Copy trading
Pick a strategy provider, choose how much to allocate, and their trades open in your account in proportion to your balance. You stay in control and can stop at any time.
How copy trading works
Three settings decide what happens in your account.
Choose a provider
Compare providers on track record, 12-month return, maximum drawdown and the markets they trade. Read their strategy notes before you commit any money.
Set your allocation and stop level
Decide how much of your balance to allocate, from the provider minimum upwards. Set a stop level: if your copied equity falls to that amount, copying stops and open copied positions are closed.
Trades are copied proportionally
When the provider opens or closes a position, the same trade is placed in your account, sized to your allocation. A provider trading 1 lot on $10,000 becomes 0.1 lots on a $1,000 allocation.
