Set Your Copy Ratio

The copy ratio determines how much of your capital will be used relative to the trader's position size. For example, if a trader uses $10,000 and your ratio is 0.1, you'll use $1,000.

  • After successful registration, you'll see your current balance displayed
  • The system will automatically calculate a recommended ratio based on your balance and the trader's balance
  • You can use the recommended ratio or enter a custom ratio
  • Lower ratio = smaller position sizes (less risk, less potential profit)
  • Higher ratio = larger position sizes (more risk, more potential profit)
Example: Trader Balance: $100,000 Your Balance: $10,000 Recommended Ratio: 0.1 (10%) If trader buys $5,000 worth of BTC, you'll buy $500 worth of BTC
