General Tab
- Channel Filter – If you have multiple channels selected but you don’t want to copy from a specific channel for this instance then enter the channel name and enable. You can input multiple channel names but seperating them with a comma. i.e Channel Name 1,Channel Name 2
- Symbol Suffix – If the symbol in Tradelocker has a suffix i.e GBPUSD.r you will need to add the suffix. In this example you would add ‘.r’ to suffix field
- Symbol Prefix – If the symbol in Tradelocker has a prefix i.e a.GBPUSD you will need to add the prefix. In this example you would add ‘.a’ to prefix field
- Exclude Symbols – Any symbol added to this list will NOT be copied. You can enter multiple by seperating with a comma. For example, GBPUSD, EURUSD, XAUUSD
- Symbol Mapping – If your signal provider uses the symbol BRENT but in your Broker it is called USOIL you can make a symbol mapping. In this case it would be [BRENT=OIL]. Now when the signal is sent the word BRENT will be swapped for USOIL and the trade can be copied. To add multiple mappings separate by a comma. For example [BRENT=OIL],[GOLD=XAUUSD]
- Remove words – Any words or phrases in this list will be removed from the signal. For example in this field you have ‘Trade is in profit’. Original message = XAUUSD Trade is in profit Go Breakeven. Modified Signal = XAUUSD Go Breakeven

- TP2 Risk Share (%) – How much of the Risk will be allocated to TP2. For example you risk 5 lots. TP2 is set to 20%. TP2 lot size will be 25% of the 5 risk lots. So will be 1 lot for TP2
- TP3 Risk Share (%) – How much of the Risk will be allocated to TP3. For example you risk 1% overall. TP3 is set to 25%. TP3 lot size will be 25% of the risk amount 1%. So will be 0.25%
- Override TP1 (Pips from entry) – Ignore the TP in the signal and set your own TP. A value of 20 would set TP1 at 20 pips away from the entry price

- Override TP3 (Pips from entry) – Ignore the TP in the signal and set your own TP. A value of 60 would set TP3 at 60 pips away from the entry price
- Override SL (Pips from entry) – Ignore the SL in the signal and set your own SL. A value of 20 would set SL at 20 pips away from the entry price
