Copy trading

What you are buying when you copy somebody

You are not buying their skill. You are buying their risk settings — the size they take, the leverage they hold, how long they sit in a loss — applied to your money at whatever fraction you set.

Which means a strategy that suits an account ten times the size of yours can be the wrong strategy on yours, while being exactly the same trades.

What we have not measured, and will not pretend to

We publish no leaderboard and no provider ranking. We have not audited anybody's track record, and a list of top traders assembled from screenshots is worth less than nothing, because it looks like evidence.

What can be checked is the account the copying happens in — which entity holds it, under which licence, and what a round trip costs there. That is the part of this decision with documents behind it, and it is the part we do publish.

The number to ask for is not the return

Ask for the deepest drawdown and how long the account stayed under water. A curve that doubled and halved twice on the way is a different product from one that ground out the same end figure, and only the second one is survivable at your size.

Then run it on your own balance: what would that drawdown have cost you, at the size you plan to copy at? The profit calculator turns the percentage into money, which is the only form worth judging.
