How it works
1. Sign Up
Create an account with a broker supporting cTrader, selecting 1:500 leverage and the raw spread cTrader account for optimal conditions.
We proudly partner with IC Markets Global and FP Markets, renowned for their ultra-fast execution, high leverage options, and outstanding customer support.
For index copy trading, please note that IC Markets does not currently offer .cash indices required for our trading strategies. To ensure compatibility with our indices and bitcoin strategies, we recommend using FP Markets instead, where all necessary indices are fully supported for optimal performance with our trading bots (0.01 lot size).
2. Download cTrader
For the best experience, you can download cTrader on your desktop or as a mobile app. Simply visit the broker website or your app store to download the platform.
To get started, log in to cTrader via your mobile or PC. Then, navigate to the cTrader Copy section and explore the wide range of copy trading opportunities.
3. Choosing a Strategy
Evaluate strategies based on performance and risk. With our strategies, a minimum investment of $500 is recommended, as the strategies are designed accordingly. Drawdowns may occur and are normal.
Fees and Costs
We charge only a performance fee. Some providers may charge additional management or volume-based fees.
Performance Potential
- Strategies are structured to perform optimally with a minimum of $500. However, based on the typical drawdown of up to $300, a more substantial investment can support smoother performance.
- A recommended investment of $1,000 allows for greater resilience against market fluctuations, increasing the likelihood of maintaining capital through drawdown periods and maximizing potential gains.
Risk Exposure
- With a $500 investment, a drawdown of $200-$300 would represent 40-60% of the portfolio, which is a substantial exposure. This level of risk could lead to significant capital depletion during adverse market periods, impacting the strategy's ability to recover and compound over time.
- At a $1,000 investment, a $200-$300 drawdown translates to 20-30% of the portfolio, a more manageable risk level that allows the strategy to better withstand downturns. This reduces the likelihood of capital erosion and enables the portfolio to stay in the market and capitalize on eventual recoveries.
Summary of Recommendation
- Minimum Investment ($100): Suitable but higher risk; drawdowns can limit capital growth and lead to volatility.
- Recommended Investment ($500-$1,000): Optimal for balancing risk and return, improving resilience to drawdowns, and enhancing the likelihood of achieving sustainable returns.
By recommending a $1,000 investment, we aim to help investors minimize risk exposure, supporting long-term strategy performance.
