Frequently Asked Questions

Copy trading is a form of trading where a trader copies or replicates the trades of another. Novice traders or amateurs can copy the trading strategies of experienced traders in real time with the aim of making trades on their own through a trading platform that connects both traders. Our copy trading platform allows you to search for traders to follow and replicate the trades of the trader(s) you select. This means that when the copied trader makes a trade, the same trade is created in the copy trader’s account. Copy trading is a way for novice traders to learn from other traders. However, it is important for copy traders to thoroughly research and understand the performance and trading strategy of the traders they are following.

First, you subscribe to a signal by clicking 'Copy Trade.' Then, once the signal provider places an order, the system will automatically copy the trade in your account based on your account balance's proportion using the corresponding copy trade lot size. The copy lot size ratio refers to the ratio of the lot size of the copied order to the signal order. If the copy lot size ratio is 2, for every 1 lot placed by the signal, the copy account will place 2 lots. The calculation of the copy lot size ratio is as follows: Divide your balance by the signal provider's balance. For example, if your current balance is $1,000 and you subscribed to a signal provider with a balance of $10,000, the copy lot size ratio would be 0.1 (divide $1,000 by $10,000). If the base currencies are different, the ratio will be calculated after currency conversion. If you have set a signal multiplier in the copy trade control panel, the copy lot size ratio will be adjusted by multiplying the balance ratio with the signal multiplier.

Due to differences in balance, leverage, account type, or you mannually trade on your trading platform and unforeseeable factors in actual market movements, it is impossible for trading profits to be completely consistent. However, maintaining similar balance, leverage, and account type can minimize differences.

The performance fee, based on the High-Water Mark Principle, is charged as a percentage of the profits on the copier’s investment. It is calculated on the cumulative gains and losses of copied trades and only applied if the cumulative profit is positive, ensuring fees are charged only when there is actual profit.

If you are still subscribed to a copy trading service, you must first cancel your subscription. Withdrawals can only be made after the settlement process is completed.

Based on the selected signal performance and multiplier, this is an estimate of the maximum drawdown ratio for the copy trading account. The higher the ratio, the greater the risk of copying trades, and the ratio may exceed 100%. Please note that if the signals you follow are of the same type or from the same trader, the actual risk may be higher than the displayed ratio. Learn more

The Suggested Minimum Balance is calculated based on the lot size and signal multiplier; this helps effectively avoid issues caused by the signal provider's minimum lot size and maximum position that could prevent copying trades. If the copy account reaches the 'Suggested Minimum Balance' most of the time, it will be able to copy trades perfectly. The recommended funding level is adjusted accordingly based on changes in the signal multiplier. Learn more
