How Does Copy Trading Work?
Copy trading allows you to replicate the trades of another trader or an automated strategy. While this can be a useful tool, you are fully responsible for ensuring that all copied trades adhere to Atlas Funded’s trading rules.
Important Restrictions & Considerations
Compliance with Risk Rules – Copied trades must remain within the daily and total drawdown limits.
You Are Responsible for the Outcome – If the copied strategy breaches a rule, your account will be considered failed, and you will need to restart the evaluation.
Monitor All Trades Carefully – Copy trading does not remove your responsibility to track performance and adjust risk as needed.
No High-Frequency Trading (HFT) Bots – Copy trading must follow all restrictions on automated trading, meaning HFT bots are not allowed.
Should You Use Copy Trading?
While copy trading can help traders leverage proven strategies, it also comes with risks:
You may not have full control over the copied strategy’s risk profile.
Some copy trading providers may take larger-than-expected positions, increasing the risk of hitting drawdown limits.
A copied trade’s execution speed and slippage can impact performance differently from the original strategy.
Best Practices for Copy Trading in the Evaluation
Use copy trading as a tool, not a replacement for risk management.
Regularly check your account to ensure copied trades do not violate drawdown limits.
Be selective in choosing a provider or strategy that aligns with Atlas Funded’s rules.
If you choose to use copy trading, you must still actively manage your account to ensure compliance. Atlas Funded does not provide exceptions for rule breaches caused by copied trades, so caution and oversight are essential.
