• ========================================

In Copier Mode, an account selection button is displayed on the chart:

• [Collapsed State]
• ┌──────────────────┐
• │ ▼ Account: 38016863 │ ← Click to expand account list
• └──────────────────┘

• [Expanded State]
• ┌──────────────────┐
• │ ▼ Account: 38016863 │ ← Click to collapse
• ├──────────────────┤
• │ ● 38016863 │ ← Current Account (Green)
• ├──────────────────┤
• │ ○ 07197 │ ← Available Account (Blue)
• ├──────────────────┤
• │ ○ 4555 │ ← Available Account (Blue)
• └──────────────────┘

• Button Color Legend:
• Green = Connected to a valid Provider account
• Orange = No account selected
• Grey = No available accounts (Provider EA not running)

• Note:
• - The list only shows accounts with normal signals (data updated within 60 seconds)
• - Account list automatically refreshes every 10 seconds
• - When Provider EA stops running, that account automatically disappears from the list

• ========================================
• 6. Two-Way Synchronized Closing
• ========================================

When "Two-Way Sync Close Switch = true" is enabled:

Direction 1 (Normal Copying):
Provider account closes order → Copier account automatically closes trade

Direction 2 (Reverse Synchronization):
Copier account closes trade manually → Provider account automatically closes matching trade

• Use Case:
• When the Copier account needs to take profit or stop loss early,
• the Provider account will perform the same close order action simultaneously.

• ========================================
• 7. On-Chart Status Indicator Guide
• ========================================

The current operational status is displayed in the top-left corner of the chart:

• Message Color Meaning
• ------------------------------------------------------------

• Provider running normally... Blue Provider operating normally
• Not connected to Provider Red Provider signal not found
• Provider data not updated Red Provider signal not updated for >5 seconds
• Incomplete Provider data sent Red Provider signal format error
• Provider EA version mismatch Red Provider EA version mismatch

• Troubleshooting:
• Red Indicator → Check if Provider EA is running normally
• Blue Indicator → Normal status; no action required

• 1. MT5 Account: Attach MT4-MT5-Cross-Copy-Close.ex5, set to Provider Mode
• 2. MT4 Account: Attach MT4-MT5-Cross-Copy-Close.ex4, set to Copier Mode

• 4. Copier Account 3: Attach EA, Magic Number = 3
• Note: Magic Numbers across multiple Copier EAs must be unique

• [Scenario 4: Cross-Platform Copying with Different Symbol Names]
• Example: Provider symbol is XAUUSD, Copier symbol is XAUUSDm
• Configuration method:
• __Symbol Suffix = m
• OR
• Symbol Mapping = XAUUSD|XAUUSDm

• [Scenario 5: Manual Close Synchronization]
• 1. Set Two-Way Sync Close Switch = true
• 2. Manually close a trade on the Copier account

• ========================================
• 9. Important Notes
• ========================================

1. Both Provider EA and Copier EA must run simultaneously.

2. Both EAs must run on the same computer / VPS.
(Signals are shared locally between MT4 and MT5 instances.)

3. Magic Number cannot be set to 444 or -444.

4. The chart to which the Copier EA is attached does not affect trade execution.
(The Copier is not restricted to the chart symbol and will replicate all symbols from the Provider.)

5. It is recommended to set "__Use First 6 Symbol Chars" to true on the Provider EA.
This makes it easier for the Copier EA to match symbol names.

6. If symbol names on the Copier account have suffixes (e.g., m, .),
you must configure "__Symbol Suffix" in the Copier EA.

7. The account selection button is displayed only in Copier Mode.

8. The EA automatically re-initializes whenever parameter settings are modified.
