A DXtrade to DXtrade trade copier repeats the trades of one DXtrade account on others. Devexperts licenses DXtrade to brokers and prop firms under their own brands, so two firms' platforms can look different and still both be DXtrade, which means one master can feed accounts at several of them. Heron Copier repeats every open, modification and close from the master on each slave.
The detail to check is the position model. Each broker sets its DXtrade accounts to hedging or netting, and two firms do not always choose the same. If the master is hedging and holds opposite trades on one symbol, a netting slave merges them into a single position, so use the same model on both sides if you trade that way. Firms also set their own limits, and per-symbol lot caps and a symbol whitelist on each slave keep it within its firm's rules. You trade the master in the browser or on mobile, as usual.
It runs in the Heron Copier cloud with no VPS and nothing to install, or locally on your own VPS. Every paid license includes both.
How to set up DXtrade to DXtrade copying
- Add your DXtrade account as the master in the dashboard. Connect it with your DXtrade login, password and broker.
- Add your DXtrade account as the slave and pick the master it copies from. Connect it with your DXtrade login, password and broker.
- Choose one of the six volume sizing methods for the slave and, if the brokers name symbols differently, add a symbol suffix or aliases.
- Launch. Cloud accounts are usually online in under 60 seconds, and the dashboard shows every copied trade, balance and position live.

Things to check before you start
- Each slave has its own volume sizing, so accounts of different sizes can copy the same trades. The default, Equity-to-Equity, keeps the risk of every slave in proportion to the master.
- Two DXtrade brokers can still name symbols differently. Set a suffix or aliases on the slave if the names don't match.
- Partial closes on a DXtrade master are not passed on to the slaves yet. Full closes are copied, so a trade you scale out of stays at full size on the slaves until you close the rest.
- DXtrade reports new trades at about one request per second, so very fast scalps can reach the slaves with a short delay.
- Partial closes on the master are not copied to DXtrade slaves, because of a limit in the DXtrade API. Full closes are copied as usual.
- If your prop firm blocks API access, the local DXtrade slave app has a non-API mode that works through Google Chrome. It supports only the Lot Multiplier and Fixed Lot sizing methods.
- DXtrade accepts about one API request per second, so bursts of many trades are copied one after another. It suits swing and intraday trading better than scalping.
Frequently asked questions
Can one DXtrade master copy to several DXtrade accounts?
Yes. Add as many DXtrade slaves as you need, each with its own volume sizing, symbol mapping and risk limits. In the cloud every account uses one cloud seat, and the local version has no account limit.
Can the DXtrade accounts be at different brokers or prop firms?
Yes. That is the most common setup. Symbol suffixes and aliases handle different symbol names, and each slave has its own volume sizing.
What happens if a trade fails to copy?
Turn on failed trade copy notifications to get an e-mail alert. The account logs in the dashboard also show the reason, for example a symbol that doesn't exist on the slave or a size below the minimum.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 7 days with 2 cloud accounts. During the trial a slave copies every trade at a fixed 0.01 lot; a paid license unlocks the other sizing methods.
