Introduction
A regex, or regular expression, is a sequence of characters that defines a search pattern. It is used for pattern matching within strings, allowing you to find specific text based on defined rules.

Copier filter
The copier filter can be used to allow only specific trades based on the comment or magic number. Here are some examples:
| Type | Regex | Description |
| Comment | my EA | It copies only the trades that have “my EA” in the comment field |
| Comment | ^my EA | It copies only the trades that have “my EA” in the beggining of the comment field |
| Comment | ^my EA$ | It copies only the trades that have exactly “my EA” in the comment field |
| Magic number | 5 | It copies only the trades that have “5” as magic number. Pay attention that “15” will also be copied. |
| Magic number | ^5$ | It copies only the trades that have “5” as magic number. |
Regex is case sensitive
If you have multiple filters, they will be handled with the OR operator

| Regex | Description |
| ICMarketsSC | The mapping is valid for all brokers that have ICMarketsSC in the broker name. This includes all live and demo brokers. |
