About Copy Trading

What Is Deriv Copy Trading?

Deriv copy trading allows users to automatically copy supported trades from one Deriv account to another using secure API token connections. A trader account executes trades, while connected copier accounts can automatically follow those supported trades according to their own settings. This helps users participate in trading activity without manually entering every trade themselves.

How Deriv Copy Trading Works

CopyTrades connects trader and copier accounts using secure Deriv API tokens. When a supported trade is executed by a connected trader account, CopyTrades automatically attempts to replicate that trade on connected copier accounts according to each copier's configured settings and multipliers. Users retain full control of their funds and Deriv accounts at all times.

Trader And Copier Accounts

The Deriv copy trading ecosystem consists of two primary account types. Trader accounts are managed by users who execute their own trading strategies. Connected copier accounts can choose to follow supported trades from these trader accounts according to their own settings.

Copiers maintain complete custody over their own capital and can disconnect, pause copying, or adjust trade sizing multipliers at any time. Users retain full control of their funds and Deriv accounts throughout the copy trading process.

Risk Management In Copy Trading

Deriv copy trading allows copiers to automatically follow supported trades from connected trader accounts, but all trading involves risk. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results, and market volatility may lead to losses.

Before starting copy trading, copiers should review a trader's performance, choose appropriate risk settings, and use lot multipliers responsibly. Never risk money you cannot afford to lose, and regularly monitor your account to ensure it remains aligned with your trading objectives.
