Copytool is quite frequently displaying no connection message - even though MT4 platform is definately connected. Why does this happen?

There is MetaTrader4 bug: IsConnected() function returned false but metatrader still connectedLast version of CopyTool has new option in master and slave scripts:

extern bool CheckConnection = true;Set CheckConnection = false to avoid NoConnection issue.

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect

You can ask google and find a lot of suggestions....
Side by Side architecture uses a trick in a file called a 'manifest' to call a special system file instead of the regular Vista system file (a .dll). The error is saying that finding that special dll written for that application is not working somehow. (side-by-side configuration is incorrect)

Try to download , unzip and copy Microsoft.VC80.CRT and Microsoft.VC80.MFC folders to the same folder with setup.exe file.

I've received message "History not loaded"
You should select "All History" in Terminal /Account history.

	I have investor password only. Could I copy trade operations with read-only access to master account? Sure .
	How about gathering of signals from different master accounts to a slave account? Yes, this mode are supported too but different brokers must have different ticket numbers. You may run 2 or more master terminals and one slave terminal to work.
	Can your software proper handle the situation , in which different brokers have different symbol names, for example GBPUSD and GBPUSDm? MultiTrade-Fx handles this situation simply. The slave script has build-in function MapSymbols . This function enables to set one-to-one mapping of different pairs and can be modified by trader (recompilation of the script in MetaEditor is required)
	I would calculate the custom lot size like percent of account balance. The slave script has build-in function CustomLot . You can modify this function to add your own custom lot calculation (recompilation of the script in MetaEditor is required) The script calls CustomLot function on LotType = 2
	Are there any restrictions? Metatrader Copier does not guarantee 100% success of copying of some complex operations like PartialClose and CloseBy.
	I need some extra functionality. May I order development services? Yes, all the possible changes are under discussion.
