Question 1

What is Multi-Broker Copy Trading in Margin-9?

Accepted Answer

Since v3.5.0 (Beta), one Margin-9 chart can act as the master and mirror its trading to any number of slave charts running on the same PC — for example to trade one setup across several prop-firm accounts, even when they are connected through different brokers. The master broadcasts its setup (pending entries, position, stop and take-profit levels); each slave rebuilds it with its own orders on its own account and follows the master’s drags, fills and exits. It is off by default and switched on per chart with the Role setting.

Question 2

Does a slave copy the master’s contract count?

Accepted Answer

No. A slave takes only direction and prices from the master and sizes the trade with its own active risk profile, its own Max Contract limits and, if enabled, its own high-volatility cap — exactly as if you had clicked the setup on that chart. A $500 master and a $100 slave both risk what they are configured to. If a slave’s own sizing comes out at zero contracts, it skips the setup and says so on the panel.

Question 3

What happens if the master chart closes or the connection is lost?

Accepted Answer

After the Heartbeat Timeout (5 seconds by default) without an update, the slave freezes: pending copy entries are cancelled, an open position keeps its stops and take-profits, and the panel shows STALE with an alarm. The slave never flattens on its own. As soon as the master is back, the next setup is copied normally.

Question 4

Can I still trade by hand on a slave chart?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A slave chart remains a full trading cockpit — chart-click, pair adoption, and all buttons keep working. A trade you start yourself is never touched by the copy, and while it is open no new copy is started on that chart. FLATTEN or CANCEL ALL on a copied trade also stop the copy on that chart; the KILL button on the copy line does the same without touching the position.

Question 5

Can a MES account copy an ES master, or a simulation chart copy a live one?

Accepted Answer

No — both are refused by design. The slave checks that the trade symbol, tick size and contract size match (a micro and a full-size contract have the same prices but ten times different risk), and that both sides are in the same mode: Simulation with Simulation, Live with Live. Any mismatch shows as GUARD on the panel and never places an order. A Symbol Map is available for one explicit pairing of symbol names that refer to the same contract.

Question 6

How is Margin-9 different from a trade copier?

Accepted Answer

A plain trade copier multiplies the master’s contracts by a fixed factor and copies orders after the fact. Margin-9 copies the setup — direction and price levels — and every account sizes the trade with its own risk profile and contract limits, places its protective stop before the entry, refuses mismatched symbols or accounts, and freezes safely with its protection in place if the master goes silent. Position sizing, brackets, ATR stops and flatten logic are part of the same study, so no second tool is needed.
