How to Complete Copy Trading

Updated 1 week Ago

FP Markets’ copy trading feature allows you to automatically follow and replicate the trades of experienced traders, without the need to develop your own strategies or analyze the market. It simplifies trading and provides easy access to the Forex and CFD markets.

Procedure

Step 1: Log in to the Client Portal

Please access the Client Portal and log in using one of the following methods:

Your verified mobile number and one-time verification code
Your registered email address and password

Step 2: Access the Copy Trading Interface

From the left-hand menu, select “Social Trading”
Click “Login” on the right panel
Enter the following details:
- Trading account (MT4/MT5)
- Trading password
Select the correct server:
- You can check your server in Client Portal → Home → Accounts
Click “Login” to access the copy trading system

Step 3: Configure Copy Trading Strategy

In the “Copy Settings” section, click “Edit” and choose one of the following strategies:

1. 1:1 Copy Ratio

Locate the “Multiplier” option
Set the Volume Multiplier to 1
Click “Save Changes”

This ensures trades are copied at the same proportion as the provider

2. Auto Scale by Balance/Equity

Enable “Auto Scale”
Choose comparison method:
- Balance, or
- Equity
The system will automatically adjust trade size based on your account size
Click “Save Changes”

Ideal for proportional risk management across different account sizes

3. Fixed Lot Size

In “Copy Settings”, click “Edit”
Select “Fixed Volume”
Set a fixed lot size for each trade
Click “Save Changes”

Each copied trade will use a fixed lot size regardless of the provider’s trade size

Tips

Auto Scale is recommended for balanced risk management
Always review the provider’s performance and risk profile before copying
Copy trading does not guarantee profits; market risks still apply
You can modify or stop your copy settings at any time
