To sucessfully copy trading strategies on our copy trading platform please refer to the guide below

1.1 The Copy Process
The complete copy process:
Go to the Copy Trading page> select a trader> sign copier agreement> set copy parameters> Start copying
Note 1: A copy agreement needs to be signed before your first copy;
Note 2: The actual income of the copier may be inconsistent with that of the lead trader. For details, please refer to the precautions 4.

Copying Detailed steps
<1> Enter the Copy Trading page, screen out excellent traders.



<2>Select the trader, click the trader's profile photo to enter his page, and check the trader's data



<3>A copy agreement needs to be signed before your first copy. So please agree to and sign the agreement.



<4> For Quick Copy Mode: set the copy amount and leverage multiple, and the rest of the parameters will be executed according to the default parameters. Then click “Quick Copy”. The pop-up box will remind you to confirm the copying parameters then you can start to copy.



<5>For Advanced Copy, click [Advanced Copying Mode] to enter a detailed

page of copying parameter settings:
Basic copy parameters: This is mandatory. If the user does not set the custom parameters of the future separately, all the copy will be carried out according to the basic copy parameters.

Customize copying parameters: The user can select the future type to be copied. Users can set custom copy parameters for different futures. Then the futures with custom copy parameters can be executed according to custom parameters, and the rest of the futures will be executed according to the basic copy parameters.



<6> Full copy mode
The copier completely follows the trader in accordance with his leverage multiple, cross margin/isolated margin mode, and selects all the futures led by the trader. Then follow the trader to open/add a position or close/reduce a position in accordance with the trader's fund proportion, which will makes the copier consistent with the trader in ROI.

<7>In the order information of [Copy Mode], you can click the [Close] button on the current order to close the position, which then will be closed at the market price immediately;


1.2 Copier’s Margin
Every time you follow a trader, the funds of the spot account will be transferred to the sub-account in the form of a virtual sub-account, and the sub-account will only follow the trader to do copy trading. After the copy trading, it will be liquidated. After deducting the share and transaction fees, the remaining funds will be transferred to the spot account.

2. Copy Future
2.1 Copiers’ logic
<1> Copy trading is based on the number of positions rebalanced by the trader. The number of copy trades (rounded down) = the ratio of copy * the number of positions adjusted. If the quantity is less than the minimum copy number of the contract, it will not be copied.
<2>According to the user's available funds and future leverage ratio (trader's leverage is used by default, the user can also specify the leverage ratio) to calculate the number of copies that can be traded by the follower, otherwise the copy will fail.
<3> Without considering the copy multiple, leverage system, and single transaction constraints, the copiers will copy the position change of the lead trader until the copy funds are unavailable. When the lead trader reduces the position of the corresponding copy future, the copier will have available funds accordingly.

2.2 Description of Copying Future
This system provides 20 future trading pairs that support copying, which is set by the trader in the lead mode. Users can select freely within the range set by the trader, with at least one being selected, all of which can be selected. The user will only copy for the selected future, the unselected future will not be copied.
This setting can be filtered in the Copy - Advanced Copy Mode- Select Future.


3. Description of the Copy parameter
3.1Quick Copy(full copy mode ), Advanced Mode(free copy mode)
Quick copy(full copy mode)
<1> In this mode, the copier will follow the lead trader to open a position in accordance with their available fund proportion, and follow the the lead trader to close a position in accordance with their holding proportion, with the rest parameter settings completely copying the leader trader.


<2> In this mode, the copier will completely follow the lead trader's trading parameters, with no need to set the trading leverage, who will completely follow the leverage used by the lead trader. If the lead trader uses 100X leverage, the copier will also use 100X leverage. Besides, the copier can break through the original 20X leverage limit of BTC/ETH, which, however, has a high risk, so copiers should copy with caution.

Advanced Copy(free copy mode):
On the [Copy Settings] page, you can set the copy amount and allow users to select the copy future. Also, you can set different parameters for each future such as the copy amount, leverage multiple, copy multiple rate, amount limit for a single copy, take profit ratio, stop loss ratio and so on:
<1> 10 ≤ copy amount ≤ upper limit of trader copy limit (depending on the trader's level), and copy amount ≤ available amount of spot account;
<2> You need to set the leverage multiple, copy multiple rate, the setting of the single copy limit, and the maximum copy amount limit in the basic copy parameters.
<3> Select at least one future to copy. If the subsequent trader cancels the leading of this future, the original copiers will not be affected (keep the future in “selected” status). And the new copiers will use the new future list for operations selection.


