Components

MultiTradeFx.exe

Hint:
  • Terminals row shows the count of master and slave terminals connected.
  • Channel ID row shows the unique string value of active channel shared between master and slave.
  • Check Summ row shows calculated checksumm value for last orders snapshot.
  • Time Stamp row shows the time of last orders snapshot.
Master and slave scripts
s-mtfx_v30m is master script (letter m at the end), s-mtfx_v30s is slave script (letter s at the end).
s-mtfx_v30dm and s-mtfx_v30ds scripts belong to demo version of CopyTool.

Run master terminal. Drag master script from Navigator window and drop on a chart.
Run slave terminal. Drag slave script from Navigator window and drop on a chart.

Hint:
No matter what symbol and timeframe has the chart: EURUSD or GBPUSD, H1 or M15.
Do not start the second instance of master or slave script per terminal. The main rule is 1 terminal - 1 script.



Next step the terminal will show a window with script options. Use the following settings:
  • Allow live trading: [Yes]
  • Ask manual confirmation: [No]
  • Allow DLL imports: [Yes]
  • Comfirm DLL function call: [No]
  • Allow import of external experts: [Yes]
  • Expert Advisors button on Metatrader panel: [Pushed and green]



The timer at upper right corner of the chart will signal you that the script has beed started successful.


Logs and errors

Where are my errors?
Master and slave scripts write all potentially useful informaton into Metatrader logs.
Metatrader keeps the logs into "Metatrader\logs" and "Metatrader\experts\logs" folders.
Alternatively you can check Experts and Journal tabs of Metatrader terminal panel for possible errors.
