MT4 / MT5 Copy Trading System

So what is copy trading exactly? The best way to describe it would be as a kind of portfolio management. The idea is to give your clients a collection of trading strategies they can evaluate and copy into their accounts.

Experienced traders provide the trading strategies offered in your program. Clients can browse the results these experienced traders are getting and choose to copy the best trades to their broker accounts.

Copy trading is a valuable starting point for less-experienced traders and traders who don’t have much free time to devote to their trading activity. While it is a form of automated trading, clients can choose which traders to copy and how so much broader personal choice is involved.

The process usually focuses on short-term trades such as day trading. However, retail traders have also successfully used the method as a longer-term investment strategy for trading forex.

Offering a copy trading platform is a proven way to attract more clients to your brokerage. As a result, copy trading is growing in popularity, and more and more retail clients are actively looking for brokers offering this feature.

How to copy trade

There are various ways to copy trade, but the most popular method uses a rating system to grade the strategies with ratings for the results. These could be live and historical data, the track record of a specific strategy provider, profitability, maximum risk, and trade amounts.

Traders can choose to mirror the strategies completely or make changes to them. These changes can be take profit and stop loss levels, for example, risk management or the percentage of funds allocated to a strategy.

All a trader needs to do is choose which strategies to follow and copy these to their trading accounts.

What are the benefits of copy trading?
