Smart Copy Trading for Futures
مقدمة ميزة المتابعين
What is Smart Copy Trading?
Smart Copy Trading is a feature that lets you mirror the trades of an expert trader in futures trading. It automatically matches your trades to theirs using the same capital ratio, leverage, and margin settings. When the trader opens a position, the system calculates the ratio of their margin to their account balance and applies it to your total investment, determining the size of your position.
Example: If a trader has $10,000 USDT in their account and opens a long position in BTCUSDT futures using 5x leverage and $500 USDT (5% of their equity), your account will follow automatically. If your copy trading amount is $1,000 USDT, your position margin will be 5% of that, or $50 USDT, with the same 5x leverage.With Smart Copy Trading, all you need to do is set your total investment amount. There’s no need to adjust any other settings. The trader takes care of risk management and strategy, while you enjoy the convenience of automated profits.
How Does Smart Copy Trading Improve Traditional Copy Trading?
Traditional futures copy trading usually follows each individual order and uses the user’s default leverage settings. This can result in inconsistent returns.
Smart Copy Trading focuses on overall position ratios, replicating the trader’s strategy more accurately and delivering consistent results.
