1. What is copy trading

Copy trading is a feature that allows copiers to copy the trades of multiple elite traders by automatically aligning with traders' trading activities and thus generating profits or losses. Copy trading saves users from the trouble of opening and closing positions and monitoring the market for themselves as all trades of the trader that they copy will be automatically copied.

2. Types of copy trading

2.1 Futures Copy Trading

  • Copy by Position Ratio (Perpetual Futures)

BingX Perpetual Futures Copy Trading allows users to copy traders by position ratio. "Copy by position ratio" means that whenever a copier copies a trader, the ratio of the order margin to the copier's copy trading funds is the same as the position ratio of the trader. The margin for each copied order is calculated based on the ratio of the trader's margin to their net asset value. In this way, the position ratio of copiers and the trader is consistent, i.e. the risk of their positions is closely aligned. This mechanism keeps the risks of positions under "copy by position ratio" mode at a relatively lower level.

For example, suppose the trader's Copy Trading account has net assets of 1,000 USDT and uses 30% of the funds, i.e., 300 USDT, with leverage of 5X to open long BTC/USDT. The copiers will also use 30% of their funds (suppose 100 USDT), that is, 30 USDT 5X to buy long BTC/USDT.

  • Copy by Per Order (Perpetual Futures)

Copy by "Per Order" is a trading mode where the copier copies the trader and places orders one by one. This copy trading mode has fixed margin per order. "Fixed" means that whenever a copier copies a trader, the amount of margin that is being used each time the copier opens a position will be a fixed amount set by the copier. This mode delivers higher capital efficiency and enables more flexible order management for copiers, giving experienced copiers greater control.

E.g., if the copier sets 10 USDT as the margin for a single copied trade and the trader opens long BTC/USDT, the system will open the same position with a 10 USDT margin for the copier, regardless of the trader’s margin or position ratio. The trade will then appear on "Positions" and "Ongoing" pages. Using 10 USDT as the margin, copy orders will be placed based on the margin mode and corresponding leverage for the trading pair set by the copier in their autonomous trading within Perpetual Futures.

  • Copy by Fixed Margin (Standard Futures)

"Copy by fixed margin" mode means that whenever a copier copies a trader, the amount of margin that is being used each time the copier opens a position will be a fixed amount set by the copier. Therefore, the margin is fixed, so it is easier to understand and control the risks. Also, this type of copy by fixed margin allows copiers to perform autonomous trading to some extent.

E.g., If the copier sets 10 USDT as the margin for a single copied trade and the trader opens long BTC/USDT, the system will open long BTC/USDT for the copier with a 10 USDT margin regardless of the margin/position ratio of the trader. And the trade will be displayed in the Position of the copier’s USDT-M Standard Futures account.

2.2 Spot Copy Trading

BingX's Spot Copy Trading is a spot trading tool that allows copiers to mimic the spot orders of experienced traders. When a trader places a valid copied order, copiers will automatically execute buy/sell actions based on their set amount.
