Copy Trading

cTrader Copy is an innovative feature of the cTrader platform, designed to facilitate both investors and strategy providers in the copy trading ecosystem. It allows investors to copy the trading strategies of experienced traders seamlessly, while providing a platform for traders to monetize their trading strategies by sharing them with a wider audience.

How It Works

1. Discover and Select Strategies: Investors can browse through various trading strategies using custom filters. These filters include performance metrics, fees, the number of investors, and the amount of funds copied, allowing investors to select strategies that best match their investment goals and risk appetite.

2. Allocation of Funds: Once a strategy is selected, investors can allocate funds from their account to a separate copy trading account. This account is exclusively used for copying trades of the selected strategy provider. The cTrader platform uses an equity-to-equity ratio to ensure that the trade volumes are proportionate to both the strategy provider’s and the investor’s account balances.

3. Automated Copying: All trades executed by the strategy provider are automatically mirrored in the investor’s copy trading account. This includes opening, closing, and modifying positions. However, the system adjusts the volume based on the available equity, ensuring that the copied trades are scaled to the investor’s account size.

4. Risk Management and Control: Investors retain full control over their accounts. They can stop copying a strategy at any time, set equity stop-loss levels, and adjust their investment amounts. Additionally, cTrader Copy provides various risk management tools to help investors manage their portfolios effectively.
