Manage Copy Trading Settings & Orders

Initiate a Trade

Step 1: On your Copy Trading Master subaccount, please click on Tools → Copy Trading in the navigation bar to enter the Copy Trading page.

Step 2: If you’re entering the Copy Trading page for the first time to initiate a trade, please click on My Copy Trading (Master Trader) → Transfer to make a deposit.

You will need to transfer funds to your Unified Trading Account within your Master Trader Subaccount.

Step 3: Click on Initiate Trade on the right side of the Trader's Center (Master Trader) and you will be redirected to the USDT Perpetual trading page.

All order placement features and trading tools available for USDT Perpetual trading are supported for Master Traders. You can see the number of Followers copying trades for the respective trading pair above your order zone. To view the supported trading pair under Copy Trading, please visit here.

Congratulations! Your trade has been successfully initiated.

View Order and Position Details

You can view the position or order details from the USDT Perpetual trading page or Trader's Center (Master Trader) → Trades page. Both pages will present the same data.

On the Trader's Center page, you can view order details either By Order or By Contract. Under the By Order tab, it shows the orders placed by each respective Master Trader. Under the By Contract tab, all orders for the same trading pairs opened in the same direction are consolidated into one position. The position Average Entry Price, Order Quantity, Mark Price, and Liquidation Price are displayed from a position perspective. It will be reset only when the respective direction of the position is fully closed.

The unrealized P&L on both tabs is calculated based on the average entry price. To view each order history, go to your Unified Trading Order page. For more information, please refer to FAQ — Copy Trading.

Set TP/SL

To set a TP/SL for your orders upon order creation, simply click on the Take Profit/Stop Loss on the order zone when you create your order. Alternatively, you can set a TP/SL for your open position from the position tab. For more details, please refer to this page.

Cancel Order or Close Position

To cancel your order, you can go to the Open Orders tab on the Perpetual Trading page.

To close a position, go to the Positions tab and you can close by Limit or Market order. If you want to close using other strategies such as a conditional order, you can either utilize our built-in TP/SL function (for Hedge mode) or place it from the order zone in One-way mode.

Additionally, you can place a closing order directly from the order zone under the Hedge Mode. Simply fill out the order information and click on Close Short/Long, depending on the direction you wish to close.

Note: If the Master Trader‘s position in a trading pair is liquidated, all positions in the corresponding trading pair in the same direction of Followers will also be closed.

Manage Your Master Trader Profile

Edit Your Personal Settings

To go to your Personal Settings Page, click on My Copy Trading → Edit Profile to manage your Account Info, Follower Settings, and Privacy Settings. Please note that any updates to the Account Info will need 1 – 3 business days for approval.
