Inputs (defined)
Advisable CFD → Futures mapping

How mirroring works
The EA listens for executed offers on the connected MT5 chart image.
If filters go and the duplicate cap permits, it routes a market order to the present entrance tradable month of your chosen futures root.
It creates a sticky mapping so subsequent closes/reductions mirror appropriately.

Prop-firm suggestions
Most prop companies (together with Apex and comparable) implement every day session guidelines and should drive flat at finish of day or throughout upkeep home windows. To adapt:
Favor breakout/flat-by-EOD methods over grid or holding in a single day.
Keep away from martingale sizing. It typically violates danger limits and might set off every day loss or trailing thresholds.
Use Micro futures (MES/MNQ/MYM/FDXS/MGC) and set Mirror Qty = 1 till you’re comfy.
Contemplate MAX Open Positions = 1–2 to restrict publicity.
Troubleshooting
Not linked / no account ID: affirm your credentials and that MT5 WebRequest is allowed in your Tradovate API host in Instruments → Choices → Knowledgeable Advisors.
No mirrors firing: test Magic/Remark filters and MAX Open Positions cap.
Sizing off: bear in mind “Mirror Qty” is contracts, not CFD heaps.
