Map the copy relationship
Treat the provider record as historical information, not a forecast. Review drawdown, strategy age, open exposure and the fee arrangement together.
| Role | Controls | Main responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Strategy provider | Own trades and strategy settings | Trading decisions and stated approach |
| Investor | Allocation, selection and stop decisions | Own capital and suitability |
| Platform | Copying infrastructure and account records | Technical transmission and reporting |
A controlled copy workflow
Begin with an amount you can afford to lose and record the conditions that would make you stop copying.
Fund the Copy Trading wallet
Keep the allocation separate from day-to-day cash needs.
Compare providers
Look beyond headline return to drawdown, age and open positions.
Set boundaries
Choose an allocation and decide when you will review or stop.
Monitor independently
Check copied positions and account equity instead of assuming automation is supervision.
| Metric | What to inspect | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum drawdown | Largest historical decline | Shows past downside, not a future limit |
| Track-record length | Days and market conditions | Short samples can mislead |
| Open positions | Current floating exposure | Closed profit alone is incomplete |
| Fee model | Performance or other charges | Changes net return |
Questions, answered
Does Copy Trading guarantee the providerʼs result?
No. Price, timing, slippage, fees and allocation can cause different results.
Can copied trades lose money?
Yes. Following another strategy does not remove market or leverage risk.
Where are copy funds held?
Weltrade support describes a dedicated Copy Trading wallet.
Can funds be withdrawn from the copy wallet?
Weltrade provides a withdrawal process subject to available free funds and payment methods.
Should I choose the highest-return provider?
Return alone is insufficient. Review drawdown, history, exposure and fees.
