Copy Trading
Follow other trading accounts with customized risk parameters and limits.
Copy Trading Overview
Copy trading enables you to mirror the trading activity of a leader account (a strategy or another trader) on your own connected broker account. Rather than executing trades manually, the copy trading engine detects when the leader opens or closes a position and executes a corresponding trade on your account.
Every copy trade runs in isolation. A failure in executing a trade for one follower does not affect other followers copying the same leader.
Custom Copy Parameters
When subscribing to a leader, you configure your own risk controls. These parameters ensure you remain in control of your account exposure:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ratio | Multiplier | Position size multiplier. For example, a ratio of 0.50 means if the leader opens a 1.0 lot trade, you copy it at 0.50 lots. |
| Notional Cap | USD Amount | The maximum allowed USD value for any single order. If the calculated position size exceeds this cap, the size is reduced to match the cap. |
| Daily Loss Cap | USD Amount | The maximum loss you are willing to incur on copied trades in a single day. |
| Allowlist | Symbol List | Optional list of symbols. If set, only trades in these symbols are copied. |
| Blocklist | Symbol List | Optional list of symbols. Trades in these symbols are never copied, even if opened by the leader. |
Your Limits Take Precedence
Your custom limits, risk configurations, and account balances apply to all copied trades. The leader’s parameters (such as their stop-loss sizes, account equity, or leverage) do not dictate your risk. If the leader places a trade that violates your allowlist, blocklist, notional cap, daily loss cap, or broker limits, the trade is blocked on your account while the leader’s trade executes unaffected.
Safety and Validation Checks
Before any copy trade is executed on your account, the engine verifies the following rules:
- Active Connection: You must have an active broker connection configured.
- Instrument Restriction: The symbol must pass both your custom allowlist and blocklist validations.
- Daily Loss Threshold: If your cumulative closed losses for the day meet or exceed your daily loss cap, new copy trades are blocked.
- Transaction Frequency Ceiling: To prevent runaway loops, a safety limit of 100 trades per day is enforced for copy trading.
- Wallet Credits: You must maintain a positive balance in your wallet. If your balance is zero or negative, copy trading execution is suspended.
Stopping and Pausing
You can manage your copy subscriptions at any time through the Telegram bot. To stop copying a leader:
- Open the subscription settings menu.
- Select your active copy trading subscription.
- Toggle the subscription status to inactive or select delete to remove the relationship entirely.
