How to Copy Trade

This guide walks you through the steps of selecting a trader to copy, setting up your copy trading parameters, and effectively managing your copy trading activity.

✅ Step-by-Step: Getting Started

1. Enter the Copy Trading Section

  • Navigate to Contract → Contract Follow in the top navigation.

  • This will bring you to the Copy Trading Homepage.

  • Click [Contract Follow] to explore available lead traders (strategy providers).

2. Filter Projects to Find Traders

Use the built-in filters to find a lead trader based on your preferences:

  • Time Range: 7, 30, or 90 days

  • Performance Indicators:

    • Return Rate

    • Total Profit

    • Win Rate

    • Number of Followers

    • Order Size

3. Select a Trader and Click [Follow Order]

Once you’ve chosen a strategy, click [Follow Order] to proceed to the setup screen.

⚠️ Note: All copy trading parameters must be configured at this stage — they cannot be changed later.

🔧 Copy Trading Configuration Options

Copy Mode

  • Fixed Ratio Copy Follow the leader's position sizes in proportion to your available margin.

    • Ratio = Your available margin / Leader's available margin

    • This ratio is locked when you join and won’t change.

  • Fixed Amount Copy Each order utilizes a fixed margin, regardless of the leader's position size.

Margin Currency

  • Choose the currency used for copy trading (e.g., USDT).

Order Amount Settings

  • Total Investment: The Amount allocated to this copy trading project.

  • Amount per Order (Fixed Amount Mode): Margin used for each copy trade.

Margin Mode

  • Follow the Leader: Automatically copies the leader’s margin mode (Cross or Isolated).

  • Fixed Mode: You manually choose:

    • Full Position Margin

    • Isolated Position Margin

Leverage

  • Follow the Leader: Match the leader’s leverage.

  • Fixed Mode: Select your leverage (1x to 10x).

Take Profit / Stop Loss (TP/SL)

When positions are opened, TP/SL orders are automatically set using your configuration.

🔍 Notes:

  • TP/SL is applied on a per-position and portfolio basis.

  • SL orders will not auto-update if a position is partially closed.

  • SL will update if the position is increased.

  • SL submission may fail:

    • If the SL ratio > the maintenance margin ratio

    • During position increases, if the SL ratio exceeds limits

🚀 Starting the Copy Trade

After setting all parameters:

  1. Accept the User Service Agreement

  2. Click [Follow Order]

Your funds will be transferred from your contract wallet to the copy trading wallet.

❗ If the leader currently holds a position, you will not copy it immediately. Copying begins when the next position is opened.

⚠️ Important Reminders

  • If you are using Fixed Mode or Fixed Amount Copy and the leader adds margin, your risk may increase.

  • If the leader frequently adds to positions, and you have insufficient Balance, copying may fail.

  • Monitor your copy order project and margin usage regularly to ensure optimal performance.
