When the first time of a Follower start to follow the Master Trader, they will need to select a Copy Mode and set up their Copy Trade Settings.
Below is a detailed description of each Copy Mode and Copy Trade Setup.
Copy Mode
The copy modes currently supported by VSTAR are Smart Copy, Fixed Ratio Copy, and Fixed Amount Copy.
Copy Mode | Description | Example |
Smart Copy |
By selecting Smart Copy mode, VSTAR will calculate the amount of each copy order for the follower based on the proportion of margin the Master trader used to place the order. Copying users/followers will follow the trader's leverage settings. Recommended for copy trading beginners |
For example, based on Master Trader A's order cost, the margin ratio calculated is 10%. Assuming that Follower B has $1,000 of margin available at the time of order execution, a trade with an estimated order cost of $100 will be copied. Note that the calculated number of orders placed by the Follower is rounded down according to the increment of the product. For example, if the calculated number of orders placed by the XAUUSD copy user is 1.11111 lots, the number of lots placed by the user is 1.11 hands. |
Fixed Ratio Copy | Followers can set a fixed copy ratio themselves. When a trader places an order, the system will place the order according to the fixed ratio. Experienced users can select this mode to customize their order settings. |
For example, if you set a fixed ratio of 10%, then when the trader places an order for 1 lot, the system will place an order for the Follower with a ratio of 10% and the order quantity is 0.1 lot. The calculated lot size is rounded down according to the increment. For example, if the XAUUSD increment is 0.01 and the calculated lot size is 0.025, the order will be rounded down to 0.02 lots according to the increment. |
Fixed Amount Copy | Followers can set a fixed amount for copying trading. When a trader places an order, the system will place an order based on the fixed amount. Advanced users can select this mode to customize their order settings. | For example, if you set the fixed amount to 100 USD, then when the Master trader places an order, regardless of the amount, the system will place an order for the Follower according to the fixed margin amount of 100 USD, and the order quantity is the number of lots calculated based on the fixed amount. . The calculated lot size is rounded down according to the increment. For example, if the XAUUSD increment is 0.01 and the calculated lot size is 0.025, the order will be rounded down to 0.02 lots according to the increment. |