3.2 Description of Setting Parameters
Profit-sharing ratio: the user copies the trader, the profit-sharing ratio is set by the trader and cannot be modified by the user.
Leverage multiple: the setting range is BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT with 1-20 times of the optional range and 1-10 times for other futures. (if the set leverage multiple is beyond the threshold, it will be automatically adjusted as the maximum value of the future).
Copy Amount: This is mandatory, that is, the total amount that the user copies the trader, and the amount range will vary according to the level of the trader being copied.
Copy Multiple Rate: This is mandatory, the range is 0.01-100, the number of copies of futures by the user = the number of futures placed by the trader * the copy multiple rate.
Amount limit for a single copy: Required, the upper limit of the margin used for a single transaction of the future.
Take Profit Ratio: Optional, which should be >0, when the profit ratio of the future ≥ the take profit ratio, the future will be cleared. If the trader increases the position, it will continue to follow.
Stop Loss Ratio: This is optional, and should be 0-100%. When the loss ratio of the future is greater than or equal to the stop loss ratio, the future will be cleared. If the trader increases the position in the future, it will continue to follow.

4. How to close a position?
4.1 Manually stop copying
The copiers can perform the [Stop Copy] operation on the current copy trader in the current copy trader management in [Copy Mode], and it will no longer follow the traders and immediately close a position for the current future at the market price. Also, the profit-sharing settlement will be carried out and the remaining funds will be returned to the user's spot account, with the profit share of the trader issued before 10:00 am the next day.


4.2 Automatic stop copying
The user can customize the time interval of 1-30 days ([30] by default ), If the copier does not make a trade at the specified time (e.g. 30 days), the copy will be stopped and the copied future will be automatically closed at the market price.



5. Profit-sharing Rules
The profits of the original closed positions to be distributed to the trader will be frozen first when all copied futures are cleared. After the unified settlement before 10:00 am the next day, the profit share will be carried out, with the total profit = total profit - total loss.
If the copiers stop copying, the share settlement will be carried out immediately, the remaining funds will be returned to the copier's spot account, and the trader's profit share will be issued before 10:00 am the next day.
Sharing Percentage: Traders can adjust the sharing percentage at any time, within the scope of their trader level authority:
<1> Increase: the original copiers will not be affected, and the new copiers will use the new Sharing Percentage to copy.
<2> Lower: the original copiers and the new copiers use the new sharing percentage to copy. The sharing profit for the trader = ∑ (single future win and loss amount * Sharing Percentage); if the sharing profit > 0, the profit share will be made immediately, If < 0, it will not, and the original frozen amount will be returned to the copiers’ account.

How to check the profit: enter “Copy Trading-Trader Mode”, click and check “profit-sharing” to check the profit



6. How to check the profit of a copy?
In the order information of [Copy Mode], you can view the copy profit of each copied future (without deducting the profit-sharing).


In the copy traders’ list of [Copy Mode], you can view the copy income data of the traders you follow.


7.Important Functions for Copiers


7.1 Adjust copying parameters & supplement copying fund amount

In order to meet the user's demand for parameter adjustment after copying, the current version supports copiers adjusting the copying parameters. And users can also adjust their own copying parameters after copying (such as leverage adjustment, supplementing copying funds, etc.)

The specific process of adjusting the copying parameters is as follows: enter copy trading home page - enter the corresponding "lead trader's homepage" - click "check copying parameters" - adjust the corresponding parameters

The specific process of supplementing copying amount is as follows: enter copy trading home page - enter the corresponding "lead trader's homepage" - click "supplement copy amount" (fill in the supplemented amount) - or click "check copy parameters" - click "supplement copy funds" (fill in the supplemented funds)




7.2 Increase the option to start copying when the lead trader has no position

In order to avoid the problem that the copier has a position to run before the copier follow his operation, which will result in the inconsistency of ROI between the lead trader and the copier, the current version supports the copier choosing to start copying when the lead trader has no position. When ticking in the check box "start copying when the lead trader has no position" means that the copier only starts to copy after the lead trader has no position, when not ticking in the check box "start copying when the lead trader has no position" (by default) means that the copier begins copying immediately, and does not consider whether the lead trader has a position or not before copying.

