If the amount on your account is significantly different from the amount that the trader has, or you do not have enough experience to evaluate the trading strategy, or you simply would like to test the selected account, we recommend you use the copying type "Copying a fixed share of the investor's equity". This way you minimize the risks and losses in case of a trader's unprofitable trade. For more details, see Social Trading -> How does it work?.
We strongly recommend that all investors carefully study the trader's profile, the description of the trader's account, the trading strategy and the rating of traders, before choosing the copying type. Also please remember that Social Trading is a social network of traders and investors, and you can always ask the trader you want to copy any question in a personal message or a news feed.

Does the Investor need a trading terminal in order to copy Trader's transactions?

No, it is sufficient for the Investor to simply register and start copying the selected Trader's account.

If the Trader trades at a loss, does the Investor lose money?

The investor independently decides on the choice of the Trader's account, which he will copy, and they are fully responsible for possible risks and loss of funds due to unprofitable trade on Trader's account.

How to minimize trading risks?

In order to minimize potential risks and losses when copy trading, we recommend that you set the Copy Stop Level for your investor account. Copying of new transactions will be automatically stopped when the funds on your account reach the established limit. Those transactions that have already been copied by the time the copying is stopped will be closed simultaneously with the Trader's account. Comparison and verification of the amount on the Investor's Account with the value of the Copy Stop Level occurs every 120 seconds. Another way to limit your risks is to copy in proportion to the investor's funds or to copy a certain percentage of the volume of each transaction. You can adjust the level of risk by specifying a small percentage of the volume of copied transactions or in case you do not use all of your funds for copying. Do not forget that with these settings, the potential profit will also decrease in a similar proportion.

Withdrawals for Investors

After the investor submits an application for withdrawal of funds, the rollover procedure is performed automatically. During the withdrawal of funds, the commission of the trader is deducted in advance from the funds available for withdrawal (funds available for withdrawal = Investor's funds - Margin - Trader's commission).
If there is a shortage of available funds on the investor's account for charging the trader's commission during the rollover, the funds are written off in part, i.е. the amount of non-margin funds is written off and debt created. If there is debt on any investor's account, you will not be able to open new investor accounts and withdraw funds from other accounts until the debt is repaid. On all investor accounts, a pause mode is activated. You can see information about the debts on the investor's accounts in the client's cabinet. You can repay the debt by making a deposit using your usual payment system, or by making an internal transfer from the Tifia account. Please be advised that in order to resume copying you need to pay off debts on all accounts.

What is pause in copy trading?

A pause is meant to stop copy trading for a while, and the pause mode is enabled in the following cases:
initiated by the trader;
initiated by the investor;
the mode turns on automatically when the copy stop level is reached;
the mode turns on automatically when the debt of the investor arises.
Pause can be initiated both by the trader and investor. The pause mode is provided only in order to suspend the copying of all new trades. Transactions that were opened before the pause mode is enabled will be closed synchronously with the trades on the trader's account. Pause does not mean closing of trades on the investor's account at the current market price and in no way minimizes trading risks and losses on already open transactions.

Can I change the settings on the investor's account?

Yes, you can. You can change the value of the copy stop level at any time. The copying type and settings of the investor account can be changed only when there are no open trades on the account.

Can I copy different traders?

Yes, you can. You can diversify the risks and invest your funds in several traders. One investor's account can be connected to one trader's account. For each account, you can set different settings and copying types.

How quickly are trades copied? Can the price change during this time?

Trades are copied very quickly, on average this process takes 0.5 seconds. However, copied deals are executed at current market prices. In this regard, the execution prices on the accounts of the trader and the investor may vary slightly.

Is the trader entitled to a commission for trades that the investor has closed independently?

No. A trader is entitled to a commission only for trades copied from their account. Trades that were opened by the investor on their own will not be taken into account when executing the Rollover procedure.

Should the leverage on the investor's account be equal to the leverage on the trader's account?

On the Social Trading platform, there are no rules regarding this issue. However, when connecting to the selected trader account, we recommend that you pay attention to the account currency and the size of the leverage. The discrepancy between these parameters may lead to a discrepancy in margin requirements on accounts. In this regard, we recommend setting up an account similar to a trader's account or registering a new trading account. You can see the size of the leverage and the currency of the account on the page of the selected account.

The trader that I copy opened a trade, but it did not open on my account. What is the reason?

This can happen in several cases:
1. insufficient funds on the investor's account;
2. a pause mode is enabled on the trader's account;
3. a pause mode is enabled on the investor's account;
4. service is disabled due to debt;
5. the copy stop level has been reached;
6. the volume of the copied trade is below the minimum trade volume established for the selected account type.

Can an investor apply for a rollover procedure?

Investors do not need to perform the rollover procedure. The trader determines the best time for the rollover and controls this process. However, when withdrawing funds or disconnecting the investor's account, an automatic rollover for this account will be performed.

The trader that I copy did not close the transactions, but on my account they closed. What is the reason?

This situation is possible in several cases:
1. Trades can be closed after changing the settings of your account. When you change the copying type of your investor's account, all open trades are automatically closed. Also, please note that changing the Copy Stop Level does not affect open trades in any way.
2. If you use a copying type other than Copy in Proportion to Investor's Funds, the trades will be closed by Stop Out, even if they do not on the trader's account.
3. If the copying type Copy in Proportion to Investor's Funds was used, see Paragraph 2.17.
4. Make sure that you have not changed trades copied from the trader's account, have not placed pending orders or opened your own trades. Any intervention in the trading of a trader can lead to a change in the level of your account margin, regardless of the trader's account, and as a result, closing of the trades by Stop Out.

For what reasons can a trade be closed without the participation of a trader when choosing the copying type Copy in Proportion to Investor's Funds?

It should be understood that accurate proportional copying is possible only if the trader has no open trades at the time of the start of copying. Otherwise, the volumes of copied transactions can not be calculated correctly, which can lead to Margin Call or Stop Out on the investor's account, even if the trader's margin level is sufficient to keep the positions open. We strongly recommend that investors who choose this type of copying should contact their traders to agree on the time to start copying. Traders are advised to inform their subscribers about the best time to start copying with the help of the Social Trading news feed, as well as about new deposits on the trader's account. This will allow investors to adjust their accounts on time. Thus, we can distinguish the following reasons for early closure of trades with the copying type Copy in Proportion to Investor's Funds:
Discrepancy in opening / closing prices on the accounts of the trader and the investor. Although the server copies the transaction within a few seconds, the price can still change.
The trader had open trades on their account by the time the investor has connected to them, which led to a disproportionate change in the funds of the investor and the trader.
Investor's independent trading on a copying trading account, which does not allow to correctly calculate the proportion of equity when copying trades.
The trader's account was replenished without taking into account the investors' accounts, which distorted the proportion between the funds on the accounts.

How does changing the Trader's Commission parameter affect investors?

The change in the Trader's Commission (profit share) does not apply to existing investors who already copy this trader. The trader's commission valid at the moment of connection of the investor's account to the trader's account, will be applied to the investor's account as long as it exists. If the investor's account has been disconnected and then reconnected to the same trader's account, the current Trader's Commission will be applied to the investor's account.

Why can’t I close positions using "Close By" and "Multiply Close By"?
