Must-read pitfalls of copy trading: Regarding the drawdown stop loss standards for selected lead in copy trading: In actual trading, the risk control stop loss mechanism of the lead trader in copy trading is designed to ensure the capital safety of copy trading users. When the lead trader's losses or drawdowns reach the set 25% stop loss threshold, the system will trigger a stop loss operation, automatically closing the position to prevent further losses, thus protecting the funds of copy trading users.



Specifically, this stop loss is based on the floating profit and loss ratio of the lead trader in copy trading account. When the loss reaches 25%, the system will execute a market close position operation, terminating the current strategy or position to limit risk. The above is an annotation regarding the strict selection.

According to the annotations of the selected option, the selected lead in copy trading function can effectively protect the copy trading personnel. The actual situation is that a wave of market movement caused all positions of the copy traders to be forcefully closed, and there was no actual triggering of a 25% stop loss. The reason lies in the fact that the calculation of the drawdown is based on 24-hour data, not the real-time drawdown of the current position, so even I misunderstood the selected lead in copy trading drawdown of 25%.

Optimization Suggestions:
1: Please set your own stop loss for copy trading.

Whether you choose other lead traders in copy trading or other lead accounts, regardless of whether the lead account has joined the selected lead trading, you should set your own maximum loss ratio. Whether you choose smart mode or advanced mode, find the stop loss for copy trading and set the stop loss to 100%. Contract trading is inherently high risk. The market is ruthless, respect the market.

2: The copy trading ratio is moderate.

1. According to the proportion of available funds: dynamically calculate the copy trading leverage and adjust the trading quantity based on the proportion of available funds between the copy trading account and the trader's account.
2. According to the total asset ratio: dynamically calculated, the copy trading multiplier is determined based on the total asset ratio of both parties.
3. Fixed multiple: Users can set a fixed multiple (between 0.01 and 100) by themselves, which is multiplied by the position change amount of the trader for copy trading.

When choosing the appropriate copy trading method, one should consider their own capital amount, risk tolerance, and trust in the lead trader's strategy, and reasonably set the multiplier to achieve risk control and effective use of funds.
