Introduction to proportional copy trading

1. Introduction

Proportional copy trading is a new type of copy trading model compared to fixed amount copy trading. You can set a multiplier to follow the trader's trades. Specifically, the value of each order copied is equal to the lead trader's order value multiplied by the copy trader's set multiplier.

If a lead trader opens a position with a value of 10,000 USDT and your preset following ratio is 0.1, you will open a position with a value of 1,000 USDT (10,000 USDT × 0.1).

Proportional copy trading allows you to invest different amounts each time you follow a trader, enabling you to better align your position size with the lead trader’s strategy and seize market opportunities. Overall, your gains and losses from copy trading will be more closely tied to the lead trader’s performance.

3. Smart recommendation multiplier

In the copy trading mode, the value of each order placed by a copy trader is proportional to that of the trader. If the copy trading multiplier is set too high, it may lead to an effective leverage that is excessively high for the customer, increasing the risk of losses and liquidation. Therefore, we recommend that customers refer to the trader's smart recommended multiplier when setting their own, and exercise caution to avoid exceeding the recommended upper limit. The specific recommendation logic is as follows:

Smart recommendation multiplier = correction factor * min{Copy trader’s account USDT equity, maximum copy trading amount} / trader's account USDT equity.

Minimum smart recommendation multiplier: correction factor = 0.5

Maximum intelligent recommendation multiplier: correction factor = 1.

For example, if your maximum follow amount is 30,000 USDT, your trading account balance is 10,000 USDT, and the lead trader's account balance is 20,000 USDT, then the maximum recommended multiplier is calculated as min{30,000{30000,10000} / 20,000 * 1} = 0.5. Similarly, the minimum recommended multiplier is 0.25.Additionally, you can refer to the trader's past average order value to set a reasonable copy trading multiplier.
