CopyTrading

What is the CopyTrading feature?

The CopyTrading is a feature that will allow you to receive automated signals from a Signal Provider (a successful trader, for example) and copy them into your favorite broker/s account/s, with your desired amounts and risk parameters.

Signal providers use their own strategies, and will operate manually or automatically with their respective indicators and configurations. Their trades will be copied and pasted into your account automatically, while you have a coffee, sleep or work.

Copy Trading Strategy

In just three simple steps you can start enjoying the full spectrum of the CopyTrading service:

  1. You send a subscription request to the signal provider you choose.
  2. You wait for the approval of your subscription request by the provider.
  3. If the request is approved, their trades will be copied and executed in your broker/s account/s.

Social Trading Exness

  • Trade amount: With this parameter you can decide the amount of each operation that will be placed in your account, coming from the signals of your Provider. You can choose between Fixed amount (all transactions will be of the same amount, for example 1 USD) or percentage % of the balance (the amount of each operation will be calculated based on a certain percentage of the total balance of your account, with the possibility of establishing a minimum amount)
  • Martingale: You will be able to override the Provider’s Martingale strategy with your own strategy by enabling “Overwrite provider settings” checkbox. Once enabled, configure the Martingale strategy as you desire. In case you want to leave the Martingale strategy as your Supplier, you should not enable this option.

To learn everything about the Martingale Strategy, click here. Once you have finished configuring these parameters, click the “OK” button.

4. The last step will be to get your subscriber account approved by the signal provider you have sent a subscription petition to. In case the signals the provider offers are free of charge, you will get automatically approved and start receiving signals on your account. In case the provider charges profit-share commission, he will need to approve the petition personally.
