Open Copytrading on your dashboard, browse the leaderboard of Lead Traders, choose one whose strategy and risk profile suit you, click Copy, and set how much of your account balance to allocate. Their new trades are then mirrored to your account automatically — trades the leader already had open before you started copying are not replicated retroactively.
Steps
1. Log in to nomo and open Copytrading.
2. Browse the leaderboard. You can filter by performance period, risk level, instruments traded, and number of followers.
3. Tap a Lead Trader to see their full profile: historical performance, risk metrics (drawdown, win rate), trading style, and current open positions.
4. Choose Copy.
5. Confirm. From this point forward, every new trade the Lead Trader opens is mirrored to your account, scaled to your allocation.
How copying actually works
Trades are copied based on the Lead Trader’s position size and your selected multiplier.
For example, if the Lead Trader opens a 0.1 lot position, a copier using an x1 multiplier will also open 0.1 lots, while an x3 multiplier will open 0.3 lots. In some cases, if the copier’s balance or margin settings are lower, the copied position size may be adjusted automatically.
Users can also set an optional per-trade margin limit, which may further affect the copied trade size.
Stop Loss, Take Profit, and investment limits
When the Lead Trader sets a Stop Loss or Take Profit, those price levels are mirrored to your copied position. You can adjust or remove them on your side at any time — this does not affect the Lead Trader's trade.
If you set your own SL on a copied position, it works alongside the mirrored one — whichever price is reached first will close the position.
You can also set a maximum investment amount per trade (in USD). If the Lead Trader opens a position that would exceed your cap, the copied size is reduced automatically. This protects your account from overexposure but may mean your results differ from the leader's percentage returns.
Note: during high-volatility periods (major news, market open/close), Stop Loss orders can fill at a slightly worse price than the level set. This is normal market behaviour called slippage — not a platform error.
What's not replicated
Trades the Lead Trader had already opened before you started copying are not replicated to your account, and are not visible in your portfolio. You only see and participate in trades from the moment your copy subscription starts. This is by design — both for fair attribution of performance and to protect the Lead Trader's history of pre-existing positions.
Why copied trades can produce different results from the leader's
Account balance and available margin — a smaller account may not be able to take the same proportional size.
Exact entry and exit timing — copies are placed after the leader's trade is detected, so the fill price can differ by a few pips.
Spread, swap, and any commission applied to your account.
Proportional size scaling — your allocation determines size; rounding to the minimum lot can introduce small differences.
Copy configuration — limits, multipliers, or stop-out thresholds you set on your end.
Market conditions and execution at the time the copied order reaches the platform.
What to look at when choosing a Lead Trader
Length of track record. Six months of profit during a trending market doesn't tell you how they trade in a chop. Two years is meaningful, three is more so.
Instruments traded. A trader who only trades crypto behaves very differently from one who trades only Forex majors.
Number of active followers. Very large follower counts can affect execution if the Lead Trader scales position size aggressively.
Important notes
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. This applies to every Lead Trader, regardless of how good their numbers look.
You can stop copying at any time. Existing copied positions can be closed manually or left to close on the Lead Trader's signals.
Lead Traders earn a performance fee from copied profit, calculated using the High Water Mark — they only earn on new profit above the previous peak.
Copytrading does not eliminate risk. It transfers the trade decision to someone else; the market risk on your capital remains yours.
Troubleshooting
My copied trade was filled at a different price than the Lead Trader's.
Some slippage is normal — see the difference factors above. If you'd like a specific trade reviewed, send the trade ID and the Lead Trader's display name to support@nomotrade.com from your registered email.
I want to stop copying without closing the open positions.
On the Lead Trader's profile in your account, choose Stop copying and select Keep open positions. The existing trades remain on your account; no new trades will be copied.
My Stop Loss didn't trigger as expected. Check that the SL was actually set on your copied position — it may have been removed or overridden by your copy configuration. If it triggered at a worse price than expected, this is slippage during a volatile period. If neither applies, send the trade ID and the Lead Trader's name to support for an execution log review.
