5. How to conduct copy trading?

You may visit AscendEX via the homepage – copy trading to perform copy trades. After selecting the desired trader, you can start copy trading in the corresponding trader information bar. Before initiating copy trading, you must first complete settings like selecting copy trading futures asset, adjusting the amount of copy trading, and so on. 

For more detailed steps regarding this process, please refer to How to Conduct Copy Trading.

6. After choosing a trader, do I open a copied position whenever the trader opens a position?

Not necessarily. If you have followed a trader for copy trading and the trader has opened a position, you can start copying trades only when the order meets the requirements you set for copy trading.

7. After following a trader, can I conduct copy trading with specified futures assets?

Yes, you can. After following a trader, you can choose specific futures assets for copy trading. For example, you may designate BTCUSDT for copy trading. In this case, the system will only initiate copy trading when the trader you follow opens a BTCUSDT position. When the trader places an order for other futures assets, the system will not proceed with copying orders. 

8. After following a trader, what conditions can I set for opening coped positions?

After following a trader, you can select futures assets when opening copied positions, set copy trading funds, including the margin of a single copied order and the maximum amount of copy trading, then adjust settings for the TP/SL. 

If you modify the position settings after the copy trading has begun, the modifications will work on new copy trading positions, without affecting current copied positions. 

For more information regarding trade settings, you may refer to Copy Trading Settings Explained.

9. What is the margin limit of a single copied order?

The margin limit of a single copied order ranges from 20 to 5,000 USDT.

10. What is the maximum amount for copy trading?

The amount of copy trading ranges from 20 to 10,000 USDT.

11. I have the same copy trading settings as the trader, how come my order size is not the same as my trader’s?

That is probably because your margin amount and leverage are not the same as those used by the trader. When the price of ETHUSDT is 2,000 USDT, the trader opens a position with the size of 1 ETH and 10X leverage, which means a margin of 200 USDT was used to open the position. In this case, you have set the margin of a single copied order to 20 USDT and the leverage of 50X for copy trading, therefore, your position size is: 20 USDT * 50 / 2,000 USDT = 0.5 ETH. Thus, the actual position size depends on your settings including the margin of a single order, the leverage, and the current price of the futures asset. 

12. After choosing a trader, can I terminate the copy trading relationship with the trader?

Yes, you can. After choosing a trader, you can terminate the copy trading relationship with the trader at any time. For the specific steps, please refer to How to Terminate the Copy Trading Relationship with a Trader. 

13.  I suffered a loss after copying the trader’s orders. Do I still need to pay the trader?

No, that is not necessary. The profit-sharing for copy trading with a trader is only applicable to the profitable portion of the trades.

14. What are the restrictions on specific copy trading?

To ensure efficient copy trading and enhance the overall trading experience for users, there are certain limitations put in place when it comes to opening and closing positions while copying a trader. These limitations include futures assets, margin requirements, maximum copy trading amount, and more.
