Copy Trading on Binance and Bybit

  1. What is copy trading?

    Copy trading allows you to replicate the trades of experienced traders automatically. When they make a trade, your account does the same, removing the need for manual trading.

  2. How do I set up copy trading?

    You can follow our detailed guides for setting up copy trading on Binance and Bybit. Make sure to complete all onboarding steps, including whitelisting where required.

  3. Do I need to complete the onboarding process every time?

    No, once you are whitelisted and set up, you should be able to continue copy trading without repeating the onboarding process—unless you unsubscribe from the service.

  4. What should I do if my copy trading option is locked?

    If your copy trading feature is locked after a session, please ensure you are still subscribed. If the issue persists, contact support with your Bybit or Binance UID for assistance.

  5. Can I use a mobile app for copy trading?

    Yes, but some email links may direct you to a web browser instead of the mobile app. If this happens, sign in via the web first, then follow the instructions to complete the process.

  6. How are stop-loss levels set?

    Stop-loss levels are predefined based on strategy parameters. However, we continuously review these settings to balance risk management with optimal trade performance.

  7. How do I get notifications for taking profits?

    Currently, notifications are not automatic, but we are working on improving this feature. For now, it’s recommended to monitor trades manually.

  8. How can the copy trading fund be improved?

    We are actively working on refining our trading strategies to optimize performance while managing risks effectively.

  9. Why do I need to accept a whitelist invite via email?

    Some exchanges require additional verification steps for security and compliance. This step ensures that only approved users can access copy trading services.

  10. What is the verification process for new users?

    The verification process depends on the exchange used. We are exploring ways to speed up verification and make the process smoother for users.
