If you are using a trade copier or Expert Advisor (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, not on Funded Accounts.
Steps to troubleshoot
Step | What to do |
1. 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. |
2. Ensure immediate execution | Make sure that the copier is copying Stop-Loss (SL) and Take-Profit (TP) orders instantly to avoid triggering rule violations. |
3. Set your TOT account as the master account | Ensure the EA you are 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. |
4. Consider the "No Stop-Loss" add-on | If you experience delays in copying trades from other accounts, consider upgrading to the No Stop-Loss add-on, especially if you are 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.
