FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does copy trading guarantee profits?
No. Copy trading does not guarantee profit. A strategy that performed well in the past can lose money in the future.
Do I still need to manage risk?
Yes. You remain responsible for your account, capital allocation and risk decisions.
Can copied trades differ from the source strategy?
Yes. Execution timing, pricing, account settings, liquidity and allocation rules can cause differences.
Is copy trading available on every account?
Not necessarily. Feature availability depends on the platform and account configuration.
Important Information

Copy trading carries market risk. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results, and following another strategy does not remove your responsibility for risk management or account decisions.
