MEXC Manager

Creating a Copy Trading Group

Set up automated position mirroring with a step-by-step wizard.

Prerequisites

Before creating a copy trading group, ensure you have:

  • At least 2 MEXC accounts added to MEXC Manager
  • WebSocket API credentials for the master account
  • Sufficient balance on follower accounts
Getting WebSocket API Credentials

You need special API credentials that support WebSocket subscriptions. In MEXC:

  1. 1. Go to API Management
  2. 2. Create a new API key
  3. 3. Enable "Futures Trading" permission
  4. 4. Copy both the API Key and API Secret

The 5-Step Creation Wizard

MEXC Manager guides you through creating a copy trading group with a 5-step wizard:

  1. 1
    Basic Information

    Enter a name for your copy trading group.

    • Choose a descriptive name (e.g., "Main Scalping", "Client Accounts")
    • This name will appear in your groups list
  2. 2
    Master Account Selection

    Select which account will be the master (source of trades).

    • Choose from your connected MEXC accounts
    • This account's trades will be copied to followers
    • The master account cannot be a follower in the same group
  3. 3
    API Credentials

    Enter the WebSocket API credentials for the master account.

    • API Key - Your MEXC WebSocket API key
    • API Secret - Your MEXC WebSocket API secret
    • These are encrypted and stored securely
    • Required for WebSocket authentication
  4. 4
    Follower Selection

    Select which accounts will copy trades from the master.

    • Check all accounts you want as followers
    • The master account is excluded from the list
    • You can add/remove followers later
  5. 5
    Copy Settings

    Configure how trades are copied.

    • Copy Ratio - Multiplier for position sizes (0.1x to 5x)
    • Max Position Size - Optional limit per trade (in USDT)
    • Copy SL/TP - Whether to copy stop loss and take profit orders
    • Copy Partial Closes - Whether to copy partial position closes

Settings Explained

Copy Ratio

The copy ratio determines follower position size relative to the master:

  • 1.0x - Followers open the exact same size as master
  • 0.5x - Followers open half the master's size
  • 2.0x - Followers open double the master's size

See Copy Ratios for more details.

Max Position Size

An optional limit on the maximum position size (in USDT or contracts):

  • If set, positions are capped at this value
  • Protects against unexpectedly large trades
  • Leave empty for no limit

Copy SL/TP

When enabled, stop loss and take profit orders are synchronized:

  • Follower SL/TP prices match the master's levels
  • Changes to master SL/TP are propagated to followers
  • Provides automatic risk management

Copy Partial Closes

Controls behavior when the master closes only part of a position:

  • Enabled - Followers close proportionally
  • Disabled - Followers wait for full close
Start Conservative

Start with a 1.0x ratio and test with small positions before scaling up. You can always adjust settings later.

After Creation

After creating the group:

  1. 1. The group appears in your Copy Trading list with status "Inactive"
  2. 2. Click Start Copy Trading to enable it
  3. 3. Wait for the connection to establish (status changes to "Connected")
  4. 4. Trades on the master account will now be copied
