What copy trading is

In short

Copy trading connects your account to an experienced trader and copies their trades in real time, scaled to the money you allocate.

Instead of analysing markets yourself, you choose whose trading to follow. Your account then mirrors their activity in proportion to the funds you allocate.

The two sides

  • Strategy providers are traders who share their trading publicly. Their performance, risk level and history are visible to everyone.
  • Investors, also called copiers, browse the available strategies, pick one or more, and allocate funds. Every trade the provider opens or closes is replicated on the investor's account, scaled to the allocated amount.

Copy trading is built directly into your Personal Area. There is no separate app or platform. You browse strategies, manage your allocations and track your returns all in one place.

The risks

  • Past performance does not guarantee future results. Even long profitable providers enter losing streaks.
  • You share the provider's losses as well as their gains, in proportion to your allocation.
  • Copying does not remove market risk. It transfers the decision making, not the risk itself.
