Troubleshooting Issues with Copiers, Expert Advisors (EAs), and Stop-Loss Placement
Copiers and EAs:
If you are using a trade copier or EA to manage your trades, there may be instances where trades are not copied instantaneously. This delay can trigger our No Stop-Loss (SL) rule, which may prevent trades from being placed properly.
(Note : EAs are allowed only on Challenge Accounts on TradeLocker and cTrader but not on Funded Accounts)
Steps to Troubleshoot:
Check Copier Performance:
Log in to the backend of your copier to ensure trades are being copied in real-time. If you notice delays, there are steps you can take to improve the process.
Ensure Immediate Execution:
Make sure that the copier is copying Stop-Loss (SL) and Take-Profit (TP) orders instantly to avoid triggering rule violations.
Set Your TOT Account as the Master Account:
Ensure the EA you’re using is executing the Stop-Loss when the trade is placed on your Top One Trader (TOT) account, making it your master account for more precise execution.
Consider Upgrading to the "No Stop-Loss" Option:
If you experience delays in copying trades from other accounts, consider upgrading to the No Stop-Loss add-on, especially if you're working with different brokers where trade feed delays may occur.
Recommendation:
If you plan to use a trade copier, we highly recommend adding the "No Stop-Loss" add-on to your account when making your purchase to avoid issues caused by trade execution delays.
