2. Account Management
Before you can copy trades, you need to add your broker accounts. ZYNQOR supports both MT4 and MT5 accounts from any broker.
Adding an Account
- Navigate to the Accounts page from the sidebar.
- Click Add Account at the top of the page.
- Fill in the account details:
- Account Label — A friendly name (e.g., "My IC Markets Master")
- Platform — Select MT4 or MT5
- Login — Your broker account number
- Password — Your trading password (investor or master password)
- Server — Your broker's server name (e.g., ICMarketsEU-Demo04)
- Role — Master (source) or Slave (receiver)
- Click Save to add the account.
• Master accounts are the source — trades opened here are copied TO slave accounts.
• Slave accounts are the receivers — they execute copies of master trades.
You can use either your investor (read-only) password for master accounts or your trading password for slave accounts.
Testing Account Connection
After adding an account, click the Test button to verify the connection to your broker's server. The status will update to show:
| Status | Color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ✅ Verified | 🟢 Green | Successfully connected & tested |
| Ready | 🔵 Teal | Valid credentials, not yet tested |
| Offline | ⚪ Gray | Missing credentials or connection failed |
Refreshing Allowed IPs
Some brokers restrict connections to specific IP addresses. If you're running ZYNQOR on a VPS or your IP has changed, click Refresh IPs to update the allowed IP list with your broker.
Managing Accounts
- Edit — Click the Edit button on any account row to modify credentials.
- Delete — Remove accounts you no longer need. Active routings using this account will be stopped.
- Test All — Batch-test all accounts at once to verify connections.
3. Routing Rules
Routing rules define how trades are copied from master to slave accounts. Each routing rule connects one master account to one or more slave accounts with specific copy settings.
Creating Your First Routing Rule
- Go to the Routing page.
- In the Add New Routing section, fill in:
- Routing Name — A descriptive name (e.g., "IC Markets → FBS Copy")
- Master Account — Select from the dropdown
- Slave Accounts — Check one or more slave accounts
- Risk Mode — How lot sizes are calculated (see table below)
- Click Add Routing to save the rule.
Lot Sizing Modes
ZYNQOR offers three ways to calculate the lot size copied to slave accounts:
| Mode | How It Works | Example | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ratio | Master lot × multiplier | Master: 1.0 lot, Multiplier: 0.5 → Slave: 0.50 lots | Proportional scaling between accounts |
| Fixed | Always uses a fixed lot size | Fixed: 0.01 → Always copies 0.01 lots | Small accounts, consistent sizing |
| Percentage | % of slave equity per trade | 1% risk → Calculates lot based on slave equity | Risk-based position sizing |
Editing a Routing Rule
In the Active Routings table:
- Select the routing you want to modify
- Click Edit — the form above will populate with the routing's settings
- Make your changes and click Save Changes
Trade Comment
Each copied trade is tagged with an enhanced comment in the format:
{RoutingName}|M{MasterTicket}. This helps you identify which routing rule generated
each trade and trace it back to the master order.
Import & Export
You can export your routing rules to a JSON file for backup or transfer to another machine:
- Export — Saves all routings to a
.jsonfile - Import — Loads routings from a file. ZYNQOR will attempt to remap account IDs automatically if the accounts on the new machine have different IDs.
4. Safety & Risk Controls
ZYNQOR includes several built-in safety mechanisms to protect your accounts from excessive losses. These are configured per routing rule.
Safety Parameters
| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Loss Limit | 0 (disabled) |
Stop copying if daily loss exceeds this % of starting equity. Example: 5.0
= stop if loss exceeds 5%. |
| Max Slippage | 0 (disabled) |
Skip copy if expected slippage exceeds this many pips. Example: 3.0 = skip
if slippage > 3 pips. |
| Max Open Trades | 0 (unlimited) |
Limit the total number of open trades on the slave account. New copies are blocked when this limit is reached. |
| Equity Stop-Out | 0 (disabled) |
Stop copying if slave equity drops below this % of starting balance. Example:
80.0 = stop if equity < 80%. |
| Trade Direction | Both |
Filter which directions to copy: Both, Buy Only, or Sell Only. |
• Daily Loss Limit: 4% (below the firm's 5% limit to leave a buffer)
• Equity Stop-Out: 90% (protects against drawdown limits)
• Max Open Trades: 10-20 (prevents over-exposure)
Per-Symbol Max Lots
You can set maximum lot size limits for individual symbols. This prevents oversized positions on specific instruments (e.g., limiting Gold to 0.10 lots while allowing 1.0 lots on EURUSD).
5. Power Features
These advanced features give you fine-grained control over how and when trades are copied.
Reverse Copy
When enabled, trades are copied in the opposite direction:
- Master BUY → Slave SELL
- Master SELL → Slave BUY
Useful for hedging strategies or contrarian approaches where you want to take the opposite side of a signal.
