Copy Trading lets you automatically trade exactly what top traders are trading in your own account, in real time.
Beginner and skilled traders can enter the markets fast, copying the moves of providers from around the world.
Providers are high-performing traders that allow others to copy their trading activity and Followers are investors that have Providers’ trades mirrored in their own accounts.
Providers set up a public profile, present their unique strategy and share their performance data. This allows Followers to assess their statistics and risk appetite and decide who they want to copy.
You can be a Provider and a Follower at the same time.
Whether you lack the expertise or time to trade, Copy Trading allows you to accelerate your trading journey by copying the moves of top-performing Providers in your account.
You can pick a Provider to copy, from a selected group of world-class trading masters, based on your own trading criteria.
Review their unique strategies and data and start following them in a few steps.
Share your successful trading strategy with a worldwide community of investors, impress with your performance, grow your following and boost your earning potential.
You set your own performance fee and can earn up to 50% of the profits you generate for your Followers, with your trades.
You can share your winning strategy with others in a few simple steps.
Providers set their own performance fee for allowing Followers to copy their strategies. The fee can be up to 50% of the total net profit produced by their trading activity and they receive their compensation directly in their accounts, in weekly payouts.
A Follower is charged the fee only when the profit generated by the Providers’ strategy goes above the last recorded maximum level of profit or High Water Mark (HWM).
As a Provider, John produces $1,000 in profit for Jenna, one of his Followers, for January. With this profit, Jenna reaches a new High Water Mark (HWM), and John is compensated with a performance fee.
In March, John’s trading activity leads to Jenna losing $400, leaving her account at $600. Since John’s strategy produces no gains for Jenna, he receives no performance fee.
Then, in May, John generates $300 in profits for Jenna. However, he still receives no compensation because $600 + $300 = $900, which is less than the latest $1,000 High Water Mark.
John will receive a performance fee only when he manages to raise profits above $1,000.
Copy trading is a form of online trading that enables individuals wanting to invest in the financial markets to automatically copy the trading activity of strategy providers. To be able to do that, an investor needs to set up a copy trading account with WB Invest and pick a strategy provider to copy.
Copy trading offers investors who lack either the time, knowledge or trading experience the chance to enter the markets by leveraging the trading expertise of others. They can follow and mirror the trading strategies of trading experts, known as Strategy Providers, directly in their copy trading accounts. Investors should keep in mind that copy trading involves risk. They are advised to carefully review the performance data and risk management strategy of the Providers they decide to follow.
A Strategy Provider or Provider is a trader with a high-performing strategy which they share with other traders known as Followers. Sharing the strategy allows Followers to automatically copy all of the Providers’ trades in their own copy trading accounts. Providers share a short presentation of their trading strategies and make special offers for Followers to subscribe to. In these offers, they present the compensation or Performance fee they require in exchange for getting copied.
A Follower is an individual who copies the trading activity of a Provider in their own Follower account. For each Follower account, only one Provider can be followed or in other words, only one “subscription” is allowed. Followers can adjust copying rules and modify risk management settings for their subscriptions. (Note: To copy multiple Providers at the same time, Followers can open more than one copy trading follower accounts)
A Performance Fee is a percentage of a Follower’s profitable trading results paid to the Provider by the Follower as part of their subscription. The performance fee is paid only when the profit of the Follower’s subscription goes higher than the most recent High Water Mark (HWM) – the Follower subscription’s last recorded maximum level or maximum value of profit.
Profit and Performance Fee are calculated on a weekly basis by subtracting the equity of the previous week from the equity of the current week. Equity is your account balance plus or minus the unrealized profit (or loss) of all your open positions.
Each Provider sets their own Performance Fee percentage as part of the offer they require Followers to subscribe to. The Performance Fee formula is always the same and is as follows: Performance fee = Subscription’s Profit x Fee %
For example: Performance Fee = 10%
Week 1 PnL = $400 → $40 Performance fee
Week 2 PnL = -$200 → No Fee ($400 – $200 = $200 < $400 HWM)
Week 3 PnL = $300 → $10 Performance fee ($400 – $200 + $300 = $500; $500 – $400 = $100)
