The setup requires no VPS and works in both directions for brokers and money managers.
Fortex Technologies has partnered with Swiss firm Duplikium to enable copy trading between MetaTrader 4/5 and its Fortex 7 platform, allowing users to replicate trades across systems without requiring a virtual private server or local installation.
The cloud-based setup lets traders, brokers, and prop firms mirror positions in either direction – from MT4/5 to Fortex 7 or vice versa. Users register through Duplikium’s website, input their account credentials for both platforms, and configure parameters like execution settings and risk preferences. Trades are then copied in real time.
For brokerages and proprietary trading firms, the functionality addresses a common pain point: moving clients from MetaTrader to alternative platforms. The integration allows MT4/5 users to maintain their existing workflows while executing on Fortex 7, potentially reducing friction during platform migrations.
Money managers can also use the two-way copying to distribute strategies across both ecosystems simultaneously, reaching traders who prefer either platform.
Fortex claims this functionality will assist firms in “reducing friction” during platform transitions. The company is positioning the integration as a tool for scaling strategy distribution and retaining traders who might otherwise leave if forced to switch platforms.
For Fortex, these are two product developments following the company’s partnership with OKX exchange several months ago to offer crypto trading through MetaTrader 5. Earlier, the technology provider updated its high-frequency trading tools within its proprietary platform.
Fortex’s integration with Duplikium comes as copy trading experiences a broader resurgence across the brokerage industry. The global social trading market is projected to grow from $2.43 billion in 2024 to $3.51 billion dollars by 2029, according to industry estimates. Search interest for copy trading has risen between 22% and 38% year-over-year.
Several competitors have rolled out new offerings in recent weeks. RoboForex last week launched an upgraded Copy Trading Service that replaces its earlier CopyFX platform, integrating the feature more tightly into its main ecosystem while simplifying how users discover and compare trading strategies.
Multi-asset broker Versus Trade also debuted a copy trading service in partnership with Brokeree Solutions, joining the wave of firms adding social investing tools to capture retail demand.
Perhaps most notably, Robinhood appears to have reversed its stance on copy trading. The company had previously warned about regulatory risks posed by platforms enabling users to monitor and replicate trades from successful investors – but now seems ready to enter the space itself.
Fortex, founded in 1997, operates a multi-asset trading platform used by regional banks, hedge funds, and broker-dealers. Duplikium specializes in low-latency trade-copying infrastructure and markets itself to firms seeking to scale copy trading operations without heavy technical overhead.
The companies did not disclose financial terms of the partnership or how many clients have adopted the feature since launch.
