Start Here: Set Up DaneTrades Cloud and Make Your First Copy

This guide is for DaneTrades Cloud. You do not need to install an EA, keep a personal PC running or manage your own Windows VPS.

Before you start

You need:

a DaneTrades account;
at least two paid account licences;
one source account or Telegram source;
one receiver trading account on a supported platform.

Account licences cost $10 per connected trading account per month, with a minimum of two accounts for $20 per month. Creating your DaneTrades user account is free. There is no free cloud copier trial and no yearly plan.

1. Add the accounts

Open Trading Accounts and choose Add Account.

Add the source first, then the receiver. Supported trading platforms are MT4, MT5, TradeLocker, DXtrade, MatchTrader and cTrader. Telegram can be added as a signal source.

Wait until each trading account shows Connected before creating the copier. A connected broker account may briefly continue loading its symbol list before it can be selected for a copier.

2. Create the copier

Open Copiers and create a connection.

Select the account that creates the trade as the source.
Select the account that should follow it as the receiver.
Start with one receiver and simple sizing.
Save the copier and confirm its status is Copying.

If the copier shows Setup needed or Mapping needed, complete the shown setup before testing.

3. Check symbol mapping

Different brokers may use different names for the same market. Examples include GOLD and XAUUSD, or NAS100 and USTEC.

Review Symbol Mapping on the copier. Confirm that the source symbol points to the exact receiver symbol.

4. Make a small test

Use a demo account or the smallest sensible test size.

Place one simple market trade on the source. Avoid testing several symbols or settings at once.

5. Verify in Trade activity

Open Trade activity and find the test.

A successful test should show:

the correct source and receiver;
the expected symbol and direction;
the expected size;
the outcome Copied.

If the trade was not copied, expand the item and follow the displayed reason. Keep its public reference ID if you need support.

First-test checklist

Both accounts show Connected.
The copier shows Copying.
The source and receiver are the correct way round.
The symbol is mapped.
The sizing mode is understood.
The receiver has enough free margin.
Trade activity confirms the outcome.

Do not scale after one test

Test several small trades and more than one intended symbol before increasing size or adding more receivers. A correct first copy proves the basic route, not every broker rule or symbol combination.
