Parameters Configuration

The Copiix Console provides a comprehensive parameter system that allows precise control over copy trading operations. This unified interface makes it easy to configure and manage operational conditions across all connected terminals with professional-grade precision.

General Configuration

The General section contains fundamental parameters that apply to all operational setups. These core settings establish the foundation for terminal identity and basic operational behavior.

General Parameters Configuration

Terminal Identity

ID

Each terminal receives a unique identification code that serves as its reference throughout the system. This ID is automatically generated and cannot be modified, ensuring consistent terminal identification across all operations.

Technical Details:

  • Format: Alphanumeric string (MD5)
  • Generation: Based on system timestamp and random seed
  • Uniqueness: Guaranteed across all instances

Alias

Custom naming system that allows you to assign memorable names to terminals instead of relying on complex IDs. This significantly improves user experience when managing multiple terminals.

Best Practices:

  • Use descriptive names (e.g., "Scalping-MT4", "News-cTrader")
  • Include strategy or account type
  • Keep names concise but meaningful
  • Avoid special characters

Terminal Mode Configuration

Provider Mode

Configures the terminal to broadcast trading signals to selected copyer terminals. Provider terminals act as signal sources in the copy trading network.

Provider Capabilities:

  • Signal broadcasting to multiple copyers
  • Filter management for outgoing signals
  • Remote user management (Premium feature)

Copyer Mode

Sets the terminal to receive and execute signals from both local and remote providers. Copyer terminals act as signal receivers in the network.

Copyer Features:

  • Multi-source signal reception
  • Advanced money management
  • Symbol translation and filtering
  • Risk management controls

Both Mode

Dual-mode configuration allowing a terminal to simultaneously send and receive signals. Copiix includes built-in protections to prevent signal loops in this mode, ensuring safe operation even in complex setups.

Use Cases:

  • Multi-tier trading strategies
  • Signal amplification networks
  • Advanced portfolio management
  • Hierarchical trading systems

Both Mode Precautions

Use Both mode only when necessary. Copiix automatically protects against signal loops, but it is still recommended to carefully test your configuration in a demo environment.

Symbol Management

Prefix and Suffix Handling

Professional brokers often append prefixes or suffixes to standard symbol names (e.g., ecnEURUSD, EURUSDpro). Copiix handles these variations transparently while maintaining standard symbol communication.

Configuration Process:

  1. Identify Extra Characters: Determine broker-specific additions
  2. Configure Filtering: Add prefix/suffix in designated fields
  3. Specify Affected Pairs: Define which symbols require filtering
  4. Test Translation: Verify correct symbol mapping

Examples:

  • ECN Broker: ecn prefix → ecnEURUSD becomes EURUSD
  • Pro Account: pro suffix → EURUSDpro becomes EURUSD
  • Micro Lots: m suffix → EURUSDm becomes EURUSD

Symbol Filtering

Granular control over which symbols are processed by prefix/suffix rules:

EURUSD,GBPUSD,USDJPY  // Only these pairs will be modified
*                     // All pairs (default)

Connection Management

Disconnect Control

Emergency disconnection feature that safely terminates terminal operations without requiring direct terminal intervention.

Disconnect Process:

  1. Signal Cessation: Stops sending/receiving new signals
  2. Order Completion: Allows pending operations to complete
  3. Safe Shutdown: Cleanly closes all connections
  4. Status Update: Updates terminal status in the interface

Provider Configuration

Provider configuration manages signal broadcasting, copyer relationships, and distribution controls. This section contains all parameters needed to configure a terminal as a signal source.

Copyer Management

Calculation Formula:

Copyer Lot Size = (Provider Lot Size × Copyer Equity ÷ Provider Equity) × Multiplier

Advanced Features:

  • Dynamic Scaling: Adjust sizing based on equity changes
  • Risk Multiplier: Apply additional scaling factor

Example Scenarios:

Provider: €10,000 equity, 1.0 lot trade
Copyer: €1,000 equity, 0.5 multiplier
Result: 0.05 lot trade (€1,000 ÷ €10,000 × 1.0 × 0.5)

Percentage-Based Sizing

Flexible percentage-based position sizing with advanced scaling options.

Percentage Options:

  • 50%: Half the provider's position size
  • 100%: Exact same position size
  • 200%: Double the provider's position size
  • Custom: Any percentage value (e.g., 37%, 150%, 275%)

Risk Management:

  • Maximum Percentage: Upper limit for position sizing
  • Minimum Percentage: Lower limit to ensure execution
  • Graduated Scaling: Different percentages for different position sizes

Fixed Lot Sizing

Consistent position sizing regardless of provider's trade size.

