Copy trades from TradeLocker to DXtrade when you trade one prop firm account on TradeLocker and hold another at a firm whose platform is built on DXtrade, often under the firm's own name. You trade from TradeLocker's TradingView charts, and Heron Copier opens the same trade on the DXtrade account, follows every stop loss and take profit change and closes it with the master.
Both platforms accept about one API request per second, so this pair fits swing and intraday trading rather than scalping: a burst of trades is passed on one after another. Check the DXtrade account's position model, which the firm sets. TradeLocker keeps every position separate, but a netting DXtrade account merges trades on the same symbol into one, so opposite trades only stay apart on a hedging DXtrade account. If the DXtrade firm blocks API access, the local DXtrade slave app has a non-API mode that works through Google Chrome, limited to Lot Multiplier and Fixed Lot sizing.
Connect TradeLocker with your email, password and server, and DXtrade with your login, password and broker. The pair runs in the Heron Copier cloud with nothing to install, or in the local apps on your own VPS, and every paid license includes both.
How to set up TradeLocker to DXtrade copying
- Add your TradeLocker account as the master in the dashboard. Connect it with your TradeLocker email, password and server.
- 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.
About TradeLocker and DXtrade
TradeLocker is a newer platform built for the web and mobile, with TradingView charts built in. Many prop firms adopted it as an alternative to MetaTrader.
DXtrade is Devexperts' white-label platform, offered by brokers and prop firms under their own brand. It runs in the browser and on mobile.
For everything else about each platform, see the TradeLocker Trade Copier and DXtrade Trade Copier pages.

Things to check before you start
- TradeLocker and DXtrade brokers rarely use the same symbol names. Set a suffix or explicit aliases on the slave, for example US30.cash=DJ30. Auto symbol mapping catches what is left as a last resort.
- Minimum volume and volume steps can differ between the two platforms. The default Equity-to-Equity sizing keeps risk in proportion, and per-symbol lot caps stop oversized trades.
- TradeLocker 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.
- 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 TradeLocker 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.
What if my TradeLocker and DXtrade brokers name symbols differently?
Add a suffix such as .m, or explicit aliases such as US30.cash=DJ30, with a per-symbol lot multiplier where contract sizes differ. Symbols that still don't match go through auto symbol mapping as a last resort.
Can I copy from DXtrade to TradeLocker instead?
Yes. Every trading platform Heron Copier supports can be a master or a slave. See the DXtrade to TradeLocker trade copier.
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.
