Cloud-based MT4/MT5 Trade Copier (Headless, No VPS) — Looking for beta testers & stress-testing

TL;DR: I built a headless MT4/MT5 cloud copier that connects directly at the protocol level (zero VPS or desktop terminal instances required) and scales to 2,000+ concurrent operations. Looking for multi-account traders to help stress-test broker-specific routing edge cases on demo.

Hey everyone,

I’m a backend engineer working on custom MT4/MT5 infrastructure. I built SnapCopier, a cloud-based copier engine designed for high concurrency without running multiple desktop terminals or VPS instances.

Instead of automating desktop GUI clients via local files or DLLs, accounts connect headlessly at the network protocol level, completely bypassing MQL thread locks and Windows resource bloat.

Concurrency & Benchmark Numbers

During recent stress testing with 95 connected accounts simultaneously closing 26 open trades each (~2,470 concurrent operations):

  • Local lab test rig: Internal dispatch scaled from 0.18 ms to 178 ms under peak burst.
  • Dedicated server hardware: Internal engine processing stayed locked flat at 14 ms, even at the 2,400th operation.

(Note: Measures internal engine dispatch time. Total end-to-end latency depends on broker network geography—from where my server is currently deployed, broker RTT has ranged between 30 ms and 200 ms.)

Key Features

  • Cross-platform: MT4 ⇄ MT5 in any direction.
  • Zero local footprint: Fully managed in the cloud; no VPS, no desktop terminals running 24/7.
  • Full order lifecycle sync: Handles partial closes, SL/TP modifications, and split fills.
  • Flexible sizing: Fixed lots, equity/balance risk scaling, multipliers, and optional martingale progression modes.
  • Dynamic symbol mapping: Automated handling of broker suffixes, prefixes, and custom conventions.
  • Security: AES-encrypted credentials at rest; investor (read-only) passwords fully supported for source accounts.

Beta Testing (Demo Recommended)

The beta dashboard is live and completely free to test: https://snapcopier.com

Demo accounts are strongly recommended while testing. I’m specifically looking to expose broker-specific edge cases:

  1. Exotic symbol suffixes (.pro, .ecn, custom broker naming).
  2. Split-fills and partial closes across different broker bridges.
  3. Execution queue behavior during heavy news events.

Feedback, teardowns, and bug reports are very welcome in the comments.
