Traditional copiers embed parsing, risk logic, and routing inside MetaTrader. That makes EAs brittle, hard to update, and expensive to support across brokers.
Our split
| Layer | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| EA agent | License activation, heartbeat, inbox poll, trade execution |
| Cloud API | Signal intake, normalization, delivery queue, risk checks |
When a provider posts a signal, the server validates it, maps symbols per subscriber terminal, and queues a delivery. The EA only executes what the inbox returns — no Telegram parsing on chart.
Why it matters
- Faster fixes — change parsing rules without redeploying hundreds of EAs.
- Consistent risk — lot sizing and filters apply centrally per copy setting.
- Observability — every delivery and execution is logged for support and analytics.
