| Total Profit | The trader's net total profit, excluding funding fees and rebate income. |
| Total Follower Profit | The aggregate profit generated by all users copying this trader. |
| Total Return Rate | The sum of the current period's return rate and the carried-forward yield. |

Configuring Your Copy Trading Settings
After selecting a trader, tap the "Copy" button on their profile card to access the configuration page.
Basic Settings: Amount & Stop-Loss
A minimum of 10 USDT is required in your copy trading account to begin.
Copy Mode
You can choose between two primary modes:
- Fixed Amount: Each copied trade will use a fixed margin amount you specify (e.g., 10 USDT per trade). You can adjust this amount at any time.
- Fixed Ratio: Each trade's value is a multiple of the trader's order value (e.g., 3x). A 100 USDT trade by the trader becomes a 300 USDT trade for you. This ratio can also be modified.
Per-Trade Stop-Loss Ratio
This setting automatically closes a position if its loss reaches a specified percentage (0-200%) of the allocated margin for that trade. For example, a 20% stop-loss will trigger a market close if the loss hits 20% of the trade's value.
Advanced Configuration Settings
These options provide finer control over your risk and strategy alignment.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Select Trading Pairs | Choose to copy all trades or select specific assets from the trader's history. Defaults to "All Pairs." |
| Leverage Setting | Set your own leverage for copied trades, independent of the trader's choice. High leverage increases risk; it is recommended to stay below 20x. |
| Maximum Copy Amount | The upper limit on the total margin you are willing to allocate to copying a specific trader. The default cap is 20,000 USDT. |
| Per-Trade Take-Profit Ratio | Automatically closes a position once its profit reaches a set percentage (0-200%) of the trade's value. Disabled by default. |
| Slippage Protection | Cancels the copy trade if the opening price exceeds the trader's average entry price by a set slippage percentage (0-5%). Disabled by default. |
| Overall Stop-Loss | Stops all new copy trades with a trader once your total net loss (realized + unrealized P&L) with them reaches a predefined amount. You can choose how to handle existing positions. Disabled by default. |

Modifying Your Active Copy Parameters
You can review and adjust your settings at any time. Navigate to 【Copy Trading】 - 【My】 and select 【My Traders】.
Here, you can view your current and historical traders, cancel followership, and modify your copy settings. Any changes will take effect on the trader's next new position.
Reviewing Your Copy Trading Performance
The 【My】 section within the Copy Trading module is your dashboard for tracking performance. It is divided into four key areas:
| Data Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Current Copies | Displays all open copy trading orders that have not yet been closed. |
| Current Positions | Shows a merged view of your cross-margin and isolated margin holdings. |
| Copy History | Provides detailed information on all previously closed copy trades. |
| My Traders | Lists all traders you are currently following or have followed in the past. |
Key Considerations for Success
- Profit-Taking and Stop-Loss: Always configure sensible take-profit and stop-loss ratios to manage volatility and protect your capital.
- Trading Pairs: For the most accurate replication of a trader's strategy, it is advisable to copy all their trading pairs rather than a select few.
- Leverage: Exercise caution with leverage. Utilizing high leverage can magnify losses rapidly. A leverage setting below 20x is strongly recommended for most users.
- Following Multiple Traders: The platform allows you to follow up to 10 traders simultaneously. Be aware that your copy trading account's margin is shared across all active copies, which can increase overall account risk. Using the Overall Stop-Loss feature for each trader is a prudent way to manage this risk.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum amount needed to start copy trading?
You need a minimum of 10 USDT in your designated copy trading account to begin following any trader and start replicating their trades.
Can I change my copy settings after I start following a trader?
Yes, you can modify your settings—such as the copy amount, stop-loss ratio, or leverage—at any time. The new configuration will apply to all subsequent trades opened by the trader.
What happens if I follow multiple traders and my account margin runs low?
Your copy trading account's available balance is shared across all active copies. If your margin becomes insufficient to open new positions for any trader you are following, those specific copy trades will fail until you allocate more funds or reduce your copy amount settings.
How does the profit-sharing mechanism work?
When a copied trade is closed at a profit, a predetermined percentage of that profit (the "Profit Share Ratio" shown on the trader's profile) is automatically allocated to the trader. You keep the remaining profit.
Is there a way to automatically limit my total losses with one trader?
Yes, the "Overall Stop-Loss" feature in the advanced settings allows you to set a maximum total loss amount for each trader. Once triggered, it will halt new copy trades and can optionally close any existing open positions you have with that trader.
What is the difference between 'Per-Trade Stop-Loss' and 'Overall Stop-Loss'?
The Per-Trade Stop-Loss applies to each individual copied position, closing it once its specific loss hits a threshold. The Overall Stop-Loss applies to your entire portfolio of copies with a single trader, tracking your total net profit/loss with them and triggering an action when your cumulative loss reaches a set amount.
