Copy from MetaTrader 4 to Interactive Brokers (MT4 → IBKR)
MirrorFlow uses MetaTrader 4 as the master account (source) and replicates every trade to an Interactive Brokers account through the TWS or IB Gateway bridge. It's a standalone Windows app: you don't need NinjaTrader, you just install MirrorFlow and connect MT4 as master and IBKR as follower. Because it's multi-asset, it converts your instrument and your forex/CFD lot size into the right equivalent on the Interactive Brokers side. 100% local connection, latency under 15ms and a one-time payment of $69.
MetaTrader 4 as the master account
Your Expert Advisor or manual trading on MT4 fires the signal; MirrorFlow reads it from the EA sender and sends it to Interactive Brokers without touching your strategy or your MQL4 code.
Native bridge to TWS / IB Gateway
MirrorFlow talks directly to the native Interactive Brokers socket API (TWS or IB Gateway) on your own PC. The app orchestrates everything over a local Windows channel, with no cloud servers.
Multi-asset: converts instrument and lot size
The Equivalence panel translates your forex or CFD lots on MT4 (EURUSD, XAUUSD, US100) into the correct instrument and size on Interactive Brokers, even across a different asset class.
Local execution and risk control (Anti-Ban)
Orders are placed on your own machine, with no cloud copiers; you apply a per-account multiplier and daily loss/profit limits. Anti-Ban describes that mechanism, not a guarantee of immunity: every firm has its own rules on copying and automation, and compliance stays yours.

FAQ
Can MetaTrader 4 be the master account and Interactive Brokers the follower?
Yes. MT4 is one of the platforms that can act as master (source) and Interactive Brokers as follower (destination). You trade on MT4 and MirrorFlow replicates to your IBKR account.
Do I need to enable the TWS or IB Gateway API?
Yes. You must turn on the socket API connection in TWS or in IB Gateway (allow clients on localhost). The manual includes the exact step-by-step setup.
Do I need an Expert Advisor on MetaTrader 4?
Yes. MirrorFlow's sender is an EA that attaches to an MT4 chart with AutoTrading enabled; from there it reads your trades and sends them to the Interactive Brokers bridge.
How does a forex or CFD lot from MT4 become an Interactive Brokers order?
With the Equivalence and Multiplier panel you define which Interactive Brokers instrument and size each lot of your MT4 forex pair or CFD maps to, even across different asset classes.
Do I need NinjaTrader to use MirrorFlow?
No. MirrorFlow is a standalone Windows app; you install the app and connect only MetaTrader 4 and Interactive Brokers. All for a one-time payment of $69 with unlimited destination accounts.
