Live, not polled
Mirror reacts to each trade the moment MT5 books it, over two independent connections. It does not check in every few seconds and hope nothing was missed. If a connection drops, what happened meanwhile is replayed when it returns.
Why Mirror
Built for the moments that cost brokers money.
Copy trading looks simple until a connection drops mid-session, a trade is copied twice, or a client asks why they were charged. Mirror is built around those moments.
Exactly once
Every copy carries its own key from the moment it is planned. Through reconnects, restarts and a server taking over, a follower trade is placed once, never twice, and never silently dropped.
Every number explained
Why did this client get 0.21 lots? Why was this fee 82.04? Mirror keeps the inputs of every calculation and shows the working, so support answers a client in one click instead of a ticket to IT.
Nothing done behind your back
A trade that reaches Mirror late is held for a dealer to decide, not copied at a stale price and not quietly skipped. Automatic corrections only ever reduce exposure; anything else waits for a person.
The product
One place for the dealing desk, support and administration.
Each team sees what it needs first. Statuses read as sentences, numbers are checkable, and colour only appears when something means it.
Before you choose
Questions to ask any copy-trading platform.
These are the questions that separate a demo from a system you can run a book on. Here is how Mirror answers them.
- What happens to a trade made while the connection is down?
- It is replayed the moment the connection returns, and a second, independent connection usually means there is no gap at all. If it arrives too late to copy at a fair price, a dealer decides; it is never copied stale without asking.
- Can a follower trade ever be placed twice?
- No. Each copy is keyed before it is sent, and an answer lost in transit is checked against MT5 before anything is sent again.
- How quickly does a trade reach a thousand followers?
- The median follower is filled in about a tenth of a second; four hundred follower trades went through in under one second on a live demo server.
- What if a server fails during the trading day?
- A second server on separate hardware is already running and takes over in about five seconds. If a server can still run but loses MT5, it steps aside for the one that can trade.
- Can you show a client exactly why they got this size and this fee?
- Yes, from the stored figures, in plain words: the balances used, the ratio, the rounding to the symbol's step, the profit, the offer and any losses carried forward.
- Do you confirm every fee actually landed in MT5?
- Every fee is matched to its MT5 deal. A refused posting is shown and can be retried; a posted fee can be reversed, with a reason, by a senior administrator.
- Can we try it on our real trades before switching?
- Yes. Mirror runs alongside your current system, plans every copy and sends nothing, and reports the difference every day. You switch one provider at a time when you are satisfied.
- Who can change what, and is it recorded?
- Support, Dealer and Super Admin roles, enforced on the server; authenticator sign-in; and an audit log of every change with who, when, before and after, that nobody can edit.
Features
Everything a broker's copy-trading desk needs.
Copying
- Eight ways to size a copy: same lots, fixed lots, a multiplier, in proportion to balance, equity or free margin, or by the money at risk at the stop loss
- Direct or reverse copying; symbol and direction filters; minimum and maximum volumes
- Stops and targets follow the provider's, and their changes
- Partial closes and adds followed position by position
- Symbol mapping between differently named instruments, with a test button
- Choose what happens to open positions when a client starts, pauses or stops
Risk
- Eleven measures, from drawdown and floating loss to exposure per symbol
- Six actions, from an alert to closing every copy, each optionally followed by unsubscribing
- Limits checked before a copy is placed, not only after
- A rule acts once, then waits for a person to re-arm it
Offers and fees
- Registration and performance fees, per offer
- Charge each trade's profit, or carry losses forward with a high-water mark
- Every change of terms is a new version; clients keep the terms they joined on
- Every fee matched to its MT5 deal, retried if refused, reversible with a reason
Running the desk
- Subscribe one account or many at once: by CSV, MT5 group or template
- Scheduled starts, pauses and expiries, rechecked when they fire
- Alerts in the app and by email, owned, commented and resolved
- The full client list from MT5, kept up to date: 325,000 accounts read in 34 seconds
- Notes on every client, provider and subscription
Reports and records
- Subscriptions, providers, trades, clients, fees, exceptions and audit reports
- Saved views, chosen columns, CSV and Excel, in your time zone
- Every trade's full story: provider and follower tickets, prices, times, who closed it
- Records kept for good: older detail moves to a locked archive, totals stay in the reports
Your CRM and your clients
- A documented API with secure server-to-server access and a typed SDK
- Signed webhooks for every copy, close, fee and risk action, with retries and a delivery log
- Ready-made client widgets in English, Arabic (right to left) and Russian, in your colours
- A sandbox with a simulated market for your developers to build against from day one
Switching
Move over without closing a single client trade.
Switching copy-trading systems is usually the riskiest part. Mirror turns it into a series of small, reversible steps.
- Import. Your existing subscriptions come across from your current system's export, with their sizing, filters and offers, as drafts.
- Shadow run. For one to two weeks Mirror follows your live trades, plans every copy, sends nothing, and reports the difference every day.
- Switch one provider at a time. At a market close, Mirror takes over a provider's open copies where they are. Nothing is closed and reopened.
- At your pace. Until a provider is switched, its followers are untouched. You decide when each one moves.
Operations and security
Run like the trading system it is.
Your own environment
Every broker gets a separate, isolated installation, close to its MT5 server, with its own database and fixed addresses for your whitelist.
Two servers, always
Each copying server reads MT5 on its own connection; if one fails, the other carries on within seconds.
Tested backups
Every week the latest backup is restored to a fresh database and checked, automatically. If it ever fails, you hear about it.
Watched around the clock
Connections, copy delays, quiet providers, refused fees and every server's health raise alerts the moment they matter.
No plugin on your server
Mirror works through MT5's Manager API with its own logins. Nothing is installed on your trading server.
Access you control
Roles enforced on the server, authenticator sign-in, sessions that expire, strict browser security, and an audit log that cannot be edited.
