Overview
Copy mode lets Kintech_EA copy the orders of a KintechAsia master account to your MT5 account. You choose a copy signal from the list KintechAsia publishes and choose the lot size. Every new order of the master is copied, and when the master closes a chain your copies close too.
Your settings stay on your computer. To prepare copy reports, the EA sends your balance, equity and trade history to the KintechAsia server.
Requirements
- MetaTrader 5 (desktop, Windows) that stays online - a VPS is recommended.
- A Hedging account. Netting accounts are refused.
- An active Kintech license for the account number. Demo accounts get a trial automatically.
- The Kintech_EA.ex5 file.
1. Install the EA and allow the server
- In MT5 open File > Open Data Folder > MQL5 > Experts and copy Kintech_EA.ex5 there. Then right-click Expert Advisors in the Navigator and choose Refresh.
- Open Tools > Options > Expert Advisors, tick Allow algorithmic trading and Allow WebRequest for listed URL, and add: - https://kintech.asia
- Make sure the Algo Trading button on the toolbar is green.
2. Attach the EA to a chart
- Open the chart of the same instrument as the master, for example XAUUSD. The name may differ at your broker (XAUUSD.m, XAUUSDc...) - use your broker's gold symbol.
- Drag Kintech_EA onto the chart. Common tab: tick Allow Algo Trading.
- Inputs tab:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| License server | https://kintech.asia |
| Mode | Copy |
| Panel | true |
- Press OK. The panel opens on the SETTINGS tab the first time.
Use only one chart per account for copying. If a second Copy EA is attached for the same account (another chart or terminal), it shows STANDBY and does nothing until the first one is removed.
3. Settings (SETTINGS tab)
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| COPY SIGNAL | Click the box to open the list of copy signals (scroll with ▲ ▼, the bar or the mouse wheel): code, price (FREE or $/month), symbol and your payment status. Click a row to choose it. The line below shows the signal name, the master balance and your balance. RELOAD loads the list again |
| START COPY FROM LEVEL | 1 = copy every order of each master chain. 5 = start copying from the 5th order of the chain (1 - 50) |
| COPIED LOT | DEFAULT: lot from the master lot and the lot mode below. DECREASE TO MIN LOT: see below |
| LOT MODE | MULTIPLIER: master lot x value. BALANCE RATIO: master lot x (your balance / master balance) x value |
| LOT VALUE | The value used by the lot mode (above 0, max 100) |
| NEWS FILTER | You decide whether to copy around news. OFF = copy through the news. NO NEW CHAINS = around High and Medium news of the symbol's currencies, new master chains are not copied (skipped for good); chains being copied still follow the master. NO NEW CHAINS + NO ADD = also no new levels: levels the master opens in that time are skipped for good, later levels are copied again. Closes always follow the master. Stop ... min before / ... min after = how long before and after the news (whole minutes, 0 = none). The news list is in the tab NEWS |
| TRADING HOURS | OFF = copy all day. ON + Start / Stop (hh:mm, this computer's time, shown next to the title) = new master chains are copied only between Start and Stop, every trading day until you change it. Master chains that open outside the hours are skipped for good; chains being copied keep following the master (new levels too) until they close. Overnight works too, for example Start 22:00 / Stop 06:00 |
| DAILY LOSS LIMIT | OFF = no limit. ON + Max loss (a % of the balance at 00:00 broker time, or an amount in the account currency) = when the loss of the copied orders on this chart today (closed + open) reaches the limit, no new master chains are copied until 00:00 broker time, even if the loss recovers or you restart the EA. Chains being copied keep following the master until they close (Copy has no CLOSE ALL here: closing copies while the master still trades would break the copy) |
Press SAVE & APPLY. CANCEL discards changes that are not saved.
- Paid signal: the EA asks you to confirm, then shows WAIT PAYMENT and copies no new chains. Pay via Telegram @kintechasia_official or @kintechasia_backup (send your account number and the signal code). As soon as KintechAsia confirms the payment, copying starts by itself and runs until the paid months end. When they end (EXPIRED), chains being copied keep following the master until they close; new chains are not copied.
Lot and start-level changes apply to new master chains. Chains that are already being copied keep the settings they started with.
