MetaTrader 5 to Interactive Brokers Copier (MT5 → IBKR)
Yes: MirrorFlow copies from MetaTrader 5 to Interactive Brokers, using MT5 as the master (source) account and IBKR as the follower (destination). An Expert Advisor reads every trade inside MT5 and a native bridge executes it in your Interactive Brokers account through TWS or IB Gateway, converting instrument and lot size when needed (CFD/forex → the equivalent IBKR asset). It's a standalone Windows app: you don't need NinjaTrader. 100% local connection, latency under 15ms and a one-time payment of $69.
MetaTrader 5 as the master account
Your Expert Advisor or manual trading in MT5 fires the signal; MirrorFlow captures it without changing your strategy or MQL5 code and forwards it to the Interactive Brokers bridge.
Native bridge to TWS / IB Gateway
MirrorFlow talks directly to the Interactive Brokers socket API on your own PC, placing orders inside TWS or IB Gateway, with no cloud copiers or middlemen.
Instrument and lot-size conversion
The Equivalence panel translates your MT5 CFD/forex lots (US100, XAUUSD, EURUSD) into the exact symbol and size in IBKR, whether that's a future, a stock/ETF or a forex pair.
Local execution and risk control (Anti-Ban)
Orders execute on your own machine, not in the cloud, with a per-account multiplier, Invert Side and daily loss/profit limits (MDD/MDP). Anti-Ban describes that mechanism, not a guarantee of immunity: every firm has its own rules on copying and automation; check your rulebook before trading.
Install the app
Download MirrorFlow.App.exe and install it on Windows. It's a standalone app: it doesn't require NinjaTrader or any other platform as a base.
Connect MT5 and Interactive Brokers
Attach the MirrorFlow Expert Advisor to an MT5 chart with AutoTrading on (master) and, in Interactive Brokers, enable the API in TWS or IB Gateway (socket on localhost) to link the bridge as the follower.
Configure lot size and risk
Set the instrument equivalence, the per-account lot multiplier and the MDD/MDP limits you want to apply on IBKR.
Trade
Every trade you fire in MetaTrader 5 is replicated instantly to your Interactive Brokers account, in under 15ms.
