What is social trading?

How copying works, what a master trader is, and what you control.

CopyingMastersYour control
Read →

Social trading means choosing a trader whose results you can see and letting the platform copy their trades into your own copy wallet, in proportion to the amount you allocated. The trader never touches your money; the platform mirrors the trade.

  • You choose who to copy, how much, and when to stop.
  • Every copied trade that closes in profit shares the profit: you keep 50%.
  • Losing trades reduce your copy balance; there is no fee on them.
  • Your money stays in your own wallets on IDTraders at all times.
Key takeaway: Copying is a decision you make and can change; it is not a promise of profit.

Reading a track record

Return, drawdown, win rate and risk grade — what each one tells you and what it hides.

ROIDrawdownWin rate
Read →

Every master profile shows the same numbers, computed by the platform from real closed trades. Learn to read them together, never one alone.

  • Total return (ROI): profit as a percentage of the amount followed. High is good only if drawdown is low.
  • Max drawdown: the worst peak-to-trough fall. A 40% drawdown means followers once sat on a 40% loss.
  • Win rate: the share of winning trades. 90% with one huge loss can still lose money.
  • Followers and time: many followers over many months means the numbers have been tested.
Key takeaway: A steady 3% a month with 8% drawdown beats 30% a month with 60% drawdown.

Your first copy

Choosing an amount, setting an auto-stop, and what you will see in your wallet.

AmountAuto-stopCopy Wallet
Read →

Start small. Transfer an amount you can afford to lose from your Main Wallet to your Copy Wallet, follow one trader, and watch for two weeks before adding more.

  • Investment: at least the trader's Minimum Balance; more than that is your choice.
  • Auto Stop Drawdown %: the platform stops the copy if losses reach this level — set it.
  • Social Copies shows each copy: invested, current equity, profit and status.
  • Profit is credited at the trader's settlement: daily, weekly or monthly.
Key takeaway: The auto-stop is your safety belt. Put it on before the first trade.

Drawdown and position size

Why a 20% drawdown needs a 25% gain to recover, and how auto-stop protects you.

Recovery mathsSizingAuto-stop
Read →

Losses and gains are not symmetrical. After a 20% fall you need +25% to get back; after 50% you need +100%. That is why limiting drawdown matters more than chasing return.

  • Copy Mode "Proportional by Allocation" sizes every trade to your amount automatically.
  • Risk Multiplier above 1x makes both wins and losses bigger. 0.5x halves them.
  • Max Loss Limit and Daily Loss Limit close the copy when a number is hit — no emotion involved.
  • Never allocate everything to one trader on one day.
Key takeaway: Decide the maximum you are willing to lose before you follow, and set it in the form.

Following more than one master

Spreading copy amounts across styles and markets.

DiversifyStylesMarkets
Read →

Two traders with different styles rarely lose at the same time. Splitting your copy amount across a scalper, a swing trader and a gold specialist smooths your equity curve.

  • Each copy has its own Copy Wallet allocation and its own auto-stop.
  • Check the Trading Style and instruments on each profile; avoid three traders who all trade gold the same way.
  • You can change a trader once every 24 hours from Social Copies while they have no open trades.
  • Review monthly: keep what works, stop what does not.
Key takeaway: Three good traders at $300 each is safer than one at $900.

Commitment packages

When a longer term is worth the larger share, and when it is not.

ElitePrimeSupreme
Read →

A commitment package keeps your amount with one trader for a fixed term in exchange for a larger profit share for the whole term.

  • Worth it when the trader has a long, steady record and you will not need the money during the term.
  • Not worth it for a trader you have followed for two weeks, or with money you might need.
  • Stopping early costs the package bonus; the Package Terms are shown before you confirm.
  • You can move the commitment to another trader from your dashboard — the term continues.
Key takeaway: Commit to a track record, not to a promise.

Becoming a master

Building a public track record others will follow.

Track recordProfileSettlement
Read →

Masters earn a share of every follower's profit at settlement. Followers look for consistency first, return second.

  • Eligibility: 6 months on IDTraders and 5 years of trading experience; applications open soon.
  • Your profile shows total return, drawdown, win rate, follower count and risk grade — all computed, none typed.
  • Choose a settlement cadence you can live with; followers see it.
  • Keep the style you describe. Sudden changes lose followers and can lose the master status.
Key takeaway: Low drawdown attracts more followers than high return.

Reading the economic calendar

High-impact events, spread behaviour and what to expect around releases.

High impactGMTSessions
Read →

Scheduled releases move prices in seconds. Knowing when they land explains most of the sharp moves you will see in a copied trade.

  • Red (high-impact) events: rate decisions, non-farm payrolls, CPI. Expect fast moves and wider spreads.
  • Times on our calendar are GMT, the platform's clock.
  • The London–New York overlap is the busiest window of the day.
  • A master's open trades are exposed to these moves; that is part of their risk grade.
Key takeaway: Check the week's red events on Monday. Surprises are cheaper when they are expected.

Building a network

The IB programs and how ranks are earned from commitment volume.

IBLevelsRanks
Read →

Introducing brokers earn from the activity of the people they bring in, across 15 levels, and qualify for ranks on commitment volume counted on both legs of the network.

  • Apply for IB Partnership from your dashboard and choose a program; it decides how the pool is split between levels.
  • Your referral link and code are on the IB page once approved.
  • Ranks bring one-time bonuses, monthly salaries and rewards; they need volume on each leg separately.
  • Earnings arrive in your IB wallet at every settlement of every trader beneath you.
Key takeaway: Bring in people who will actually copy; volume, not sign-ups, is what pays and what ranks.
