STRATEGY

Copy Baby

Mirrors the trades of selected top performers in real time. You pick the leader(s), set how much each controls of your capital, and the bot does the work. Results live or die by who you pick.

Steady Hands-off if you pick well, painful if you don't.

Quick take

You browse a leaderboard of traders, click follow, and your account starts placing the same trades they do - proportional to your size. Less work for you, but quality of leader is everything. Most beginners pick on recent ROI alone - that is the trap.

How it works

Each platform leader broadcasts every position they open, modify, and close. The bot listens to your selected leaders and re-creates those orders on your account, scaled to your capital. You stay in control of which leaders to follow, how much each one manages, and when to disconnect - the bot just handles the execution.

Real talk

Leaderboards have a survivorship bias problem - losers stop reporting, only winners stay visible. A 30-day +200% leader can be 1 in 100 lucky shots. Do the boring work: 14-30 day paper trial, check max drawdown and Sharpe (not just ROI), diversify across 3-5 leaders, cap single-leader exposure at 20%. Performance fees (typically 10-15% of profits) plus standard exchange fees eat into your net return - factor them in before you are impressed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick glossary

Definitions for the trading terms used on this page.

Backtest
A simulation of how a strategy would have performed on historical price data. Past results never guarantee future returns - markets change.
Slippage
The difference between the price you expect and the price you actually get when an order fills. Worse on illiquid pairs and during fast markets.
Spread
The gap between the best buy price (bid) and the best sell price (ask). Tight spreads = liquid market, wider spreads = more cost per round trip.
Stop-loss
An automatic exit order that closes a losing position when price hits a chosen threshold. Caps how much one bad trade can hurt you.
Take-profit
An automatic exit order that closes a winning position once price reaches a chosen target. Locks in gains without relying on you to watch the chart.
Volatility
How sharply price moves. High volatility = bigger swings in both directions, which means more opportunity but also more drawdown risk.
