Copy Trading and Social Trading

What is Copy Trading?

Copy Trading is an innovative feature that allows you to automatically mirror the trading strategies of experienced and successful traders on the Citadel Markets Pro platform. When you copy a trader, every position they open or close is replicated in your account in real-time, proportional to your allocated investment amount.

This revolutionary approach to trading eliminates the need for extensive market knowledge or constant monitoring. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn from experts or an experienced trader seeking to diversify your portfolio, Copy Trading provides a hands-free solution to participate in the financial markets with confidence.

How Copy Trading Works

Our Copy Trading system is designed to be simple, transparent, and effective. Here's how it works:

Benefits of Copy Trading

Copy Trading offers numerous advantages for traders of all experience levels:

• Learn from the Best - Gain insights into professional trading strategies by observing how expert traders navigate different market conditions and make decisions in real-time.
• Save Time - Eliminate the need for hours of market analysis, research, and monitoring. Let experienced traders do the heavy lifting while you focus on other priorities.
• Diversification - Copy multiple traders with different strategies, risk profiles, and asset focuses to create a well-balanced and diversified trading portfolio.
• No Experience Required - Start trading immediately without needing extensive market knowledge or technical analysis skills. Perfect for beginners entering the financial markets.
• Full Transparency - Access complete trading histories, performance metrics, risk scores, and verified results for every trader on our platform before making your decision.
• Risk Management - Set your own risk parameters, stop-loss levels, and maximum investment amounts to ensure your portfolio aligns with your personal risk tolerance.
• Maintain Control - You retain full control over your account. Pause copying, adjust allocations, or manually close positions whenever you want without restrictions.

How to Choose a Trader

Selecting the right trader to copy is crucial for your success. Consider these key factors when making your decision:

• Performance History - Review the trader's historical returns over different time periods. Look for consistent profitability rather than sporadic high gains, as steady performance often indicates a sustainable strategy.
• Risk Score - Each trader has a risk score from 1-10. Lower scores indicate conservative strategies with smaller drawdowns, while higher scores suggest aggressive approaches with higher volatility.
• Trading Frequency - Consider how often the trader opens positions. High-frequency traders may generate more commissions, while longer-term strategies typically have lower transaction costs.
• Asset Focus - Check which markets and instruments the trader focuses on. Some specialize in forex, others in cryptocurrencies, stocks, or commodities. Choose based on your market preferences.
• Drawdown Management - Examine the maximum drawdown periods. Traders who effectively manage losing streaks and limit drawdowns demonstrate superior risk management skills.
• Number of Copiers - A large number of copiers can indicate trust and proven results, but also consider emerging traders with strong potential and lower minimum thresholds.

Risk Management in Copy Trading

While Copy Trading can be highly profitable, it's essential to implement proper risk management strategies:

• Start Small - Begin with a modest allocation to test how the copied strategy performs in your account. You can always increase your investment once you're comfortable with the results.
• Diversify Your Copies - Don't put all your capital with a single trader. Copy multiple traders with different strategies and risk profiles to spread your risk and increase stability.
• Set Stop-Loss Limits - Configure maximum loss thresholds for each trader you copy. The system will automatically stop copying if losses exceed your predetermined limit.
• Regular Monitoring - While Copy Trading is automated, regularly review your copied positions and trader performance. Market conditions change, and strategies that worked yesterday may not work tomorrow.
• Understand the Strategy - Take time to understand each trader's approach and risk philosophy. This helps you make informed decisions and set realistic expectations for returns and volatility.

Fees and Costs

Our Copy Trading service is designed to be transparent and cost-effective:

• No Subscription Fees - There are no monthly or annual fees to access the Copy Trading feature. You only pay standard trading spreads and commissions.
• Standard Trading Costs - Copied trades incur the same spreads and commissions as regular trades on our platform. There are no additional markup fees for copy trading functionality.
• Performance Fees - Some elite traders may charge a performance fee (typically 10-20% of profits) which is clearly disclosed before you start copying. Many traders charge no performance fees at all.
• Transparent Pricing - All fees and costs are clearly displayed in each trader's profile. There are no hidden charges or surprise deductions from your account.
