Overview
ZMQ Trade Copier binds to a TCP socket on a configured port and listens for incoming trade positions from a master EA. Upon receiving a position, it opens a matching trade on the local terminal using the specified magic number and slippage. The system enables real-time synchronization of trades between two separate MetaTrader accounts. It supports both MT4 and MT5 platforms but requires separate master and slave EAs. The README provides minimal setup instructions for ZMQ libraries.
