Below are the variable explanations:
1. Symbol map list - if cTrader's instrument name is different with MetaTrader's, please input as below format (MT4's symbol name first, comma, then cTrader's)
BTCUSD,BITCOIN;
if two pairs,
BTCUSD,BITCOIN;XAUUSD,GOLD;
2. Lot multiplier list - if you want to multiply the lot value to cTrader, for instance, input
EURUSD,10;XAUUSD,2;
If simply input
5
All trade lots at MT4 will be multiplied by 5.
3. Order magic number list - you could assign specific magic number for trade signalling.
For multiple magic, separate each with comma.
For instance, 3413434,1343292
Default is a blank string, i.e. applying on all trades.
4. Applicable symbol list - you could restrict to specific symbol/instruments. Separate each with comma, e.g. EURUSD,XAUUSD,USOIL
Default is a blank string, i.e. applying on all symbols.
5. Applicable comment list - you could restrict to specific order comment. Separate each with comma.
6. Reverse trade - if setting true, it will reverse the trade signal to cTrader.
For instance, a LONG trade will be signalled as a SHORT trade.
7. Session time - default is from 00:00-24:00
8. Alert and panel settings - that should be self explanatory.
9. If you have two more MT4 inside one computer to send trade signals to cTrader(s), you could set 'Copy group id string' variable (e.g. ABCD, LONDON, INST) at MT4 signal EA. At cTrader side, set the same string texts at cTrader Copier's 'Copy group id string' as well. Then this MT4 and cTrader will become a specific copy pair. If your cTrader copier was downloaded earlier than Jul/14/2023, please update to Copier version v1.35 or higher to support this. cTrader Copier download link is listed at above mentioned blog.
