1. Understanding Proportional Copy Trading
Proportional copy trading represents an innovative alternative to fixed-margin copy trading. This model allows users to set customized multipliers when replicating a trader's positions. Here's how it works:
- Core Mechanism: Each copied trade's value = Trader's position value × User-defined multiplier
- Example: If a trader opens a $10,000 USDT position and you set a 0.1 multiplier, your copied position would be $1,000 USDT.

3. Smart Multiplier Recommendations
Our algorithm calculates ideal multipliers based on:
- Your account equity
- Trader's account equity
- Market conditions
Calculation Formula:
Recommended Multiplier = Adjustment Factor × min(User Equity, Max Amount)/Trader EquityAdjustment Ranges:
- Minimum recommendation: Adjustment Factor = 0.5
- Maximum recommendation: Adjustment Factor = 1
Practical Example:
- Your equity: $10,000 USDT
- Trader equity: $20,000 USDT
- Max recommended: 0.5 (10,000/20,000 × 1)
- Min recommended: 0.25
Pro Tip: Always cross-reference recommendations with the trader's historical average position values.
FAQ Section
Q: How does proportional trading differ from fixed-amount copying?
A: Proportional trading adjusts position sizes dynamically based on the trader's activity, while fixed-amount uses consistent position sizes regardless of the trader's position size.
Q: What happens if I exceed the recommended multiplier?
A: Higher multipliers increase your effective leverage, potentially leading to greater losses or liquidation risks. We strongly advise staying within recommended ranges.
Q: Can I change my multiplier after establishing a copy relationship?
A: Yes, you can adjust your settings at any time, with changes applying to subsequent trades.
Q: How is the maximum follow amount enforced?
A: Once your allocated margin reaches this limit, new trades won't trigger until existing positions reduce your utilized margin below the threshold.
Q: What factors influence the adjustment factor?
A: Market volatility, trader performance history, and your risk profile all contribute to the dynamic calculation.
Q: Why can't I set TP/SL beyond the specified limits?
A: These safeguards prevent excessive risk exposure and align with platform risk management policies.
