# How I Passed The5ers $100K Evaluation by Copying My QuantMonitor Strategy With FX Blue

**I passed Phase 1 of The5ers High Stakes $100,000 evaluation by running my QuantMonitor strategy on my own broker and copying every trade to the prop account using the FX Blue Personal Trade Copier.** The account closed Phase 1 above target, the evaluation was approved, and Phase 2 is now live. This article walks through the exact setup that made it work — and the one rule-compliance lesson that made the difference between “profitable” and “passed.”

## Phase 1 results — at a glance

| Metric | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Starting balance | **$100,000.00** |
| Closing equity | **$110,802.47** |
| Recognized profit (counts toward target) | **$8,066.66** |
| Phase 1 target | $105,000 — **passed ✅** |
| Outcome | **Promoted to Phase 2** (new target $105,000) |

Two numbers matter here. The account made **more than 10% in real equity**. The recognized profit was lower than the real profit because of news-window rules — and that gap is the most important lesson in this whole write-up. More on that below.

## What is the FX Blue Personal Trade Copier?

FX Blue Personal Trade Copier is a free MT4/MT5 expert advisor that mirrors orders from a source account to one or more target accounts in near real time. It has two components:

- **Sender EA** — installed on the source account, broadcasts every open, close, and modification to a named channel.
- **Receiver EA** — installed on the target account, listens to that channel and translates each signal into a local order.

The data flow is linear:

```
Strategy → Sender EA → Channel → Receiver EA → Target account
```

That is the entire architecture. Everything else in this article is configuration — and configuration is where the pass/fail lives.

## 2 setups that cover 95% of real-world copying

Across every account I run, copying boils down to two distinct setups. They require very different parameters because they solve very different problems.

### Setup 1 — Same broker, same symbols (channel `robo1`)

Same broker = identical symbol names, identical price feed, identical contract specs. Nothing to translate, so the copier stays literal.

| Parameter | Value | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `IncludePendingOrders` | true | Pending orders survive the trip |
| `HideSLandTP` | false | SL/TP travel with the trade |
| `LotSizeMultiplier` | 1.0 | Direct 1:1 lot transfer |
| `MirrorSLandTPChanges` | true | Trailing edits replicate |
| `AllowSlippagePips` | 1000 | Generous but bounded |
| `CustomSymbolMappings` | empty | Nothing to map |

Use this whenever the destination is your own second account at the same broker.

### Setup 2 — Different broker / prop firm (channel `fivers1`)

This is the setup that passed The5ers. Different broker = different symbol names, different price feed, different rules. The job changes from *clone the trade* to *transfer the market exposure*.

Symbol mapping is the first thing to get right:

```
.USTECHCash = NAS100
.US30Cash   = US30
.DE40Cash   = DAX40
BRENT       = XBRUSD
```

Then the Receiver parameters:

| Parameter | Value | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `TradeAllOrdersAtMarket` | true | Pending levels are meaningless on a different feed |
| `AllowSlippagePips` | 9,999,999 | Let the fill happen — the strategy needs the exposure, not the pip |
| `PlaceLimitOrderIfSlipped` | false | Market only, never a stranded limit |
| `UseRiskFactor` | 0.2 | Conservative risk scaling onto a prop account |
| `LotSizeMultiplier` | 0.0 | Size is driven by the risk factor, not by raw lots |
| `MirrorSLandTPChanges` | false | SL/TP edits on a different feed cause more problems than they solve |
| `IncludePendingOrders` (sender) | false | Pending orders are not broadcast |

The principle that made this setup pass: **stop trying to clone the price; copy the direction and the risk.**

## Why the recognized profit was lower than the real profit

The account passed — but only $8,066.66 of the $10,802.47 real gain counted. Here is exactly why.

