Copy-trading on PIPFORGE

How signals from PIPFORGE strategies and TradingView alerts become real orders in your broker account.

What copy-trading does

Copy-trading lets PIPFORGE place the same trade in your broker account that a strategy recommends. The signals you see on the Signals page come from PIPFORGE's own strategies. You can also add TradingView, Telegram or custom webhook alerts as extra signal sources, but those are optional. When any signal arrives, PIPFORGE reads the instrument, direction, entry, stop loss and take profit, runs your guardrails, and sends a real order to your connected broker. Only when the broker confirms the order is the copy-trade marked executed.

Enabling copy-trading

  • Go to /copy-trading and tick 'Enable copy-trading'.
  • Set your max risk per trade, daily loss, drawdown and open-position limits.
  • Connect an execution account in /brokers (MT5, Binance, etc.).
  • For Binance, API credentials are encrypted before they are stored. For MT5, download the bridge EA and keep its chart open.
  • The platform only sends orders while your guardrails are not breached.

Copy-trade statuses

  • pending — the trade is waiting to be sent to the broker (manual 'Run now' or new signal).
  • pending_execution — the order has been sent to the broker or MT5 bridge and is awaiting confirmation.
  • executed — the broker returned an order ID and PIPFORGE recorded it.
  • no_broker — the trade was recognised but no broker is connected yet.
  • closed_win / closed_loss — the signal hit a take profit or stop loss.
  • rejected — the kill-switch, your guardrails, or the broker blocked it. A reason is shown.

Risk warning

Copy-trading sends real orders to your broker. Start in test/sandbox mode, keep position sizes small, and only enable live mode when you understand the risks. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