Tips: In order to try to ensure that the ROI of the copier is close to that of the lead trader, the copier had better select "start copying when the lead trader has no position"

The specific process of how a user selects "start copying when the lead trader has no position"

The specific process of the users under copying is shown in the figure above: enter copy trading home page - enter the corresponding "lead trader's homepage" - click "check the copying parameters" - select "start copying when the lead trader has no position"
The specific process of the user who will copy is shown in the following figure: enter copy trading home page - filter the lead traders- click the copy button- select "start copying when the lead trader has no position" - or enter copy trading home page - select the advanced copy mode - select "start copying when the lead trader has no position"



7.3 Supplement the margin

In the process of copying, if the lead trader the copier follows has opened a position, the copier can supplement the margin to ensure the sustainability of copying. You can use the available balance of the spot account or the current copying account to supplement the margin.

Specific process of supplementing the margin: enter copy trading homepage - click "My copy trading" - select the copy mode - order information - supplement the margin - select the debit account - fill in the supplemented amount - confirm





7.4 Copiers can Transfer Copying Returns at Any Time


In order to protect the interests of copiers, Gate.io Copy Trading has now enabled copiers to transfer earned returns at any time.

How to do a transfer?

Copiers can enter "My Copy Trading" - "Copying Mode", and click "My Performance" to check your trades. Then click the homepage of the lead trader you are following and click "Adjust the Amount” to transfer out the return amount.

Note: Copiers need to reasonably set the amount to be transferred according to their actual situation, which can not be greater than the total copying profit.



When to transfer your returns?

If copiers think that the future transaction risk is too high and want to lock in profits, they can transfer out returns at any time after they realize the profit, so as to protect their own interests to the greatest extent and reduce losses.
However, copiers also need to be cautious when transferring their returns. Transferring too much profit may lead to a reduction in trading principal, which may weaken their ability to resist risks, and increase the possibility of liquidation.

8. Notes For Copy
<1> Traders who are already in copying are not allowed to be re-copied. Adjustment of the copying parameters are not supported for the time being. The trader can be copied again after the copying is over.
<2> Traders with full slots are not allowed to be copied.

11. Copy Trading-Copiers-FAQs

11.1 Why is there an inconsistency between the ROI of traders and the ROI of copiers?

<1> The different deposit amounts between the trader and the copier will lead to a different ROI. If the copier has insufficient funds, he will be unable to follow the trader in the follow-up trades.

The current logic of the copiers: the copier follows the position change of the trader for as long as his/her copy funds’ balance allows. If the previous operation/trade of the trader occupies all of the copier’s funds, the copier cannot follow the subsequent trades of the trader. Follow the link for more details: Special Copy Trading Notes.

<2> If a trader has an open future contract position before the copiers copy him, and adds a position after the copy user has copied, there will be different costs for the copiers and the trader on this same future, and different income after the position is closed.
<3> The copiers set the copy leverage in the copy parameters, which results in different income between the trader and a copier after the position is closed.
<4> The leverage of the copiers and traders is inconsistent. Currently, considering risk control, the maximum leverage of future copiers is 20 times, while the maximum leverage of some future traders is 100x, and the inconsistency of leverage may lead to inconsistent benefits between the two.
<5> Copiers used the copy multiplier, which refers to the multiple of the trader's position change. For example, if you set 10 times, the trader adds 10 futures and the copier will increase the position 10 * 10 = 100 futures, and the copy multiplier can be set between 0.01 and 100. It is recommended to set the copy multiplier according to the fund amount of copiers and the proportion of funds of traders. For example, when the interest of the traders is 1000usdt, and the copiers' fund is 100usdt, it is recommended to set the copy multiplier to 0.1 (100/1000), and the copier's fund is 5000usdt. The copy rate can be set to 5 (5000/1000=5).

11.2 What should a copier do to avoid the inconsistency between the ROI of traders and the ROI of copiers?

The platform recommends that the copiers try to copy with the investment funds that are similar to the trader’s investment funds.

11.3 How to calculate the copier’s income displayed on the copier’s user page? Why are the total copy earnings different from the sum of individual copy earnings?

Copy Earnings of Copiers = Historical Earnings - The Fee Deducted from the Current Position - Profit Sharing.


The historical earnings amount is equal to the sum of each copy ROI amount, as shown on the image above.

Note that the unrealized P&L currently displayed on the copy page is not included in the copy earnings.
