Copy Mode - Fixed Ratio
Fixed Ratio: Based on the followers' total investment amount, the system will replicate trades in proportion to the follower’s margin balance relative to the lead trader’s margin balance (Copy Ratio = Follower’s Margin Balance / Lead Trader’s Margin Balance).
- Opening Positions: The cost of opening a position for followers is proportional to the lead trader’s position cost. Due to the nature of automated copy trading, the system cannot guarantee the follower’s price will match the lead trader’s price exactly. The calculation of opening costs accounts for potential slippage, which may result in the follower's position size being smaller than the proportional amount originally set for copying.
For example, if the lead trader's available margin balance is 1,000 USDT and they use 500 USDT as the opening cost, the opening ratio would be 50%. If a follower’s copy amount is 500 USDT, the system will use 250 USDT to open their position, but the actual opened amount may be less than 250 USDT.
- Closing Positions: For example, if the lead trader holds 1 BTC and closes 0.2 BTC or 20% of the position, the system will also close 20% of the follower’s position.
Copy Mode - Fixed Amount
Fixed Amount: The follower uses a fixed amount per trade for copy trading.
- Opening Positions: The system opens positions for the follower based on their margin per trade. For example, if the follower’s margin per trade is 20 USDT, with a total copy trading amount of 100 USDT. Each time a copy trade is triggered, the system calculates the position size based on an opening cost of 20 USDT, allowing up to 5 simultaneous trades. If the margin per trade is below the contract’s minimum amount for opening positions, the copy trading will fail.
- Closing Positions: For example, if the lead trader holds 1 BTC and closes 0.2 BTC or 20% of the position, the system will also close 20% of the follower’s position.
