cTrader Copy
cTrader Copy is a solution for commitment-free trading which allows investors to choose a trading strategy of successful traders and copy it automatically in real time. In turn, strategy providers earn commissions in addition to the profit from their trading.
An investment platform
cTrader Copy is an overhaul of the mirror trading platform, formerly known as cMirror, which functions as a flexible investment platform and a fully integrated feature of cTrader.
Any trader can allow copying their successful trading strategies to users for performance, management and volume fees. Investors can, in turn, discover strategies and copy them automatically. Additionally, they can use their own risk management settings.
cTrader Copy is a core component of the cTrader trading platform. It is provided to all brokers at no extra charge.

Primary features
Advanced analytics
Charts visually display time-weighted ROI, balance vs equity, breakdown of traded symbols and history of investors. Charts can be adjusted to specific time periods. Strategy profiles include detailed tables of statistics to provide information and rich insights on performance and behaviour.
Strategy profiles
Strategy providers can create detailed profiles to help them promote themselves. Descriptions can be added to provide supporting information about the strategy. Each strategy has its own URL, making it easy to share with prospective investors outside of the cTrader platform.
Equity-to-equity copying
Investors copy open positions when they start copying a strategy. The volume that will be copied is based on the equity-to-equity ratio according to the amount allocated to the strategy. An investor can set an equity stop loss to stop copying altogether when equity falls below a certain level.
Favourites
Investors can bookmark strategies they are interested in to watch, monitor and come back to them later. At the same time, all strategies that are being copied are listed for easy reference and ability to modify settings at any point.
Fee structures
Volume-based commissions
Strategy providers can charge commissions based on the volume that their investors have traded while copying their strategy. Volume fees are added to each position and charged once for opening and once for closing positions.
Performance and management
A popular method used by money managers which allows them to take a percentage of their clients’ ROI using a high-water mark and a fee, according to the amount of money their investors have allocated.
