How it works

Mirror a leader's every move, at your size

Leader's tradeYour mirrored copyBTC price

When the leader opens, adds to, or closes a position, each move is copied to your account. Your size is the leader's exposure (their position as a share of their book), scaled by your allocation and applied to your own account. A 50% allocation gives you half the leader's exposure. Your funds never leave your wallet.

Mechanics

How copy trading works

  1. Select a Lead Trader from the public leaderboard.
  2. Allocate a percentage of your account equity to copy trading.
  3. When the Lead Trader opens, increases, reduces, or closes a position, your Copy Bot mirrors the action proportionally.
  4. Trades place only if sufficient margin is available, with protections based on your risk settings.

Worked example

How your size is derived

Lead trader0x7a3f…c92b
Leader book$50,000
Your equity$10,000
Your allocation50%
Leader exposure15% ($7,500)
Your exposure7.5% ($750)

Your size tracks the leader's exposure (their position as a share of their book), scaled by your allocation and applied to your own equity. Half the allocation gives you half the leader's exposure, never their dollar amount.

Walkthrough

Getting started

  1. Select a Lead Trader from the leaderboard.
  2. Set allocation percentage, market scope, and position direction.
  3. Set entry tolerance and max position safeguards.
  4. Start the bot and monitor copied positions in real time.

Important considerations

  • Execution prices can differ because of liquidity and timing; partial fills may occur.
  • Trades can be skipped if risk limits or margin requirements are hit.
  • Each account's results vary based on allocation, timing, and market conditions.
  • Only one Copy Bot runs per account to keep risk focused on a single leader.

Risk disclosure

Trade responsibly

  • Copy trading carries significant risk; leverage and volatility amplify gains and losses.
  • Past performance of a Lead Trader does not guarantee future results.
  • You remain responsible for trading decisions and potential losses; only allocate capital you can afford to risk.
