Description
What the DXtrade Connector is
The DXtrade Connector is an add-on module for HFT Forex Copier that connects a MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 master account to a DXtrade subaccount as a slave. Orders placed on the MT master are received via the local terminal, converted to DXtrade’s internal order protocol, and submitted to the DXtrade account in real time. The connector is installed on Windows as part of the copier and runs alongside the MT4/MT5 module.
What it does
- MT4 → DXtrade and MT5 → DXtrade order replication (market and pending orders, modifications, partial close, SL/TP updates).
- Handles DXtrade’s symbol naming conventions per broker (suffixes, prefixes, instrument groups).
- Per-subaccount risk profile: lot scaling, max lot, slippage, max spread, trading hours.
- Skip-SL/TP and reverse mode for hedged strategies across the challenge and funded phases.
- Compatible with all HFT Forex Copier lot-sizing modes.
Why the DXtrade ecosystem needs this
A large share of the next-generation prop-firm market has migrated away from MetaTrader to DXtrade (Devexperts) because MT5 licensing terms have become restrictive for prop firms. Traders are forced to either rewrite their MT strategies natively for DXtrade—which is not trivial—or find a local bridge. The DXtrade Connector is that bridge: your existing MT4 or MT5 EA/strategy continues to run unchanged, and its orders are mirrored into the DXtrade-funded account.
Who this is for
- Prop-firm traders with accounts at FundingPips (DXtrade), Blueberry Funded, Hola Prime, FundedNext DXtrade, Lux Trading Firm, Glow Node, and other DXtrade-based firms.
- Algo traders with mature MT4/MT5 EAs who do not want to port the strategy to a new platform.
- Money managers copying one master MT strategy into several DXtrade-based funded accounts.
Typical use cases
- Challenge phase: run your EA on a personal MT4/MT5 broker account; copy into the DXtrade challenge account with conservative lot scaling.
- Funded phase: promote the same routing to the funded DXtrade account; profit-split trades are executed natively inside DXtrade as required by the prop firm.
- Multi-firm stacking: one MT master, simultaneous copying into 3–10 DXtrade accounts across different prop firms with individual risk settings.
Requirements
- Active HFT Forex Copier license (MT4 or MT5 edition, or the Bundle) running on the same PC.
- Windows 10/11 or Windows Server 2016+.
- DXtrade account credentials provided by your prop firm.
Limitations
The connector is one-directional by design: MT → DXtrade. DXtrade does not expose a broadly accessible retail API for reading positions out, so DXtrade cannot act as a master in the current release. Each prop firm’s DXtrade instance may enable or disable specific instrument groups and order types — the connector respects these server-side restrictions and logs any rejections.
FAQ
Does the prop firm see that I’m using a copier?
The DXtrade server sees normal order submissions from an authenticated client, not a proxy. The copier runs locally, so there is no external service in the chain. Always check your firm’s rules — some explicitly permit copiers, some do not.
Does it work on all DXtrade prop firms?
It works on any DXtrade account that exposes standard login credentials for its trading client. A small number of firms use heavily restricted DXtrade deployments; in those cases, the connector will log the specific rejection reason.
Can I copy DXtrade → MT4?
Not in the current release. DXtrade is the destination platform; the master account must be MT4, MT5, cTrader, or FIX.
Do I need the Bundle for this?
No. The DXtrade Connector works on top of any HFT Forex Copier license that includes at least one master platform (MT4, MT5, cTrader, or FIX).
