What is Copy Trading?
Automatically mirror positions from a master account to multiple follower accounts.
Introduction
Copy Trading is one of MEXC Manager's most powerful features. It allows you to automatically replicate trades from one account (the master) to one or more other accounts (the followers).
When the master account opens a position, all follower accounts automatically open the same position. When the master closes, followers close too.
Key Features
Real-Time Sync
Positions are mirrored within milliseconds using WebSocket connections.
Configurable Ratios
Set custom copy ratios (0.5x, 1x, 2x) per group or per follower.
SL/TP Copying
Stop loss and take profit orders are automatically synchronized.
Multiple Followers
Connect unlimited follower accounts to a single master.
Common Use Cases
- Signal Providers - Trade on your main account and have subscribers copy automatically
- Account Scaling - Mirror your personal trades to additional capital
- Fund Management - Manage client accounts without manual trade placement
- Strategy Replication - Run the same strategy across multiple accounts
- Risk Distribution - Spread trades across accounts with different brokers/limits
How It Differs from Batch Trading
| Aspect | Batch Trading (Groups) | Copy Trading |
|---|---|---|
| Trigger | Manual - you place the trade | Automatic - master trades, followers copy |
| Source | MEXC Manager interface | Master account activity (any platform) |
| Position Sizing | Same size on all accounts | Configurable ratios per follower |
| Connection | Direct API calls | WebSocket real-time stream |
Copy trading works even when you trade on the master account from the MEXC app, web interface, or any other platform. The copying happens based on master account activity.
Requirements
To set up copy trading, you need:
- Master account - The account whose trades will be copied
- API credentials - Special WebSocket API keys from MEXC
- Follower accounts - One or more accounts to receive copied trades
- Active subscription - MEXC Manager subscription with copy trading access
