Copy trading

Copying someone means copying their risk settings. The numbers to ask for before you do.

Two accounts, one set of decisions. What is copied is the risk setting, not the judgement.

What you are buying when you copy somebody

You are not buying their skill. You are buying their risk settings — the size they take, the leverage they hold, how long they sit in a loss — applied to your money at whatever fraction you set.

Which means a strategy that suits an account ten times the size of yours can be the wrong strategy on yours, while being exactly the same trades.

The number to ask for is not the return

Ask for the deepest drawdown and how long the account stayed under water. A curve that doubled and halved twice on the way is a different product from one that ground out the same end figure, and only the second one is survivable at your size.

Then run it on your own balance: what would that drawdown have cost you, at the size you plan to copy at? The profit calculator turns the percentage into money, which is the only form worth judging.

What we have not measured, and will not pretend to

We publish no leaderboard and no provider ranking. We have not audited anybody's track record, and a list of top traders assembled from screenshots is worth less than nothing, because it looks like evidence.

What can be checked is the account the copying happens in — which entity holds it, under which licence, and what a round trip costs there. That is the part of this decision with documents behind it, and it is the part we do publish.

FAQ

Common questions

Whose money is actually at risk when I copy a gold trader?

Yours, entirely. Copy trading links your account to another person's decisions, so their losses become your losses at the size ratio you set, and there is no guarantee their risk limits match your tolerance. Before copying, ask what maximum drawdown they have run and whether their lot sizes scale with account equity.

What should I ask for before copying a gold strategy?

Ask for the full track record including losing periods, the maximum drawdown, the average holding time, and how position size is decided. Gold strategies can look smooth in trending months and suffer badly in reversals, so check behaviour across different market conditions. Also confirm whether the trader's own money is in the same account.

Can I limit how much of my account a copied strategy risks?

Yes, through the copy ratio and your own account settings, but the limits depend on the platform. The practical control is to size the copied allocation so that the strategy's worst historical drawdown is a loss you can absorb. Use the position size and margin calculators to see what the resulting exposure means in AED.

Why does copy trading gold carry more risk than copying forex pairs?

Gold moves in larger absolute swings, and one standard lot is 100 oz, so the same lot size produces bigger profit and loss than on a major currency pair. A copied strategy sized for forex can therefore be far too large for XAU/USD. Check whether the trader adjusts size per instrument before you follow.

Does copy trading suit a beginner in the UAE?

It can reduce the need to place orders manually, but it does not remove the need to understand risk. You still choose the allocation, the copy ratio and when to stop, and you still carry every loss. Treat it as delegating execution, not judgement, and start small while you learn how the strategy behaves.
