Copy Trading Pro automatically copies a Provider’s trades according to your copying settings. With manual trading, you make your own trading decisions and submit orders yourself.
Trading comparison
The table below explains the differences in decisions, execution, fees and monitoring.
| Aspect | Copy Trading Pro | Manual trading |
|---|---|---|
| Trading decisions | You select a Provider whose strategy you want to copy | You decide which trades to place |
| Execution | Trades are copied according to your copying settings | You submit orders yourself |
| Provider fees | Fees may apply under the Provider’s applicable terms | No copy-trading Provider fee applies to independently placed trades |
| Monitoring | You monitor your account, copied positions and copying settings | You monitor your account and orders |
Other applicable trading costs, such as spreads, commissions or overnight charges, may apply to either approach.
Can I also place manual trades while using Copy Trading Pro?
Copy Trading Pro may allow you to place independent manual trades while copying a Provider. Check the conditions applicable to your account and copying arrangement before doing so.
Does Copy Trading Pro remove trading risk?
No. Both approaches involve trading risk. Copied trades can lose money, and following a Provider does not guarantee profits. You still need to monitor your account when using Copy Trading Pro.
