Can I close trades manually as a follower?

Yes, as a Follower, you can close copied trades manually at any time. This gives you flexibility and control over your account, especially if you want to manage risk or adjust your portfolio.

However, there are important things to know before doing so:

Manual Closures Don't Count Toward Performance Fees

Only trades that are opened and closed by the Provider are included in the calculation of performance fees.
If you close a trade yourself, the Provider will not earn a performance fee from that specific position—even if it ends in profit.

What Does This Mean for You?

• You have full control: You can step in and manage your trades if you feel it’s necessary.
  
  

• But be aware: manually closing trades may interfere with the Provider’s strategy, and result in a different performance than intended.
  
  

✅ Best Practice

For optimal results, it’s recommended to let the Provider manage trades as intended—especially if you're following a strategy you trust. The CopyTrading system is designed to benefit both sides when used as intended.

If you ever feel unsure about a Provider’s performance or approach, consider using the Suspend or Unsubscribe options instead of closing trades manually.
