# Copy Trading: Follow Top Traders in One Click

**Choose a Trader**\
Users can browse recommended traders or search for specific ones and review their historical performance, including ROI, asset size, max drawdown, and profit-sharing ratio, to make informed decisions.\
The platform supports two copy trading directions:

* **Forward Copy**: Fully replicate the trader’s positions and trades
* **Reverse Copy**: Execute trades in the opposite direction, suitable for hedging or contrarian strategies

**Three Copy Modes, Flexible to Your Needs**

* **Proportional Copy**: Mirror trades based on the trader’s position size as a percentage of their total assets (e.g., if they use 20%, you use 20%)
* **Multiplier Copy**: Scale each trade by a set multiple of the original order size (e.g., 2x, 5x)
* **Fixed Amount Copy**: Use a fixed amount per trade (e.g., 100 USDT) for better risk control

**Flexible Exit**\
You can stop copying at any time. The system will settle positions at the next settlement time and automatically return remaining funds, no manual intervention required.

**Settlement & Fund Rules (Unified Mechanism)**\
The following actions are processed under a unified settlement cycle every 8 hours:

* Closing a lead trading project
* Exiting a copy trading relationship
* Profit-sharing (commission) distribution

**Settlement Times**: 08:00, 16:00, 24:00 (UTC+8)\
**Fund Processing**: Principal, profits, or refunds will be automatically credited to your account at the next settlement time.

**Example**:\
If you stop copying at 10:30, your funds will be settled and credited at 16:00.
