What is a follower?

Created by Melany Santillan, Modified on Thu, 10 Jul at 11:34 PM by Melany Santillan

In CopyTrading, a Follower is someone who chooses to copy the trades of a more experienced trader—called a Provider—through an automated system.

Instead of placing trades yourself, you automatically replicate the Provider’s trading activity in your own account. It’s a hands-off way to participate in the markets by relying on someone else’s strategy and expertise.

What does a follower do?

As a Follower, you can:

  • Browse offers from different Providers.

  • Subscribe to a strategy that fits your goals and risk tolerance.

  • Automatically copy trades from your chosen Provider.

  • Monitor performance and make changes any time (suspend, unsubscribe, or switch Providers).

Why become a follower?

  • Learn by watching: Observe how experienced traders make decisions.

  • Save time: No need to research or trade manually.

  • Diversify: Follow multiple strategies to spread your risk.

Things to keep in mind

  • You remain in full control of your funds.

  • You can unsubscribe or suspend copying at any time.

  • You only pay Performance Fees if you make a profit from the copied trades.

  • You can manually close trades if you choose.


CopyTrading is ideal for traders who want market exposure without managing trades on their own. As a Follower, you’re choosing to invest in a Provider’s strategy—while always keeping the final decision in your hands.
