Symbol Mapping
Ensure trades execute correctly even if brokers use different symbol names. A common issue in copy trading is that Broker A might call itEURUSD while Broker B calls it EURUSDm or EURUSD.pro. Symbol Mapping fixes this.
When Do You Need This?
If your Sender and Receiver accounts are on different brokers, check their symbol names.| Sender (Broker A) | Receiver (Broker B) | Mapping Needed? |
|---|---|---|
EURUSD | EURUSD | ❌ No |
EURUSD | EURUSDm | ✅ Yes |
US30 | DJ30 | ✅ Yes |
XAUUSD | GOLD | ✅ Yes |
