Feature Hidden stop-loss and take-profit in HFT Forex Copier
When your stop-loss and take-profit sit on the broker’s server, the broker and its liquidity provider can see exactly where you will be forced out. Hidden stop-loss and take-profit keep those levels on the copier side, invisible to the broker, and trigger them locally instead.
What it is: optional “hide SL / TP” modes that store your stop-loss and take-profit inside the copier rather than sending them to the broker. The order sits on the server with no visible SL or TP; when price reaches your level, the copier closes the position. The protective level still works, but nobody upstream can see it.

Why traders hide stops
A stop-loss resting on the server is information. In thin or volatile conditions, clustered stops around obvious levels can be reached by brief spikes, and traders have long suspected that visible stops invite exactly the wobble that triggers them. Hiding the level removes that information: the broker sees an open position with no attached stop, while your real exit is held privately by the copier and executed the moment price touches it.
How it works
- Level stored copier-side. You set SL and TP as normal; the copier keeps them and does not transmit them to the broker.
- Local monitoring. The copier watches price and closes the position when your level is hit.
- Per-order control. Hide the SL, the TP, or both, and choose it per account so you can keep visible stops where you prefer.
Why it matters
Protection from stop-hunting
Your exit is not visible on the server, so it cannot be targeted by anyone watching order flow.
Cleaner order footprint
Positions carry no attached SL/TP, reducing what the platform records about your intentions.
Same protection, privately
You keep a real stop; it simply lives with the copier instead of the broker.
Per-account choice
Apply it only where you want it, alongside per-account sizing and filters.
Important reliability note. Because a hidden stop is triggered by the copier, it can only fire while the copier and its connection are running. If the machine, terminal or connection goes down, a hidden SL will not execute, whereas a server-side stop would. Run the copier on a stable machine or VPS, and consider keeping a wider server-side safety stop behind a tighter hidden one.
Using it
Enable hide-SL and hide-TP per slave account in the copier. It pairs naturally with imitation manual trading for a lighter overall footprint, and works across all routes, including FIX API and cTrader. The concept is also defined in the glossary.
What are hidden stop-loss and take-profit?
They are modes that keep your SL and TP inside the copier instead of on the broker’s server. The position shows no attached stop; the copier closes it locally when your level is reached.
Does the broker see my stop?
No. With hide-SL or hide-TP enabled, the level is stored copier-side and never sent to the broker, so it is invisible to the broker and its liquidity provider.
What happens if the copier goes offline?
A hidden stop only triggers while the copier is running, so it will not fire if the machine or connection is down. Run on a stable VPS and consider a wider server-side safety stop behind the hidden one.
Can I hide only the stop-loss and keep a visible take-profit?
Yes. You can hide the SL, the TP, or both, and set it per account.
