Important notes #
cTrader Copy uses an equity-to-equity ratio model. Each copied trade is scaled based on the investor’s equity compared to yours. For example, if your account has €10,000 and you open a 1-lot position, an investor with €1,000 will copy 0.1 lots.
If you deposit or withdraw funds while positions are open, the investors accounts will automatically adjust, since the equity ratio changes. Once your strategy is created, it will be active and ready to be copied.
Your strategy page, you can see how many investors are copying you and the total capital under management. To change key settings, you’ll need to pause the strategy. This will close all investors positions. You can reactivate it at any time.
Strategies cannot be deleted manually. If a strategy is stopped or inactive for more than 30 days, cTrader will remove it automatically.
