are refused.
- An active Kintech license for the account number. Demo accounts get a trial automatically.
- The Kintech_EA.ex5 file and a copy source code.
1. Install the EA and allow the server
- In MT5 open File > Open Data Folder > MQL5 > Experts and copy Kintech_EA.ex5 there. Then right-click Expert Advisors in the Navigator and choose Refresh.
- Open Tools > Options > Expert Advisors, tick Allow algorithmic trading and Allow WebRequest for listed URL, and add: - https://trader.kintech.asia - http://trader.kintech.asia
- Make sure the Algo Trading button on the toolbar is green.
2. Attach the EA to a chart
- Open the chart of the same instrument as the master, for example XAUUSD. The name may differ at your broker (XAUUSD.m, XAUUSDc...) - use your broker's gold symbol.
- Drag Kintech_EA onto the chart. Common tab: tick Allow Algo Trading.
- Inputs tab:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| License server | https://trader.kintech.asia |
| Mode | Copy |
| Panel | true |
- Press OK. The panel opens on the SETTINGS tab the first time.
Use only one chart per account for copying. Do not attach a second Copy EA to the same account.
3. Settings (SETTINGS tab)
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| COPY SOURCE | The copy source code from KintechAsia |
| START COPY FROM LEVEL | 1 = copy every order of each master chain. 5 = start copying from the 5th order of the chain (1 - 50) |
| COPIED LOT | DEFAULT: lot from the master lot and the lot mode below. DECREASE TO MIN LOT: see below |
| LOT MODE | MULTIPLIER: master lot x value. BALANCE RATIO: master lot x (your balance / master balance) x value |
| LOT VALUE | The value used by the lot mode (above 0, max 100) |
| SLIPPAGE (points) | Maximum price slippage when an order is filled. Default 30 |
Press SAVE & APPLY. CANCEL discards changes that are not saved.
Lot and start-level changes apply to new master chains. Chains that are already being copied keep the settings they started with.
Lot examples
| Setting | Master order | Your order |
|---|---|---|
| Multiplier, value 0.5 | 0.04 | 0.02 |
| Multiplier, value 2 | 0.03 | 0.06 |
| Balance ratio, value 1 - your balance 5,000, master 10,000 | 0.10 | 0.05 |
| Decrease to min lot, start level 5 - master levels 5 / 6 / 7 are 0.02 / 0.03 / 0.04 | 0.02 / 0.03 / 0.04 | 0.01 / 0.02 / 0.02 |
Lots are rounded to your broker's lot step. A lot below the broker minimum becomes the minimum lot.
Decrease to min lot works like the virtual orders of Direct mode: the start level opens with the broker's minimum lot (for example 0.01), and the next levels grow with the same ratio as the master's lots. The lot mode is not used.
4. How copying works
- Only new chains. When you start copying, chains the master already has open are skipped. Copying starts with the next chain the master opens.
- Same number of orders. Every new master order (from your start level) is copied, whatever the price difference. If the connection drops, missing orders are opened when it is back.
- Closing follows the master. When the master closes or clears a chain, your copied orders of that chain are closed together, at the same moment.
- Margin. If there is not enough free margin, the order is retried after 60 seconds and the problem is written in ERROR LOGS.
- Your other orders are never touched. The EA only manages its own copied orders.
Do not close a copied order by hand while the master still holds it - the EA opens it again to match the master.
5. Read the COPY tab
- Header: source name and status.
- Info line: source code, lot settings, start level and magic number.
- MASTER: orders open on the master. COPIED: your copied orders / master orders you follow. P/L: profit of your copied orders. SERVER: time since the last server answer.
- DISABLE COPY / ENABLE COPY button.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| CONNECTING | Contacting the server |
| COPYING | Copying normally |
| NO NEW | Trading was disabled for your account by KintechAsia: no new chains; chains being copied keep following the master, new levels included |
| PAUSED | The copy source is paused by KintechAsia: no new orders; copied orders still close with the master |
| MANAGE ONLY | License not valid: no new orders; copied orders still close with the master |
| STOPPING | You pressed DISABLE COPY - waiting for the chains being copied to close |
| SWITCHING | You changed the copy source - waiting for the copies of the old source to close |
| STOPPED | Copying is off |
| NO SOURCE | Enter the copy source code in SETTINGS |
| OFFLINE | Server not reachable for a while. Copied orders stay; they sync again when the server is back |
| ERROR | The server refused the copy source code - check it in SETTINGS |
6. Stop copying (DISABLE COPY)
- Press DISABLE COPY and confirm.
- Status STOPPING: no new chains are copied. Chains being copied keep following the master - new levels are still copied - until the master closes them. This protects you from holding an incomplete chain when the master closes it.
- When no copied order is left, the status becomes STOPPED and the EA stops contacting the copy source.
- Press ENABLE COPY to copy again. Only chains that the master opens after that moment are copied.
ENABLE COPY is locked while the status is STOPPING. It becomes available once every copied order is closed.
7. Change the copy source
Enter the new code in SETTINGS and press SAVE & APPLY.
- No copied order open: the EA switches at once.
- Copied orders open: status SWITCHING. The old source gets no new chains, its chains being copied keep following the master until they close, then the EA switches to the new source by itself.
8. How copied orders look
- Comment: KintechCopy-XAUUSD01|5 = symbol, slot 01, level 5 of the master chain. The KintechCopy prefix marks copied orders.
- Magic number: 9 + your account number + 99 + slot. Do not change it.
9. ERROR LOGS
Short connection drops are only written in the MT5 Experts tab; problems that last more than about 10 seconds appear in ERROR LOGS.
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| No connection to the server | Add the server address to WebRequest (step 1) and check the internet |
| Network error 1003 ... retrying | The connection dropped - the EA retries by itself |
| copy source ... does not exist | Check the code in SETTINGS |
| Not enough margin to copy ... | Retried after 60 seconds - add funds or lower the lot |
| Master has not reported for ... s | The master is offline - your copies follow its last known orders |
