Copy Trading
Automatic trade replication from personal wallet to funded vaults.
Overview
Copy Trading allows traders to automatically replicate their personal trading activity to their funded vaults. When enabled, trades placed on your personal wallet are proportionally copied to each vault with copy trading enabled.
How It Works
You place an order on your personal wallet
System detects the new trade
For each copy-enabled vault, calculates proportional size
Executes scaled trade on vault
Enabling Copy Trading
During Proposal Acceptance
When accepting a proposal, enable the copy trading checkbox.
After Vault Creation
Navigate to Funding > Vaults
Select the vault
Click Settings
Toggle Copy Trading on
Configure slippage tolerance
Position Sizing
Vault trades are proportionally scaled based on balance ratios.
Example:
Your balance
$10,000
Vault balance
$5,000
Your trade size
0.1 BTC
Vault trade size
0.04 BTC
A safety factor (80%) is applied to:
Prevent over-sizing due to price movements
Leave buffer for slippage and fees
Slippage Tolerance
Copied trades accept some price slippage to ensure execution:
Market orders
5%
Close positions
8%
TP/SL triggers
10%
Why Different Levels:
Market orders: Tighter for better execution
Closes: Wider to ensure position closure
TP/SL: Widest to ensure trigger execution
Trade Types Copied
Included:
Market orders (buy/sell)
Limit orders (when filled)

Auto-Reconciliation
Positions are automatically aligned between your wallet and vaults:
Detects position mismatches
Closes orphan vault positions
Never opens new positions (close-only)
Example:
Your wallet: No BTC position
Vault: 0.05 BTC long (orphan)
Action: Vault's BTC position is closed
Error Handling
Consecutive Failures
After 5 failed copy attempts, vault auto-pauses to prevent continued failed executions. Manual review required to resume.
Common Failure Reasons
Insufficient balance
Vault balance too low
Wait for balance update
Slippage exceeded
Price moved too fast
Adjust slippage settings
Size too small
Below $10 minimum
Normal, order skipped
Vault paused
Risk limit breached
Review vault status
