Fig. 3. Traders search
Please note that only those traders who have made at least one trade for the past 24h appear in the search results.
9.3. Copying a trader
If you have enabled Social trading, all traders that you copy will be displayed in this section. If your list of copied traders is empty, you can click “View top-ranked traders” and find a trader to copy or watch.
To adjust copy settings, select a trader in Social trading, and in the next window click “Copy”.
In the “Copy settings” window you can adjust the following parameters

Fig. 4. Copying a trader
Copy in proportion
The “Copy in proportion” setting allows you to adjust the percentage of trade amount in relation to the original trades. For example, if you set this parameter to 60% when you copy a $100 trade, your trade will open at $60.
Meanwhile, the payout percentage will be the same as for the original trade.
Stop balance
The Stop Balance setting allows you to set the balance amount at which copying will be stopped. You can also stop copying at any time manually.
Min copy trade amount
The “Minimum copy trade amount” setting allows you to set the minimum amount for any copied trade.
Please note that the minimum copy trade amount cannot be less than $1.
Max copy trade amount
The “Maximum copy trade amount” setting allows you to set the maximum amount for any copied trade.
To save all changes in the copy settings, click on the “Confirm” button.
Here’s an example of copy settings:

Fig. 5. Copy settings example
Copy proportion is set to 60%, meaning that only 60% of the original trade order amount will be copied, considering all other conditions are met.
Stop balance is set to $70, meaning that if the current account balance is equal to or less than $70, copying will stop automatically.
Min copy trade amount is set to $6, meaning that the minimum trade amount that will be copied by your account is 6 USD (due to 60% copy proportion, the original trade must be for $10 or more).
Max copy trade amount is set to $75, meaning that the maximum trade amount that will be copied by your account is $75 (due to 60% copy proportion, the original trade must be for $125 or less).
A few examples and explanations:
- If the original trade amount is $20, the order will be copied.
- 60% proportion for a $20 trade is $12
- $12 is more than the minimum copy trade amount ($6) and less than the max copy trade amount ($75).
- If the original trade amount is $3, the order will NOT be copied.
- 60% proportion for a $3 trade is $1.8
- $1.8 is less than the minimum copy trade amount ($6), therefore your social trading settings will not process that order.
- If the original trade amount is $215, the order will NOT be copied.
- 60% proportion for a $215 trade is $129
- $129 is more than the minimum copy trade amount ($6) and also more than the max copy trade amount ($75), therefore your social trading settings will not process that order.
The exact reason why a trade has not been copied can be found in the Profile > History of social trading.
9.4. List of copied traders
