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

  1. You place an order on your personal wallet

  2. System detects the new trade

  3. For each copy-enabled vault, calculates proportional size

  4. Executes scaled trade on vault

Enabling Copy Trading

During Proposal Acceptance

When accepting a proposal, enable the copy trading checkbox.

After Vault Creation

  1. Navigate to Funding > Vaults

  2. Select the vault

  3. Click Settings

  4. Toggle Copy Trading on

  5. Configure slippage tolerance

Position Sizing

Vault trades are proportionally scaled based on balance ratios.

Example:

Value
Amount

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:

Order Type
Default Slippage

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)

  • TP/SL triggers

  • Position closes

Excluded:

  • Order modifications

  • Cancellations

  • Failed orders

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

Error
Cause
Resolution

Insufficient balance

Vault balance too low

Adjust slippage settings

Size too small

Below $10 minimum

Normal, order skipped

Best Practices

For Traders

  • Trade your personal account normally

  • Copy trading handles replication automatically

  • Monitor vault statuses for pauses

  • Keep position sizes reasonable

Risk Considerations

  • Slippage can vary between accounts

  • Market impact may differ at scale

  • Timing delays possible

  • Not suitable for high-frequency strategies

When to Disable

  • Testing new strategies

  • High-volatility events

  • When vault is near risk limits

  • Manual vault trading preferred
