Managing Your Copy Settings

Accessing Copy Settings

Navigate to Copy Trading > Settings (/dashboard/copy-trading/settings) to manage all your copy trading configurations.

Per-Leader Settings

Each leader you follow has independent settings:

Risk Multiplier

• Range: 0.1x to 3.0x

• Default: 1.0x

• Impact: Scales the leader's risk percentage up or down

• Change applies to: New trades only (existing positions are not affected)

Maximum Leverage

• Range: 1x to 50x

• Default: 10x

• Impact: Caps the leverage on any single copy trade

• Tip: Start conservative (5-10x) and increase only after monitoring

Allocation

• Range: 1% to 100% of your wallet equity

• Default: 100%

• Impact: Limits how much of your portfolio can be used for this leader's trades

Symbols Filter (optional)

• Restrict copy trading to specific symbols (e.g., only BTC and ETH)

• Leave empty to copy all symbols the leader trades

Global Copy Settings

Emergency Halt

The kill switch immediately stops all copy trading:

1. Go to Settings (/dashboard/settings)

2. Click Emergency Halt

3. All copy subscriptions are paused

4. No new copy trades will execute

5. Existing positions remain open

To resume: Click Resume Trading in the settings page.

Default Risk Parameters

Set platform-wide defaults that apply when you follow new leaders:

• Default risk multiplier

• Default max leverage

• Default allocation percentage

Best Practices

1. Start with low risk multiplier (0.5x) until you understand the leader's trading style

2. Set conservative leverage caps — even if the leader uses 20x, you don't have to

3. Diversify across leaders — don't allocate 100% to one leader

4. Monitor regularly — check the Risk Dashboard for resized or rejected trades

5. Use testnet first — practice with fake money before going live