Fixed Size Benefits:

  • Predictable Risk: Consistent position sizing
  • Simple Management: Easy risk calculation
  • Account Protection: Prevent oversized positions
  • Strategy Testing: Consistent sizing for backtesting

Configuration Options:

  • Single Fixed Size: Same size for all trades
  • Symbol-Specific: Different fixed sizes per symbol

Money Management Map

The Money Management Map is an advanced feature that allows configuring specific money management rules for different symbols, symbol groups, or Magic Numbers. This provides granular risk control for each asset or trading strategy.

How It Works

The system applies rules with a priority order: if it finds a specific configuration in the map for a symbol, it uses that; otherwise, it applies the default Money Management configuration.

Rule Priority System: 3. Group Match: Macro configurations (e.g., PROVIDER_ID>EURUSD|GBPUSD|USDJPY) 2. Magic Number Match: Strategy-specific configurations (e.g., 123456)

  1. Exact Symbol Match: Specific symbol configurations (e.g., EURUSD)
  2. Default Fallback: General Money Management settings

Configuration Formats

🔸 Single Symbols
  • Format: EURUSD or GBPUSD
  • Use: Specific configuration for a single symbol
  • Example: EURUSD with Percentage 25%
🔸 Multiple Symbols
  • Format: EURUSD,GBPUSD,USDJPY
  • Use: Same configuration for multiple symbols
  • Example: All major pairs with Equity to Equity 0.5
🔸 Magic Numbers/Labels
  • Format: 123456,789012
  • Use: Configuration based on robot identifier
  • Example: Scalping robots with Fixed Lots 0.01
🔸 Mixed Configurations
  • Format: EURUSD,123456,GBPUSD
  • Use: Combination of symbols and Magic Numbers
  • Example: Specific symbols + specific robot
🔸 Advanced Macros
  • Format: PROVIDER_ID>EURUSD|GBPUSD|123456
  • Use: Logical groupings with identifier (always use PROVIDER_ID as the macro name)
  • Note: PROVIDER_ID corresponds to the unique ID of the provider terminal, as shown in the Console.
  • Example: PROVIDER_ID>EURUSD|GBPUSD|USDJPY for major currencies from a specific provider

Practical Configuration Examples

Example 1: Risk Management by Asset Type
Default Configuration: Equity to Equity 1.0

Map:
1. XAUUSD → Percentage 50% (Metals: reduced risk)
2. BTCUSD → Fixed Lots 0.01 (Crypto: prudent testing)
3. EURUSD → Equity to Equity 1.5 (Majors: more aggressive)
Example 2: Management by Different Robots
Provider uses 3 different robots:
- Magic 111111: Scalping
- Magic 222222: Swing Trading
- Magic 333333: News Trading

Map:
1. 111111 → Fixed Lots 0.01 (Safe scalping)
2. 222222 → Equity to Equity 2.0 (Aggressive swing)
3. 333333 → Percentage 25% (Prudent news)
Example 3: Advanced Configuration with Macros
Map:
1. PROVIDER_ID > USDJPY | USDCHF | USDCAD → Percentage 30%
2. PROVIDER_ID > GBPJPY | EURJPY | GBPAUD → Equity to Equity 2.0
3. PROVIDER_ID > XAUUSD | XAGUSD → Fixed Lots 0.05
4. PROVIDER_ID > 111111 | 222222 → Fixed Lots 0.01

Step-by-Step Configuration

Step 1: Choose Money Management Type
  • Select from Equity to Equity, Percentage, or Fixed Lots
  • Enter appropriate value
Step 2: Define Symbols/Criteria
  • Enter symbols separated by commas: EURUSD,GBPUSD

  • Use demo account for testing

Best Practices

  1. Start Simple: Begin with basic symbol-based rules
  2. Test Thoroughly: Use demo accounts to verify configurations
  3. Monitor Performance: Regularly review rule effectiveness
  4. Document Rules: Keep clear records of configuration logic
  5. Regular Updates: Adjust rules based on performance data

Important Considerations

  • Rules are processed in order of specificity (exact match → partial match → default)
  • Overlapping rules may cause unexpected behavior
  • Always test new configurations on demo accounts first
  • Consider market conditions when setting aggressive multipliers
