Copy trading
Follow a strategy on terms you control
Review available strategy providers, study their history and choose how much capital to allocate. Eligible trades are then replicated in your account according to the service rules and the controls you set.
Availability. Availability, provider selection and account requirements depend on your jurisdiction and BARS 8 approval.
Clear information at each step
Evaluate, allocate and monitor
Copy trading connects an investor account to a selected provider strategy. Results can differ between the provider and follower because of allocation settings, account equity, pricing, latency, minimum trade sizes and market conditions.
Performance history
Review available return, drawdown, trade frequency and activity data for each strategy. Historical results can change and do not predict future performance.
Risk settings
Set the permitted allocation and any available equity, loss or exposure limits before activation.
Account control
Pause copying, close eligible positions or disconnect a strategy through the portal, subject to open-market conditions and system availability.
Strategy selection
Use available filters to compare trading horizon, instrument mix, risk measures and fee terms.
Live monitoring
Follow copied positions, account equity, margin use, fees and provider activity from the dashboard.
Fee visibility
Review every applicable performance fee, subscription charge or revenue share before confirming an allocation.
Diversification tools
Allocate across eligible strategies where the service permits. Multiple allocations can still share the same market risks and may be highly correlated.
Three stages
Set up copy trading with a defined plan
- 01
Open and read
Open and verify an eligible BARS 8 account. Review the Client Agreement, copy trading terms, fees and Risk Disclosure.
- 02
Compare providers
Compare provider profiles. Consider performance over different periods, maximum drawdown, open exposure, trading style and the provider's own capital commitment where disclosed.
- 03
Allocate and monitor
Choose an allocation and available risk limits, then confirm. Monitor the relationship continuously and adjust it when your circumstances or risk tolerance change.

Please note
Before you follow
Copying transfers trading decisions, not responsibility
You remain responsible for selecting a provider, setting the allocation and monitoring the account. A provider can change style, increase risk or experience losses. Closing or pausing the relationship may not immediately close every open position. Leverage can lead to rapid losses, including loss of the full allocated amount and, where the applicable account terms allow, further liability.
