Copy Trading Service Glossary

Here’s a quick guide to help you understand the core terms used in the Copy Trading Service system:

Trader

A user who shares their trading strategy. Their trades are automatically copied to the accounts of Investors who subscribe to them.

Investor 

A user who subscribes to a Trader and has their trades copied to their own account – no need to place trades manually.

Conditions 

These are the main settings defined by the Trader. They include how commissions are processed and other rules that apply to all Investors subscribing to that Trader.

Commission Scheme

Part of the Trader’s Conditions – this defines how the Investor pays the Trader for copied trades.

Investment Period

The timeframe set by the Trader for calculating and paying commissions (e.g., weekly, 2 weeks, 4 weeks).

Extra Settings

Optional details a Trader can add to their account, such as strategy description, minimum funds required to subscribe, and others.

Subscription

The connection between an Investor and a Trader. Once active, the system automatically copies the Trader’s operations to the Investor’s account.

Copying mode 

A setting chosen by the Investor for each subscription. It determines how the volume of copied trades is calculated based on factors such as account equity and ratio.

Rating

A page where Investors can view performance stats for different Traders, helping them choose who to subscribe to.

Yield

A Rating metric that shows the Trader’s performance – it reflects how much profit (in %) their account has generated over a specific period.

Drawdown

Another Rating metric that shows the biggest drop (in %) between a Trader’s equity and balance, helping to assess potential risk.
