cTrader Copy is an integrated platform within the cTrader application that allows investors to copy trading strategies from other traders. Investors can allocate funds to copy trades, and all positions opened by the strategy provider are automatically copied to the investor’s account according to the equity-to-equity ratio model.
The copying volume is calculated based on the equity-to-equity ratio. This means that the volume of a trade copied to the investor's account is proportional to the ratio between the investor's equity and the strategy provider’s equity. For example, if the strategy provider has $4,000 and the investor has $1,000, a trade of 4 lots by the provider will result in 1 lot being copied to the investor’s account.
Yes, cTrader Copy does not allow the copying of trades related to stocks or shares. While the strategy provider may trade symbols like AAPL or TSLA, these trades will not be copied by the investors.
Yes, investors can add or remove funds from their copy-trading account while copying a strategy. However, any adjustments in funds will impact the volume of copied positions and future trades based on the equity-to-equity model. If you wish to withdraw all funds, including the minimum investment, you must stop copying the strategy first.
If an investor’s account lacks sufficient funds or has lower leverage compared to the strategy provider, certain trades may not be copied. Additionally, if the minimum trading volume set by the broker is not met, or if the trade size exceeds the broker's maximum ticket size, these trades may be skipped.
Yes, investors can stop copying a strategy at any time. When copying is stopped, all remaining funds, including the minimum investment, can be withdrawn from the copy-trading account. There is no long-term commitment, and you can freely manage your investments as long as your broker supports cTrader Copy.
