About CopyTrades
What is Copy Trading?
Copy trading is an innovative approach to participating in the financial markets that allows individuals to automatically replicate the trading activity of experienced traders. By linking your account to a chosen trader's portfolio, any trade they execute is instantly and proportionally copied to your own account. This means you can benefit from their expertise, market analysis, and trading strategies without having to spend hours monitoring charts or making complex trading decisions yourself. It is an ideal solution for both beginners looking to learn and busy professionals seeking a hands-off trading experience.
How CopyTrades Works
CopyTrades simplifies the connection between Master (Trader) and Slave (Copier) accounts specifically for Deriv users. Our platform utilizes secure API tokens provided by Deriv to facilitate communication between accounts. We do not hold your funds, nor do we require your account passwords. Instead, you generate a specific API token with "Read" and "Trade" permissions from your Deriv dashboard and input it into our secure panel. Our low-latency system then continuously monitors the Master account for new trades, modifications, or closures, and instantly broadcasts those exact actions to all connected Copier accounts, ensuring precision and speed.
For Trader Accounts
If you are a successful trader with a proven strategy, CopyTrades provides the infrastructure to seamlessly scale your operations and manage a community of copiers. You trade exactly as you normally would on the Deriv platform—whether via MT5, DTrader, or automated bots. Our platform works silently in the background, copying your positions to your followers without any added latency to your own execution. We provide you with a comprehensive dashboard to monitor your connected copiers, review trade history, and manage your network efficiently.
For Copier Accounts
As a copier, your primary goal is to securely follow the trades of a master account. CopyTrades ensures this process is transparent, secure, and entirely within your control. Because the system operates via API tokens, your actual Deriv account credentials remain completely private. You simply link your account, and our system handles the execution of trades. Furthermore, you maintain 100% control over your account balance—you can intervene, manually close trades, pause the copying process, or revoke the API token entirely from your Deriv dashboard at any moment.
API Security and Risk Controls
Security is the foundational pillar of the CopyTrades platform. We strictly require API tokens that only have "Read" and "Trade" permissions. We explicitly reject and do not require tokens with "Admin" or "Payment" permissions, meaning our system physically cannot process withdrawals or transfers from your account. Your funds remain securely in your Deriv wallet at all times. Communication between our servers and the Deriv API is fully encrypted, ensuring your data and trading signals are protected against interception.
Why Use CopyTrades?
CopyTrades was built to bridge the gap between talented traders and those seeking automated market participation, specifically tailored for the Deriv ecosystem. We offer unparalleled execution speed, robust security measures, and a user-friendly interface that removes the technical barriers traditionally associated with API trade copying. Whether you are looking to automate your investment strategy by following an expert, or you are a trader looking to provide your signals to a wider audience safely, CopyTrades delivers a reliable, high-performance solution.