Session Time Filter
Restrict trade copying to specific hours of the day (UTC). Only trades opened during the defined session window will be copied.
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Session Start | 08:00 UTC |
Hour when copying begins |
| Session End | 18:00 UTC |
Hour when copying stops |
Supports overnight sessions — setting Start: 22, End: 06 means copying runs from 22:00 to 06:00 UTC.
Symbol Whitelist / Blacklist
Control which symbols are copied with a filter:
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| None | All symbols are copied (default) |
| Whitelist | Only copy symbols in the list (e.g., EURUSD, GBPUSD) |
| Blacklist | Copy all symbols EXCEPT those in the list |
Copy Delay
Add a delay in seconds before executing a copy. Useful for:
- Waiting for better fills during volatile moments
- News event buffer during rapid price movements
- Setting to
0(default) means instant copying
Max Latency Guard
Skip copying to slave accounts whose average execution latency exceeds a threshold. Based on a rolling average of the last 10 executions (requires at least 3 executions before activating).
Example: Setting 500ms means any slave with average latency > 500ms will be temporarily
skipped.
6. News Filter
The News Filter automatically pauses trade copying around high-impact economic events to protect you from volatility spikes and slippage. It uses the Financial Modeling Prep (FMP) API to monitor a global economic calendar in real-time.
How It Works
- ZYNQOR fetches the economic calendar every 4 hours and caches it locally.
- Before each trade copy, it checks if any relevant news events are within the blocking window.
- If an event matches, the trade is held until the post-buffer period expires.
- The system automatically detects currencies from your symbol (e.g., EURUSD → EUR + USD).
Configuration
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Enable News Filter | Off | Toggle the news filter on/off per routing |
| Impact Level | High | Which events to filter: High, Medium, Low (mix & match) |
| Pre-Buffer | 5 minutes | Minutes to pause before the event |
| Post-Buffer | 5 minutes | Minutes to resume after the event |
| Relevant Only | On | When on, only pauses pairs matching the news currency. When off, ALL copying pauses. |
Example Scenario
NFP (Non-Farm Payrolls) is scheduled at 13:30 UTC:
- With 5-min pre-buffer: Copying pauses at 13:25 UTC
- With 5-min post-buffer: Copying resumes at 13:35 UTC
- With "Relevant Only" on: Only USD pairs are paused (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, etc.)
- Non-USD pairs (EURGBP, AUDNZD) continue copying normally
7. Dashboard & Monitoring
The Dashboard is your command center — it shows the status of all your routing rules with live updates every 2 seconds.
Control Buttons
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| ▶ Start | Begin copying trades for a specific routing. Connects to master and slave accounts. |
| ⏸ Pause | Temporarily halt one specific routing. Existing trades stay open, but no new copies are made. Click again to resume. |
| ⏹ Stop | Completely stop a routing. Disconnects from accounts. |
| 🛑 Emergency Stop | Global halt — immediately stops ALL active routings at once. Use in emergencies. |
Live Monitoring
For each running routing, the Dashboard shows:
- Status — Running, Paused, Stopped, Syncing
- Master Account — Connected master with live status
- Slave Accounts — Each slave with individual P/L
- Copy Latency — Execution speed in milliseconds
- Heartbeat Animation — Visual indicator that the system is actively polling
Expanded Slave Statistics
Click on any running routing to expand it and see detailed statistics per slave account:
- Open P/L — Current unrealized profit/loss
- Closed P/L — Historical realized profit/loss (filterable by time period)
- Symbol Positions — Open trades grouped by symbol
- Trade History — List of closed trades with entry/exit prices, lots, and P/L
KPI Cards
At the top of the Dashboard, summary cards show:
- Active Routings — Number of currently running routings
- Total P/L — Combined profit/loss across all slaves
- Open Trades — Total number of currently open copied trades
- Today's Volume — Total lots traded today
8. Symbol Mapping
Different brokers often use different symbol names for the same instrument. For example:
| Broker A (Master) | Broker B (Slave) | Same Instrument |
|---|---|---|
EURUSD |
EURUSD.ecn |
Euro vs US Dollar |
XAUUSD |
GOLD |
Gold vs US Dollar |
US30 |
DJ30 |
Dow Jones 30 |
BTCUSD |
BTC/USD |
Bitcoin vs US Dollar |
Adding a Symbol Mapping
- Go to the Symbol Mapping page.
- Enter the Master Symbol (how it appears on your master broker).
- Enter the Slave Symbol (how it appears on your slave broker).
- Click Add Mapping.
EURUSD and your slave broker uses EURUSD.ecn, add one mapping and
it works for every routing.
.ecn, .raw, .pro, _m,
and .i.
