Copy Trading Engine.
Turn Followers Into Revenue.
90% of retail traders lose money. That's not a bug—it's the business model. But what if they could copy the 10% who don't? They stay longer, deposit more, and you collect fees on every trade. Everyone wins. Mostly you.
The "90/90/90" Rule That Nobody Talks About
90% of retail traders lose 90% of their money in their first 90 days. Then they blame the platform, request a chargeback, and disappear forever. You paid $300 to acquire them, and they lasted three months. That's not sustainable. There's a better way.
The Churn Catastrophe
A blown account is a lost customer—plus a potential chargeback, a bad review on ForexPeaceArmy, and a passive-aggressive email to your compliance team. If they could just follow someone who knows what they're doing, they might stick around for years instead of weeks.
The "Too Busy" Excuse
"I don't have time to watch charts all day." Copy trading solves this. They deposit, browse the leaderboard, click "Follow," and go back to their actual job. Their account trades automatically. You get volume. They get to feel like investors instead of gamblers.
The Volume Multiplier Effect
When a Master opens a 1-lot EURUSD position and 100 Followers are copying at 0.1 lots each, that's 11 lots total from a single click. Your B-book exposure or commission revenue just went 10x. The math is beautiful.
Turn Your Clients Into a Community.
(A Profitable One).
Our Copy Trading engine is built directly into the CRM—not some third-party plugin that breaks every update. Masters get verified profiles. Followers get a "Copy" button. You get a dashboard to manage fees, risk limits, and the master approval queue.

How the Magic Actually Happens
It's not complicated. Masters trade, Followers copy, you take a cut. But the devil is in the details—and we've handled every edge case so you don't have to.
For the Master (Provider)
Masters trade on their normal MT5 account—nothing special to install. They just set their fees in the portal and wait for followers to arrive.
- Performance Fee: Take 20%, 30%, or 50% of follower profits
- Subscription Fee: Charge $50/month just to follow
- Privacy Mode: Hide open trades, show only closed history
- Verification: Submit track record for admin approval
For the Follower (Subscriber)
Followers browse the leaderboard, check stats (Drawdown, ROI, Sharpe Ratio), and click "Copy." They stay in control with multiple safety mechanisms.
- Equity Ratio: Copy proportionally to account size
- Rescue Level: "If I lose 20%, stop copying immediately"
- Manual Override: Close any copied trade at any time
- Multi-Follow: Copy multiple masters simultaneously
Three Ways to Monetize Copy Trading
Performance fees, subscription fees, management fees—or all three. You decide the split between the Master, the Broker, and the platform.
Performance Fee
Masters take 20-30% of follower profits. Calculated at high-water mark to prevent double-dipping after drawdowns.
Subscription Fee
Fixed monthly fee to access a master's signals. Great for masters who want guaranteed income regardless of performance.
Management Fee
Annual percentage of assets under management. Typically 1-2% AUM charged quarterly, regardless of performance.
How We Prevent "Fee Abuse"
Masters only earn performance fees on NEW profits above the previous peak. No charging fees for recovering from their own mistakes. Fair for followers, motivating for masters.
| Event | Follower P&L | High Water Mark | Fee Paid (20%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Month 1: Master makes +$1,000 | +$1,000 | $1,000 | $200 |
| Month 2: Master loses -$500 | -$500 | $1,000 (unchanged) | $0 |
| Month 3: Master makes +$800 | +$800 (Net +$300 above HWM) | $1,300 | $60 (20% of $300) |
How We Prevent "Master Blowups"
Because if the Master dies, the Followers shouldn't die with him. We've built multiple safety mechanisms to protect your clients from catastrophic losses.
Equity Protection
Followers can set a "Hard Stop" at any equity level. If their equity drops 20% from peak, the system instantly unlinks them from the Master and closes all copied positions.
Lot Size Scaling
If the Master trades with $100k and the Follower has $1k, we automatically scale lot sizes down by 100x. No accidental margin calls from mismatched account sizes.
Slippage Control
If price moves more than X pips between Master entry and Follower execution, we skip the trade entirely. Better to miss a trade than enter at a terrible price.
Max Drawdown Limits
Masters can be automatically hidden from the leaderboard if their drawdown exceeds your defined threshold. Protect your brand from promoting risky strategies.
Questions About Copy Trading
The real questions you want answered, not the marketing fluff.
Does it work across different brokers?
Yes, via our Cross-Broker Bridge. However, latency is lowest (and execution best) when both Master and Follower are on your server. We recommend keeping it internal for the best experience.
How fast is the trade copying?
Internal copying takes less than 50ms. It's effectively instant. We use direct database injection into MT5 Manager API, not slow REST API calls.
Can I vet Masters before they go public?
Absolutely. New Masters enter a pending queue where you can review their track record, verify their identity, and approve or reject them before they appear on the leaderboard.
Can I ban problematic traders?
Yes. As admin, you have full control. You can hide specific strategies from the leaderboard, ban users who engage in toxic scalping, or remove anyone who violates your terms.
What if a Master trades during news events?
You can configure "blackout periods" around NFP, ECB, and other high-volatility events. During these times, copying is paused to protect followers from slippage.
Is there a mobile app for followers?
Yes. Followers can browse the leaderboard, start/stop copying, and monitor their portfolio from your branded mobile app. Push notifications keep them engaged.
Turn Churn Into Revenue
Every trader who blows their account is a lost customer. Copy trading gives them a second chance—and gives you a second revenue stream. Let's set it up.
