Copy Trading Risk Management Guide
Copy trading should start with limits, not trader hype. The most important settings are per-trade amount, daily stop, max open trades, and the trader risk score you are willing to accept.
Start with exposure, not win rate
A high win rate does not remove downside risk. Review total trades, net profit/loss, risk score, and follower count together before connecting a trader.
Use daily stops and max open trade limits
Daily stops prevent a bad sequence from growing into a larger behavioral problem. Max open trade limits prevent one trader from concentrating too much exposure at once.
Pause when behavior changes
If a copied trader changes market type, risk score, frequency, or drawdown behavior, pause the setup and review the profile before resuming.
