Every copier can mirror a trade. The hard part is everything around it: what happens when a strategy goes into drawdown, how much of your account one signal is allowed to touch, and whether you can find out — precisely — why a trade did or didn’t reach you.
4X Solutions applies risk at four levels — your account’s drawdown, your account’s exposure, each individual position, and each signal you follow. A copied trade has to clear all four.
Three thresholds you set per account, measured from your account’s high-water mark. Each level acts, not just alerts:
Drawdown is computed on a normalised balance, so deposits and withdrawals don’t distort the picture. Top up your account and your drawdown maths stays honest; withdraw profits and you don’t suddenly appear to be in drawdown. You can also deliberately re-base the high-water mark after a deposit for a clean start.
A stop that depends on one component being healthy isn’t a stop. The Hard Stop is enforced in three independent places:
And a watchdog monitors the monitors: an account with stop levels configured that stops reporting its checks is flagged — a silently broken safety check surfaces instead of masquerading as an absence of breaches.
Breach notifications fire once per level — not on every revaluation while you sit in drawdown. Recover fully and breach again, and you’re told again. Signal, not noise.
Every signal you follow gets its own independent settings:
Allocate a capital budget to each signal you follow. Open risk and realised losses both draw against it; when the budget is spent, copying that signal stops — while everything else on your account carries on. Try a new provider with strictly bounded downside.
Start following a signal with positions already open, and choose: copy none of the existing positions (only new trades), all of them, or drawdown only — join only the positions currently underwater, entering at better prices than the signal itself did.
Suspend a following without deleting its configuration. Set trade timeouts. Reverse-copy a signal — every trade in the opposite direction. Restrict an account to a whitelist of instruments. Copy the provider’s stops and targets, or manage your own. Mirror pending orders, or fills only.
We record every trade that isn’t copied.
Any trade that doesn’t reach your account is written to a missed-trade record with the specific reason and timestamp: instrument not permitted, following suspended, soft stop active, hard stop active, capital-to-risk budget exhausted, below minimum equity, sizing failure.
“Why didn’t I get that trade?” is answerable — per trade, per account, with a reason and a time. If you run money for others, this is the difference between an assertion and an answer.
Every control on this page is wired into the notification matrix: pick your events, pick your channels — email, SMS, or HMAC-signed webhooks into your own systems — per trading account. Trade opened, closed, modified; account disconnected; a trade missed and why; a manual approval waiting for you.
One deliberate exception to opt-in: manual-approval emails are on by default, because you can’t act on a trade you were never told about.
No further trades are copied, and open positions are closed out. The stop is enforced in three independent places, including on every price tick — an account drifting into breach while holding positions is stopped without waiting for a new signal.
No. Drawdown is measured on a normalised balance, so cash movements don’t register as gains or losses. You can also deliberately re-base the high-water mark after a top-up.
Yes — Capital to Risk sets a per-signal budget. Open risk and realised losses draw against it, and copying stops when it’s exhausted, without affecting anything else on your account.
Yes — Maximum Drawdown Per Trade closes any individual position past its own drawdown limit while the account keeps trading.
Every refused or filtered trade is recorded with its specific reason and timestamp.
Four levels of protection, enforced server-side, running on infrastructure that has copied trades for 18 years across 50,000+ connected accounts.