Lot examples
| Setting | Master order | Your order |
|---|---|---|
| Multiplier, value 0.5 | 0.04 | 0.02 |
| Multiplier, value 2 | 0.03 | 0.06 |
| Balance ratio, value 1 - your balance 5,000, master 10,000 | 0.10 | 0.05 |
| Decrease to min lot, start level 5 - master levels 5 / 6 / 7 are 0.02 / 0.03 / 0.04 | 0.02 / 0.03 / 0.04 | 0.01 / 0.02 / 0.02 |
Lots are rounded to your broker's lot step. A lot below the broker minimum becomes the minimum lot.
Decrease to min lot works like the virtual orders of Direct mode: the start level opens with the broker's minimum lot (for example 0.01), and the next levels grow with the same ratio as the master's lots. The lot mode is not used.
4. How copying works
- Only new chains. When you start copying, chains the master already has open are skipped. Copying starts with the next chain the master opens.
- Same number of orders. Every new master order (from your start level) is copied, whatever the price difference. If the connection drops, missing orders are opened when it is back.
- Closing follows the master. When the master closes or clears a chain, your copied orders of that chain are closed together, at the same moment.
- Margin. If there is not enough free margin, the order is retried after 60 seconds and the problem is written in ERROR LOGS.
- Your other orders are never touched. The EA only manages its own copied orders.
Do not close a copied order by hand while the master still holds it - the EA opens it again to match the master.
5. Read the COPY tab
- Header: source name and status.
- Info line: source code, lot settings, start level and magic number.
- MASTER: orders open on the master. COPIED: your copied orders / master orders you follow. P/L: profit of your copied orders. SERVER: time since the last server answer.
- TODAY / WEEK / OPEN / MAX DD (WEEK): results of this chart's Kintech EA orders, in broker time. TODAY and WEEK = profit / loss since 00:00 today and since Monday 00:00 (closed + open orders). OPEN = open chains · total lots. MAX DD (WEEK) = the deepest floating loss of this chart this week; it is kept when you restart the EA and starts again each Monday.
- DISABLE COPY / ENABLE COPY button.

NEWS tab. The economic calendar of the week for the currencies of the chart symbol, in this computer's time. A dot shows the level: red = High, orange = Medium, grey = Low (Low news is only shown, it never stops trading). Past news is dimmed; upcoming news shows a countdown. The card at the top shows your NEWS FILTER and the current or next stop, for example *Stopped now until 20:45 · USD Core CPI m/m*. Scroll with ▲ ▼ or the mouse wheel. The list comes from the KintechAsia server and updates by itself.
Update available. When KintechAsia publishes a newer Kintech EA, a gold Update x.yy button appears in the title bar of the panel. Click it to see the download link. Download the new EA, replace the old Kintech_EA.ex5 (File > Open Data Folder > MQL5 > Experts) and attach the EA again: your panel settings stay on this computer.
6. Stop copying (DISABLE COPY)
- Press DISABLE COPY and confirm.
- Status STOPPING: no new chains are copied. Chains being copied keep following the master - new levels are still copied - until the master closes them. This protects you from holding an incomplete chain when the master closes it.
- When no copied order is left, the status becomes STOPPED and the EA stops contacting the copy source.
- Press ENABLE COPY to copy again. Only chains that the master opens after that moment are copied.
ENABLE COPY is locked while the status is STOPPING. It becomes available once every copied order is closed.
7. Change the copy signal
Choose another signal in SETTINGS and press SAVE & APPLY. One signal per account: if copied orders are still open, the EA asks you to confirm.
- No copied order open: the EA switches at once.
- Copied orders open: status SWITCHING. The old signal gets no new chains, its chains being copied keep following the master until they close, then the EA switches to the new signal by itself. Choose the old signal again to cancel the switch.
8. How copied orders look
- Comment: KintechCopy-XAUUSD01|5 = symbol, slot 01, level 5 of the master chain. The KintechCopy prefix marks copied orders.
- Magic number: 9 + your account number + 99 + slot. Do not change it.
9. ERROR LOGS
Short connection drops are listed as info lines in ERROR LOGS; problems that last more than about 10 seconds are marked as problems.
| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| No connection to the server | Add the server address to WebRequest (step 1) and check the internet |
| Network error 1003 ... retrying | The connection dropped - the EA retries by itself |
| copy source ... does not exist | The signal was removed - choose another one in SETTINGS |
| Not enough margin to copy ... | Retried after 60 seconds - add funds or lower the lot |
| ... master order(s) not copied for ...s | Check Algo Trading, free margin and the lines above (for example Not enough margin) |
