What is Copy Trading & Why is it Not Allowed on Funds.Pro?

Modified on Sat, 16 Aug at 1:43 PM

Copy trading means replicating or mirroring another trader’s strategy, signals, or trades — either through software, API, social trading platforms, or by manually following someone’s trades in real-time.


On Funds.Pro, copy trading is strictly prohibited because:

  • It shows a lack of independent trading skill.

  • It creates identical patterns between multiple traders/accounts.

  • It increases compliance and risk issues with our liquidity providers.


? How Do We Detect Copy Trading?


Our Trade Ethics Team uses advanced monitoring tools to analyze:

  • Entry & Exit Timestamps — identical timing of trades across accounts.

  • Instrument Choice & Lot Sizes — same assets, same volumes, at same times.

  • Stop Loss & Take Profit Placement — matching levels across multiple accounts.

  • Behavioral Patterns — repeating identical trading sequences over days/weeks.


If the system detects high similarity with other traders or accounts, it flags it as a copy trading pattern. Once flagged, the account is disqualified and all payouts are void.


? Important to Note

  • Even if you are manually following someone’s Telegram/WhatsApp/Signal group, this counts as copy trading.

  • Only independent and original trading strategies are allowed.

  • After every withdrawal request, the account is checked for copy trading activity. If a pattern is found, the withdrawal request is rejected and the account terminated.
