Copy Trading
Platforms & ToolsAutomatically replicating another trader's positions into your own account, scaled to your size — full risk still passes through to the follower.
Copy trading automatically replicates another trader's (the "signal provider's") positions into a follower's own account, proportionally scaled to the follower's account size, without the follower needing to place any trades themselves. It's marketed as a way to benefit from an experienced trader's strategy passively, though the follower still bears the full risk of whatever losses the copied trader incurs.
Past performance shown on a copy-trading leaderboard is historical, not guaranteed, and a signal provider's risk-taking can change (often for the worse) once they're trading with followers' capital rather than just their own.