![The5ers Phase 1 account result with recognized profit and closed balance](https://quantmonitor.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Snimek-obrazovky-2026-04-30-v-17.29.30-scaled.webp)

*Screenshot 1 — The5ers Phase 1: actual balance, recognized profit and profit target. The account reached $110,802.47, while the recognized profit was $8,066.66. Phase 1 was passed.*

### Reason 1 — News-window restrictions

Some trades opened inside a high-impact news window. The copier copied them. The broker filled them. The5ers’ rules excluded the resulting profit from the evaluation target.

### Reason 2 — Profit during restricted windows is not symmetrical

The platform counts losses but does not count profits from any trade that violates a window rule. That asymmetry matters: a news-time win is not “neutral” — it actively bends the evaluation curve in the wrong direction.

### Reason 3 — A working copier is not automatically a passing copier

The copier executed faithfully. That is not the same thing as passing the evaluation. The real system has five layers, not three:

```
Strategy + Copier + Broker mapping + Risk scaling + Rule compliance
```

Drop one, the result drops with it. I passed Phase 1 with the first four solid; Phase 2 is about cleaning up the fifth.

## 4 changes I’m making in Phase 2

![The5ers Phase 2 evaluation started with new target](https://quantmonitor.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Snimek-obrazovky-2026-05-01-v-18.20.21-scaled.webp)

*Screenshot 2 — The5ers Phase 2: new evaluation stage started. After passing Phase 1, the second phase begins from $100,000 with a fresh target of $105,000 and recognized profit reset to $0.00.*

1. **News filtering at the strategy level**, not at the copier level. The economic calendar is now an input to the entry logic, so trades during restricted windows never get sent in the first place.
2. **Daily review of the copier logs** — heartbeat, rejected trades, slippage. Five minutes per session.
3. **Two parallel monitoring layers**: one tracks whether the strategy is making money; the other tracks whether every trade was rules-compliant. These are not the same question.
4. **Risk factor stays at 0.2.** Phase 1 proved the scaling works. Adding leverage to chase a target is exactly the mistake the prop firm is designed to catch.

## Operational checklist before copying to a prop account

Run through this list before you pay an evaluation fee. It is much cheaper than failing one.

**Platform rules**

- Are EAs and copiers explicitly permitted?
- Is written approval required?
- Are news trades restricted? Is profit during news counted? Is loss during news counted?

**Technical setup**

- Do symbol names match exactly? Indexes and commodities are where this breaks.
- Is `CustomSymbolMappings` correct end-to-end?
- Is the VPS stable, with exactly one Sender and one Receiver on the channel?

**Risk and monitoring**

- Is the risk factor conservative enough that one bad day cannot blow the daily-loss limit?
- Is the heartbeat visible?
- Are rejected trades surfaced where you’ll see them?
- Is the economic calendar wired into the strategy?

## The rule that matters more than any parameter

If there is one thing to take from this Phase 1 pass, it is this: **do not build execution around the broker you’re copying from. Build it around the rules of the platform you’re copying to.**

Rules trade your account, not your feelings. The copier doesn’t care that the strategy was profitable. The prop firm doesn’t care that the trade made money — it cares that the trade was inside the rules. Engineer the system around the constraints that will actually decide whether you pass.

I passed Phase 1 because the strategy had a real edge and the copier transferred it cleanly. Phase 2 is about closing the last gap — making sure every single trade that travels through the copier also passes the rule check on the other end.

- Download the working sender + receiver config used for both setups above: **sender-receiver set**.
- Read the FX Blue documentation: [FX Blue Personal Trade Copier](https://www.fxblue.com/tools-for-download/fx-blue-personal-trade-copier).
- Read the current The5ers rules before any evaluation: [help.the5ers.com](https://help.the5ers.com/).
- Phase 2 results will be posted as a follow-up — subscribe to QuantMonitor updates if you want to see how it ends.

## Your move: put a real strategy on a prop account

Here's the challenge: take a strategy with a genuine edge, copy it onto a prop evaluation the way I copied mine onto The5ers with FX Blue, and build the one thing that actually decides pass or fail — rule-compliant execution. The strategy is only half the job; the copier setup and the platform rules are the rest.
