How Does a Follower Copy the Master Trader's Position?

A Follower's copied position is determined based on the proportion of equity between the Follower and the Master Trader (MT) at the time of the trade. Below is an example illustrating how the Follower's position is calculated:

 

• Master Trader's Balance: 1,000 USDT

• Trade: Opens 1 lot of EURUSD with a leverage of 500

• Opening Price: 1.02744

• Follower's Balance: 100 USDT

 

After the trade is opened, the commission incurred is 6 USDT. Master Trader’s Equity is calculated as Balance + Unrealized P&L (UPL) = 1,000 − 6 + 0 = 994 USDT.

MT Equity ÷ MT Volume = Follower Equity ÷ Follower Volume

994 ÷ 1 lot = 100 ÷ Follower Volume

Follower Volume = 100 ÷ (994 ÷ 1) ≈ 0.1 lot

 

In conclusion, the Follower will open a 0.1 lot position, ensuring their trade size is proportional to the Master Trader's equity and trade size.

 

 

 

How does Profit Sharing in TradFi Copy Trading work?

The profit sharing in TradFi Copy Trading is calculated based on High Water Mark (HWM) principle. Profit-sharing occurs only when cumulative net profits exceed the previously recorded highest profits. Losses must be fully recovered before a Master Trader qualifies for profit sharing again. A new HWM is established when profits surpass the previous level.
