Copy Trading is a functionality that allows users to automatically replicate operations performed by experienced traders (Lead Traders) within the platform.
How does Copy Trading work?
The operation of Copy Trading follows a structured process:
The user accesses the Copy Trading section.
Selects an available Lead Trader.
Assigns a specific amount for copying.
Configures the available risk parameters.
Confirms activation.
From that moment, the Lead Trader’s operations are automatically replicated in the user’s account according to the established conditions.
The user can stop or modify the copy at any time.
What type of operations are copied?
Copy Trading is usually mainly linked to:
• Operations in Futures markets.
• Strategies that may include leverage.
• Operations that open and close according to the Lead Trader’s strategy.
Availability of products and pairs may vary depending on the platform.
What parameters can I configure when copying a trader?
Depending on the platform, the user can configure:
• Capital assigned to the copy.
• Loss limits.
• Maximum amount per operation.
• Other available risk management options.
These parameters allow the user to adapt the copy to their risk profile.
What are the benefits of Copy Trading?
Copy Trading allows:
• Access to strategies of experienced traders.
• Automate trade execution.
• Reduce the initial learning curve.
• Participate in the market without manual trading.
What risks does Copy Trading have?
Copy Trading does not eliminate market risk. Main risks include:
• Losses derived from adverse market movements.
• Liquidation risk in leveraged operations.
• Changes in the Lead Trader’s strategy.
• Different results among users due to risk configurations.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Can I lose funds using Copy Trading?
Yes.
Copy Trading involves risks and may generate losses, including the total loss of the capital assigned to copying.
It is recommended to:
• Assign only capital that the user is willing to assume as risk.
• Correctly configure loss limits.

How are profits and losses calculated?
Profits and losses are calculated:
• Proportionally to the assigned capital.
• According to the execution price of each operation.
