Stop-loss & take-profit modes

Control how stop-loss and take-profit carry from the sender to each receiver — inherited, fixed distance, or refined by a set amount.

Each receiver decides how the sender's stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) carry over. You set these on the receiver's SL & TP tab. Copy Stop Loss and Copy Take Profit are independent toggles — both on by default — and each uses the same three modes.

The SL & TP tab — independent Copy Stop Loss and Copy Take Profit toggles, each with a mode selector.

The three modes

Inherited

Copies the sender's exact SL or TP price.

Example (SL) — sender opens BUY EURUSD at 1.1000 with SL 1.0950. The receiver's trade also uses SL 1.0950.

Fixed

Every copied trade uses the same distance you set, regardless of the sender's. Distance is measured in pips for Forex and ticks for Futures.

Example (SL, 30 pips) — sender opens BUY EURUSD at 1.1000 with a 40-pip SL. The receiver opens at 1.1000 with SL 1.0970 — exactly 30 pips.

Example (TP, 40 pips) — sender's TP is 60 pips out. The receiver's TP is set 40 pips out instead.

Refined

Takes the sender's distance and adjusts it by a number of pips you choose:

  • Increase widens the level (more room).

  • Decrease tightens it (closer in).

Example (SL, decrease by 5) — sender's SL is 30 pips out → receiver's SL distance becomes 25 pips.

Example (TP, increase by 10) — sender's TP is 40 pips out → receiver's TP distance becomes 50 pips.

Choosing a mode

Mode
Use it when

Inherited

You want the receiver to mirror the sender's risk exactly.

Fixed

You want a consistent SL/TP distance across all trades, independent of the sender.

Refined

You broadly trust the sender's levels but want slightly more or less room on this account.

If you size receivers with Fixed % Risk, a stop-loss must exist for the lot calculation to work — keep Copy Stop Loss on, or set a fixed SL distance here.
