Trade Copier: What happens when I disable a connection?

Created by Levi Dane, Modified on Tue, 30 Dec, 2025 at 5:30 AM by Levi Dane

Quick answer

Disabling a connection stops new copy actions for that connection.

In most cases:

  • New trades will not be copied.
  • Existing receiver positions usually remain open (unless you close them manually).

Symptoms (when you need this)

  • You disabled a connection and want to know if it closes trades
  • You re-enabled and want to know what resumes

What disabling typically affects

New trades

  • New master entries will not be copied to the receiver.

Close events / modifications

Depending on your platform and settings:

  • Stops/TP modifications may not be copied while disabled.
  • Close events may not be copied while disabled.

What disabling does NOT usually do

  • It does not automatically close trades on the master.
  • It usually does not automatically close receiver trades (unless you explicitly choose a close-all action in settings).

Best practice

If you need to pause copying safely:

  1. Disable the connection
  2. Manually manage or close receiver positions if needed
  3. Re-enable when ready

Verify behavior

  1. Disable the connection
  2. Place a tiny test trade on the master
  3. Confirm in Logs that it was not copied
