We've supercharged copy trading! The new Copy Trading 2.0 comes with 8 major highlights. This update tackles key pain points from the old version, optimizing copy logic and data transparency for a more professional trading experience. Let’s take a quick look.
Ⅰ. Old vs. New Version: Key Comparisons
Highlights | Old Version | New Version |
🔥 Dedicated sub-account for copy trading |
Copy by position ratio: Used a virtual copy trading account to isolate funds; Only supported Cross Margin Mode. Used Perpetual Futures Account (shared funds with autonomous trading); could not copy trader's margin mode and leverage. |
Uses a dedicated sub-account for copy trading!Funds go to a dedicated sub-account, keeping them separate from your main account to isolate risk. 2. Fully replicates trader’s margin mode and leverage. |
🔥 Higher data transparency | Did not allow users to view the estimated liquidation price or risk for copied positions. Additionally, users could not track transactions or profit-sharing data from copy trading. The asset overview was unclear, making it difficult to accurately calculate copy trading PnL. | Your sub-account now directly connects to perpetual futures, with fully upgraded data metrics - giving you crystal-clear visibility into all copy trading activity. |
🔥 Simpler copy logic | Copy by per order trades used the separate margin mode. When partially closing, the system used First-In-First-Out (FIFO) – meaning your oldest positions close first. This made tracking your copy trading PnL complicated. | Separate margin mode for copy-by-per-order trades is no longer used. Each position will now be closed proportionally and matched directly with its corresponding open order. |
Improved response to fund changes | Auto-position alignment triggered by adding/reducing funds may lead to unintended trades. | Trades are now only triggered when trading signals are present. |
Enhanced profit share mechanism | Per-order calculation | Position-based settlement Profits are shared only after full closure when position is net profitable. This ensures copiers' interests. |
Sub-Accounts with individual position limits |
Copy by position ratio: Had copier trading group position limits. High-demand traders might reach the limit. Position limits were shared with autonomous trades. |
Exclusive position limits for sub-accounts! Copy the trader seamlessly alongside thousands of others. |
Smarter subsidy settlement | Had many restrictions, with automatic settlement triggered in various scenarios. | When copy trading ends or vouchers expire, negative net PnL will be automatically subsidized. |
Calculation rules | Difficult to understand | Fully transparent copy trading rules! Copy trading made simple, even for beginners. |
Ⅱ. Three Major Core Feature Upgrades: More Transparent Copy Trading
1) Dedicated Sub-Account Order Placement Simplifies Operations
Using copy trading sub-accounts, transfer copy trading funds into dedicated sub-accounts to calculate each copier's order amount separately, with orders executed through the sub-account in the perpetual futures system. Simultaneously, we've eliminated the "copy trading group" concept, removing the need for order/position aggregation and splitting.
Comparison | Old Version | New Version | Advantage |
Fund Account |
Copy by position ratio: Virtual Account Copy by per order: Shared funds with the main account |
Dedicated sub-account funds, isolated from the main account. |
Prevent fund overlap: Copy trading funds are independently managed for better risk separation. |
Leverage & Margin Mode | Could not copy the trader's leverage automatically. | Automatically copy the trader's leverage and margin mode (cross margin/isolated margin) | Strategies are replicated more accurately, making it easier for users to copy. |
Improved response to fund changes | Auto-position alignment triggered by adding/reducing funds may lead to unintended trades. | Trades are now only triggered when trading signals are present. Changes in funds will not affect current positions. | More flexible position management |
2) Optimized Copy Logic: Eliminating the Concept of Separate Position
Previously complex issues like position relationships, closing order matching, and PnL calculations have all been improved.We've upgraded the copy trading calculation logic with fully transparent rules. Separate margin mode for copy-by-order trades is no longer used, and multiple open orders are automatically merged into a single position. Closing follows proportional allocation, giving you more flexibility and intuitive control.
New Version's Advantages
- Separate Margin Mode No Longer Used: The new system eliminates the use of virtual separate positions for Copy by Per Order. All copied trades now align with the perpetual futures position.
- Direct Order Matching: Each open order is directly paired with its corresponding close order. This eliminates the issue of cross-order closures.
- Clear Order Records: With consistent data logic, it is easier to trace each trade and maintain accurate transaction records.
Simplified PnL Calculations: PnL is now calculated directly from the price difference between the open and close prices, improving accuracy.
- Greater Transparency: Users can clearly view the source of each order and the resulting PnL.
- Improved Efficiency: Simplified order matching makes the rules easier to understand and minimizes the risk of errors.
- Enhanced User Experience: The upgraded logic makes the system more user-friendly, reducing confusion from complicated rules.
3) Unified Data Source Ensures Transparent, Accurate Information
All trading data (for both traders and copiers) now pulls directly from perpetual futures account underlying data, including account assets, current positions, position history, and balance records.
New Version's Advantages
- New on Copy Trading Details Page: Account Assets (now supports copy by per order); Unsettled Share / Shared Profit; End Reason (TP/SL/Manual). View Copy Assets and PnL at a glance.
- The position interface now displays "Estimated Liquidation Price" and "Risk" for real-time risk monitoring, along with complete records including Trade History, Position History, and Transaction History.
- More Consistent Data and Transparent Trading: Both parties share the same data source, enhancing transparency and making verification easier. This provides a reliable foundation for your risk control and PnL analysis.
Ⅲ. Upgrade Details
1) "Signal-Only" Position Control
- Whether traders adjust their shared order size or copiers add/reduce investments, positions will not be auto-aligned. The only thing that triggers copy actions is the trader’s actual open/close signals.
2) Smarter Subsidy Settlements
- When you stop copy trading or when your subsidy voucher expires and your copied trade shows a loss, the system pays out subsidy!
* Your copy trading funds must be greater than the subsidy value.
3) All Copy Trading Formulas Revealed
New Copy by Position Ratio
- Opening Position: Trader's Opening Ratio = (Trader's Required Margin) / (Trader's Available Margin Before Opening); Copier's Required Margin = (Copier's Available Margin) × Opening Ratio
- Closing Position: Closing Ratio = (Trader's Closing Position Size) / (Trader's Pre-Closing Position Size); copiers close the same propotion of their position.
New Copy by Per Order
- Opening Position: Order Amount = (Copier's Margin per Trade) / [Order Price × (1/Leverage + Taker Fee Rate)]
- Closing Position: Follows the same logic as the new Copy by Position Ratio feature. Copier's close order size is calculated based on the trader's close position ratio.
4) Profit Share: "Winning Positions Only"
- Profits shared only after a full position closes and shows net profit.
- Settled automatically every Monday. Profit Share History:
Formulas: Profit Share = max[ sum(Net PnL of all positions in the current period) × Profit Share Ratio , 0 ]
Position Net PnL = sum(Realized PnL) - sum(trading fee)
5) More Precise Trial Fund Usage
- Trial funds cover losses and funding fees at closing and match perpetual futures rules.
- When you have multiple trial funds, the system smartly uses the longest available expiration period. The offset ratio always align with your main Perpetual Futures Account’s ratios.
