How crypto copy trading works

The service owner runs the project for their audience. The trader provides trading events. Each investor uses their own exchange account with selected copying settings.

CopyTrader does not provide a global trader marketplace or promise to supply investors. Trader selection and service terms belong to the specific service.

• A project organizes the trader and investor accounts.
• Exchange accounts connect using the API credentials required by the integration. Copying does not require withdrawal permissions.
• A trader, market, and copying settings are selected for the investor. Compatibility is checked for the specific trader-to-investor direction.
• Trading events are processed subject to available balance, the instrument, settings, and exchange restrictions. Results are checked through account state, history, and logs.

Fees, liquidity, slippage, API delays, size rounding, minimum order sizes, and account settings affect results. The same trading event does not imply the same price, position size, or return across accounts.

Spot and futures require separate checks. Futures also depend on position mode, margin, and leverage. Exchange support does not mean every instrument and copying direction is supported.

Copying involves the risk of loss. Past results and automation do not guarantee future returns.

• Who operates the service and which traders its audience can access.
• Whether the accounts, market, and copying direction are compatible.
• How deposit allocation, limits, and open-position handling are configured for switching or disconnecting.
• Which charges come from the platform, service terms, and exchange fees. Trading funds remain in exchange accounts.
