Dubai, UAE – June 3, 2026 – Managing multiple trading accounts often requires balancing execution accuracy, risk management, broker compatibility, and platform-specific requirements. The latest release of Local Trade Copier for MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) introduces several new features designed to help traders address these challenges more effectively.
Rimantas Petrauskas has announced the release of Local Trade Copier Version 3.0.0, a significant update that expands execution controls, introduces additional trade protection options, and improves compatibility across a wider range of trading environments.
The software is used by forex traders, proprietary trading firm participants, money managers, and signal providers who need to synchronize positions between multiple MetaTrader accounts.
A key focus of Version 3.0.0 is execution flexibility.
The release introduces a new Manual-Like Execution Mode that allows copied trades to be opened through the MetaTrader order window. As a result, copied positions can appear as manually placed trades rather than displaying the standard “placed by expert” designation associated with automated trading systems.
The functionality also supports placing Stop Loss and Take Profit levels during trade entry. This can be particularly useful in environments where brokers permit trade placement but impose restrictions on automated trade management after the position has been opened.
“Trading environments have become increasingly diverse over the past few years,” said Rimantas Petrauskas, founder of Local Trade Copier. “Traders are often managing multiple brokers, prop firms, and account types simultaneously. Version 3.0.0 was developed to provide additional flexibility while maintaining the reliability required for professional account synchronization.”
Another major area of development involves trade execution timing.
The update introduces configurable Random Trade Entry Delays and Random Trade Close Delays. Rather than executing every copied trade at exactly the same moment, the software can now randomly select a delay value within a user-defined range before opening or closing positions.
In addition, a new Stop Loss and Take Profit copy mode can automatically increase SL and TP distances by a random number of points.
These features can create natural differences between master and client accounts, including variations in entry prices, exit prices, entry timing, exit timing, Stop Loss placement, and Take Profit placement.
When combined with Manual-Like Execution Mode, traders gain multiple ways to reduce identical execution patterns while continuing to follow the same underlying trading strategy.
The release also introduces a new Trade Protection Requirement feature aimed at improving operational risk management.
Traders can now require positions to contain a Stop Loss, Take Profit, or both before Local Trade Copier is permitted to copy them.
This feature helps address a common challenge faced by traders managing multiple accounts. If a trade is accidentally opened without a Stop Loss on the master account, Local Trade Copier can prevent that trade from being replicated across client accounts.
The functionality may also assist traders operating under proprietary trading firm rules that require trades to be protected with a Stop Loss at the time of entry.
“Risk management remains one of the most important aspects of successful trading,” Petrauskas added. “The Trade Protection Requirement feature was developed to help traders enforce their own rules automatically and reduce the impact of avoidable mistakes.”
Version 3.0.0 also includes several platform-level improvements.
The release resolves MT5 Error 4756, an issue that prevented successful trade copying on certain MetaTrader 5 brokers. Improvements have also been made to MT5 trading session detection, helping ensure that instruments are correctly identified as available for trading.
To simplify configuration, all calculations within Local Trade Copier now use points rather than pips. This change removes the need for custom pip conversion settings and aligns the software more closely with the values displayed directly within MetaTrader.
The update also introduces a unified version numbering system. Beginning with Version 3.0.0, both MT4 and MT5 editions of Local Trade Copier will share the same version number, making future updates easier to identify and track.
Key enhancements included in Local Trade Copier Version 3.0.0:
- Manual-Like Execution Mode
• Random Trade Entry Delays
• Random Trade Close Delays
• Trade Protection Requirement
• Randomized Stop Loss and Take Profit Adjustments
• MT5 Error 4756 Compatibility Fix

Local Trade Copier continues to support traders who require reliable trade synchronization across multiple MetaTrader accounts, including personal accounts, managed accounts, funded accounts, and algorithmic trading environments.
