How Binance’s Copy Trading Works
Binance’s Copy Trading system offers two investment modes. The “fixed amount” mode lets users set a predetermined sum for each trade. The “fixed ratio” mode, on the other hand, allows users to adjust their investments based on the strategies of lead traders and their account balance.
The feature serves as a learning platform for newer traders. It also offers seasoned traders an opportunity to share their expertise. When lead traders make their trades accessible for copy trading, they earn a 10% profit share and an additional 10% trading commission rebate from their followers.
Copy traders, on the other hand, can monitor up to 10 lead traders at once. They can view the lead traders’ portfolio data, such as return on investment (ROI), profit and loss statements (PnL), and other relevant metrics. This feature gives copy traders every information they need to determine the lead trader they would want to follow.
What are the Limitations of the Feature?
The Copy Trading account on Binance is separate from the Binance Futures account. Currently, it only supports over 100 USDⓈ-M Futures contracts. The trading process for lead trading is similar to that of Futures trading. But special functions like trailing stop orders and multi-assets mode are unsupported.
Slippage protection is in place to avoid significant price deviations during real-time copy trading. Its limit is set at 0.3% for BTCUSDT and ETHUSDT pairs and 0.5% for other trading pairs. Nevertheless, Binance reminds users that copy trading does not guarantee profits and has its own set of risks.
