Terminals Overview

Terminals are software that allow you to trade through your broker. With these tools, you can use robots (EA & cBot) to execute trades automatically.

Copiix leverages these robots to manage trades and ensure compatibility with other systems. Each system uses its own programming language, so each terminal will run its own version of Copiix.

The terminals we manage are cTrader, MT4 (Metatrader 4), and MT5 (Metatrader 5), and with these, you can handle an unlimited number of combinations among them.

How does the copying work?

As mentioned earlier, Copiix does not use any direct connection between the terminals and the console. Instead, it relies on commit packages that are saved and retrieved in specific directories.

The Metatrader platform has a very strict sandbox system, so it’s not possible to go beyond these constraints. The communication directory is:

C:\Users\<your user>\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\Common\Files\Copiix

where the entire ecosystem of the copying mechanism resides.

Important

Do not modify or manipulate any files within this directory to avoid unexpected results. Even though the system is well-designed and all scenarios have been accounted for, unforeseen issues may still arise.

Required

For Copiix to work properly, it needs to be running on the terminals, and those terminals must be connected to the internet. You can close the console once you’ve adjusted the parameters, but it should stay open if you’re using premium services like the remote service and the webhook service.

When looking at the chart information, pay special attention to two key details:

• Managed
  These are the trades that are being correctly managed by the system. Even if the terminal is restarted, these trades will remain in memory and continue to be managed properly.

• Orphans
  These are the trades that were open while Copiix was inactive, so they haven’t been managed. These trades are outside the Copiix circuit and will need to be handled manually.
