The cap on free usage of the Internet Trade Mirror has been raised from 5 subscribers to 20 subscribers with immediate effect.
There is also an updated version of the receiver EA also with a new StopTradingAtDrawdownPercent parameter. This is similar to the existing StopTradingBelowEquity parameter, but stops trading activity when floating P/L exceeds the specified percentage of account balance.
A new version of the Personal Trade Copier is available.
A single sender EA can now send trades to multiple receivers. It is no longer necessary to run a separate sender for each receiver. For example, you can enter "Receiver1,Receiver2" as the Channel parameter for the sender, and that single EA will then broadcast messages to the receiver EAs with the Channel parameters "Receiver1" and "Receiver2".
The receiver EA also has a new StopTradingAtDrawdownPercent parameter. This is similar to the existing StopTradingBelowEquity parameter, but stops trading activity when floating P/L exceeds the specified percentage of account balance.

The Personal Trade Copier and Internet Trade Mirror have both been updated.
Both applications now have a BuySellOnly parameter which controls whether the copying will place long/short orders, and both also have MaxOpenOrders_Total and MaxOpenOrders_FromCopier parameters for controlling the number of open/pending orders.
A new version of the Publisher EA for MetaTrader 5 is available. This has been updated to work with the new build 555 of MT5 which is (yet again) not backward-compatible with existing EAs.
The Personal Trade Copier and Internet Trade Mirror have both been updated.
The Personal Trade Copier has gained better support for unusual partial-close handling on some brokers, plus extra logging.
The Internet Trade Mirror has the same changes, plus a fix for a bug in the receiver when the sender is broadcasting a relatively large list of open orders.
A new version of the Publisher EA for MetaTrader 5 is available. This has been updated to work with the new build 540 of MT5 which is (again) not backward-compatible with existing EAs.
Several more brokers have been added recently to the list available for use with account sync. The additions include PFG Best, Prime Bank Forex, Excel, GrandCapital, UnitedForex, SynergyFX, TradeFort, and WorldPro.
In addition to setting a PIN on your account, you can also now restrict access to specific MT4i users. If you turn on this new feature, people can only see your results if they are logged in to an MT4i account on the "white-list" which you set up.
To use this new feature, log in to your account and use the new settings in the "Report PIN and/or access list" section.
You can now add social-networking links to your results, helping to publicise your trading activity. This new option adds Facebook, Twitter, and Google +1 links to your statement and stats pages.
To turn on the links, log in to your account and use the new setting in the "System description, and publication options" section.
You can now choose between the traditional statement view versus a tabbed version which makes it easier to navigate the order history on large accounts. (The tabbed version is already in use for portfolios, and is also used automatically on accounts with more than 10,000 orders in their history).
The tabbed view also provides more flexible sorting of orders, and allows the order history to be filtered to pick out particular entries.
In addition, you can insert your own web content into the tabbed view. For example, you can add a tab promoting yourself, your EA, or just containing further information about the results you are publishing.
To turn on the tabbed view, log in to your account and use the new settings in the "System description, and publication options" section.
MT4i has moved to a new datacentre this morning. Everything should transfer seamlessly, but please do let us know if you are having any problems with any aspect of the site.
Several more brokers have been added recently to the list available for use with account sync. The additions include Cantor Fitzgerald, Vantage FX, CollectiveFX, ILQ, UWC, Forex4You (EGlobal), and new servers for Pepperstone.
Following the huge popularity of MT4i's Personal Trade Copier, we have now launched the Internet Trade Mirror: free trade copying over the internet between different computers running MetaTrader 4.
The Internet Trade Mirror has all the functionality which has attracted thousands of users of the Personal Trade Copier. Senders can control which trades are broadcast. Receivers can control which trades are copied, and can alter lot sizing and other risk settings, and can even invert the direction of the sender's trades. The Mirror automatically converts between 2DP/4DP and 3DP/5DP brokers, and between different broker symbol names such as EURUSD and EURUSDcx. The Mirror supports partial closes, market execution, and allows the receiver to control slippage or simply place all orders at market.
The Internet Trade Mirror is currently in beta and restricted to 5 subscribers per account. Please contact us for an increased limit, or for a version of the software which you can run from your own server.
New versions of the Publisher EAs for MT4 and MT5 are now available.
The new MT4 EA builds its results faster, particularly on accounts with large numbers of trades in their history, and uses a different publication mechanism with better support for Linux servers which are running MT4 and other Windows software through an emulator.
The new MT5 EAs (32-bit and 64-bit) also use the new publication mechanism, and add support for text containing non-ANSI characters (e.g. Cyrillic broker names).
Both EAs continue to allow publication of results as frequently as every minute, with immediate re-publication following new trading activity.

