Copy trading
Questions and answers
What is copy trading?
You follow a master trader, and every new trade they open also runs on your live account at the same moment. Each copied trade is sized to the amount you choose to copy with.
Which account is used?
Only your live account. You cannot copy or publish a strategy on demo, and copy trading is not available on challenge, funded or tournament accounts.
What does copying cost?
Each master sets a profit share from 0% to 50% of your new copy profit, paid once a day at 04:00 Dubai time, and may ask an entry fee that you pay when you start copying. Both come from your own money on the live balance, never the bonus. You see them before you start, and each one shows in Transactions.
Is the bonus used for copying?
Never. Your copy amount, the entry fee and the profit share all come from your own deposited money.
Can I trade by hand while copying?
Yes, with any of your own money that is not in a copy. The copy amount cannot be traded by hand or withdrawn while the copy runs, and while any amount is set aside for copying, the bonus is not used for your own trades.
How is each copied trade sized?
You choose an amount of your own money to copy with, and each copied trade takes the same share of it as the master's trade takes of their balance. If a master with $750 opens $75 (10%), a $75 copy opens $7.50. Forex copies use the master's leverage, and copies can go below $1 or 0.01 lots.
Can I stop copying at any time?
Any time. Pause or stop from My copies. Stopping settles any profit share due; copied trades already open run until they close, and then your copy amount is freed. If you start again later you pay the entry fee again, but profit share is never charged twice on the same money.
How many traders can I copy?
Up to 10 at the same time, each with its own copy amount from your own money.
What is a private strategy?
A strategy that is not listed in Traders. Others find it only by typing the trader's full nickname in the search, so share the exact nickname with the people you want to copy you.
How do I become a master?
Open Become a master, choose a nickname and your terms, and publish. From then on, followers copy the trades you open on your live account.
How does a master earn?
Trade on your live account as usual; followers copy each new trade the moment you open it, sized to their own copy amount. You get your profit share of their net new profit every day, plus your entry fee, if you set one, as each follower starts. Both are paid to your live account.
What happens if the trader closes the strategy?
Your copy stops on its own, and any profit share due is settled first. Copied trades already open run until they close, and then your copy amount is freed.
