Forex signals and copy trading: how they really work

How copy trading works

You link your account to a strategy provider and their trades are mirrored in yours, scaled to your balance. When their drawdown arrives, it arrives in your account too, at your size.

How to judge a provider

Look at the longest losing streak and the largest drawdown, not the headline return. A provider with modest profit and a shallow drawdown is easier to survive than one with a spectacular month and no history. Ignore anyone showing only wins — a real record includes losses.

Trading forex and CFDs on margin carries a high risk of losing more than you deposit. Most retail accounts lose money. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