There is an updated version of the Personal Trade Copier which allows custom symbol mapping between brokers. For example, if the sending broker refers to spot gold as GOLD, and the receiving broker uses XAUUSD, then you can now define rules which convert between the different symbol names.
The new version of the Personal Trade Copier also allows trade direction to be inverted, so that a buy on the sender account becomes a sell on the receiver account etc.
The "EA" tab of the Stats page has become the "Strategy" tab, because of the addition of a new feature: Strategy Tags.
Strategy Tags let you analyse manual trading, or automated systems which use each order's comment to distinguish between different strategies. You create tags which match part or all of an order comment, and the Strategy tab then automatically updates each time your results are published.
You don't need to manually assign tags to each trade after publishing your results. You set up your tags once, and the system does all the work for you after that, based on the comment you enter when placing each trade.

Several more brokers have been added recently to the list available for use with account sync. The additions include FIG-FX, Traders Trust, UpFX, TyTradium, GCI, and additional servers for ODL and MIG.
There is an updated version of the Personal Trade Copier which allows filtering of orders based on the order comment. In other words, you can choose only to copy some of the trades on the sending account, based on the comment for the order as well as its magic number and symbol.
ForexPros.com has been added as a news provider in Connect. Their news feeds are available in 11 different languages.
Several more brokers have been added recently to the list available for use with account sync. The additions include IntelFX, Finexo, STS, Admiral, Inovatrade, FBS, and Sunbird.
The look of the MT4i site has changed a little over this weekend.
The new design creates a little extra space on screen, and also loads slightly faster on all desktop browsers. (It also now loads much faster on devices such as iPhones, though please note that there is a special version of the site for mobile devices.)
The filtering on order comments has been extended to allow exact matches.
You can now start a match with = to mean "this exact, case-sensitive comment". For example, =MyEA will only match against the order comment "MyEA", and not against "myea" or "myea v1".
You can combine this with other matches in a comma-separated list. For example, =MyEA,/MyEA2 will match against the order comment "MyEA" or any comments which start with "MyEA2".
For more information about filtering on order comments, please click here.
The Javascript API now includes a list of open and pending orders. You can use this new data to build lists of orders for display on your own website.
Several more brokers have been added recently to the list available for use with account sync. The additions include Hantec, ThinkForex, Divisa, Fienex (FXCBS), and Pepperstone.
You can now choose to hide your entire order list on MT4i, so that visitors can only see statistics, not the individual orders.
To turn this on, log into your MT4i Live account and turn on the setting "Make your order list private". You can also change this setting from the account sync page.
If you only want to hide open and/or pending orders, not closed orders, then you can continue to do this using the settings in our Publisher EA or the account sync settings.
You can now filter results based on order comments, in addition to the existing options to filter by date, lot size, symbol, direction etc.
(You need to be publishing your order comments in order to use this facility. If you are using the MT4/MT5 publisher EAs then you need to turn on the "PublishOrderComments" parameter. If you are using account sync then the "Publish order comments" option is turned on by default.)
The text you enter is matched against any part of the order comment. For example, "close" matches against either of the comments "partial close" or "close by hedge". If you only want to match against the start of the order comment, then use / at the start of the text, e.g. "/close".
You can also specify different comments, separated by commas. For example, "close,/partial" matches against any order comments which contain "close", or against any comments which start with "partial". And you can preface the whole list with ! to mean "all orders except those matching this list of comments".
MT4i's Competitions system is now officially out of beta. However, we will be continuing to add further features to the system over the coming weeks based on the valuable feedback we have received from users.
Please note that the rules have changed regarding deposits and withdrawals during a competition. Previously, competitors were disqualified if they made deposits or withdrawals during a competition, though this was not enforced during the beta period. The new rule is that deposits and withdrawals are allowed, but they are treated as though they were made at the start of the competition. In other words, growth is calculated as: current equity / (starting equity + deposits)
Several more brokers have been added recently to the list available for use with account sync. The additions include FXPrimus, RoboForex, Goldstein, plus extra servers from GoMarkets and HotForex.
FXStreet (http://www.fxstreet.com/) has been added to the list of news providers in MT4i Connect.
A new version of the Personal Trade Copier is available. The new version provides better support for Oanda accounts where the order comment is automatically modified by Oanda.
