Three ways to trade signals — one that actually works
Why XZT?
Trading signals manually means missing fills, fumbling lot sizes, being chained to your screen. Cloud copiers fix the screen problem but introduce new ones — your data on their servers, extra subscriptions, slower fills. XZT runs natively in your MT5, on your machine, with sub-300ms execution on the markets you actually trade.
| What matters | Manual Trading | Cloud Copiers | XZT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signal at 3am | You miss it | Fires while you sleep | Fires while you sleep |
| Lot sizing | Mental maths under pressure | Auto-calculated | Auto-calculated |
| Where it runs | Your finger on the button | Their server | Your MT5 terminal |
| Your data | Stays with you | Routed through their cloud | Stays on your machine |
| MT5 bridge | None needed | Separate cloud-bridge sub (£15–£60/mo) | Built in — speaks to MT5 directly |
| Telegram login | N/A | Your personal account (ban risk) | Official bot API |
| Execution speed | As fast as you type | 5–15s of network hops | Sub-300ms — proven |
| Pip & lot maths | Yours to get right | Forex-first, Gold bolted on | Built around XAUUSD from day one |
| Signal parser | Your eyes | AI — hallucinates | Deterministic — same input, same output |
| Live trade control | You sit at MT5 | ~10 commands, per-channel keywords | 30+ XZ commands, fixed vocabulary |
| Profit protection | You manage it manually | Basic trailing or BE only | BE · Secure Zones · Trailing · RR — all auto |
| Prop firm protection | Discipline only | Off-the-shelf, often broken | DD lock, target lock, exposure cap, lot floors |
| State after restart | You reload it from memory | Reset to current positions | Full restore — every BE, TP, zone, runner |

Other copiers ask you to teach them your provider's words. XZT speaks a single command language — your provider learns it once, every member follows. No per-channel config, no AI guessing, no missed updates.
