Log in to ForexClub and open a MT4 Instant demo account if you don't have one yet:
In any MT4 terminal, connect to this account:

After connecting to the demo account, open the ETCUSD chart and run the GRat_OrderExport (MT4) tool on it to copy your EA's trades. Make sure the following parameters are set:
- Magic - the magic number that your EA assigns to transactions, for example 20000. If it does not assign, then 0 .
- Common = true .

Open another ETCUSD chart with the desired timeframe in MT4 and start trading with your EA on it, as you did before on a similar Bybit pair.

Now all trades will be automatically copied to the desired instrument on Bybit, in this case,the ETCUSDT futures .
