Filters Guide

Filters explained

Filters are one of the biggest reasons a trade copies only sometimes or not at all. They are useful, but they can also create intentional blocks that look like random failures if you forget they are enabled.

Quick answer

If copying is inconsistent, first check whether a filter blocked the event. Logs are the fastest way to confirm that before you change platform connections or risk rules.

Current filter types in the app

  • Include or exclude symbols: allow only specific symbols or block specific symbols entirely.
  • Require Stop Loss or Take Profit: ignore trades that do not include the required protection.
  • Allowed trading days: copy only on selected days of the week.
  • Allowed trading sessions: limit copying to selected UTC session windows.
  • Time range: permit copying only between selected start and end times in a selected timezone.
  • Economic news filters: block or close around high-impact news windows.

How to use news filters carefully

Blocking new trades around high-impact news is often reasonable. Blocking close or modify events is more sensitive because it can interfere with exits or management at the exact moment you need them.

How to verify a filter caused the result

  1. Open Logs around the failed event.
  2. Look for a filter-related block or rule message.
  3. Open the connection in Copiers and review the Filters section.
  4. Temporarily disable the suspected filter, retest once, then restore the intended rule more carefully.

Best practice

  • Start with minimal filters for the first verified connection.
  • Add only the filter that solves a clear problem.
  • Retest after each meaningful filter change instead of editing several at once.
