    A Complete FAQ on VT Markets VTrade Copy Trading

    March 25, 2024

    What is Copy Trading?

    VTrade Copy Trading, provided by VT Markets, allows investors to either share their strategies as providers or follow others’ trades. When providers execute trades, these are automatically replicated in the followers’ accounts according to set conditions.


    Understanding Offers

    An “Offer” represents specific terms set by the provider, detailing conditions like profit sharing and subscription terms. Agreeing to these when subscribing means you’re on board with the provider’s set terms. Note:

    • Offers can’t change once they have followers.
    • Providers may set multiple offers.
    • Followers can’t subscribe to multiple offers from the same provider but can follow offers from different providers.

    The Role of Join Links

    Join Links facilitate the sharing of offers by providers to potential investors, allowing for customization of validity periods and profit-sharing arrangements.


    How does VT Markets select the top 10 Providers for the VTrade webpage?

    To be highlighted among the top 10 Providers, certain conditions must be met:

    1. The Provider’s profile visibility is public.

    2. The overall profit exceeds 0.

    3. Monthly returns are positive, above 0%.


    What are the visibility and performance criteria for Providers on the Rating page? To be displayed on the Rating page, Providers must meet the following requirements:

    1. Their profile visibility is set to public.

    2. They have achieved a total profit greater than 0.

    3. They have actively traded within the last month, ensuring a monthly return not equal to 0.


    How is the ranking determined on the Rating page, and does changing privacy settings impact it

    Providers are primarily ranked according to their total profit. Altering privacy settings from Private to Public does not influence previous rankings. However, ratings will take up to 5 minutes to update upon reverting to Public status.

    Explanation and Calculation of Key Metrics on the Rating Page:

    • Trading Days: Counts from the first day the Provider engages in copy trading.
    • Total Profit: Represents net profit or loss since engaging in copy trading, excluding commissions, swaps, and taxes.
    • Max Drawdown: Identifies the largest potential loss from peak to trough in a Provider’s strategy, calculated by the rate of return between the highest and lowest points within an hour.
    • Equity: Displays the Provider’s current account equity.
    • Return (1M): Indicates the Provider’s return rate for the past month.
    • Profit Rate (Total): Calculated as Total Profit / Total Deposit x 100%.
    • Investors: The total number of Followers subscribing to the Provider.
    • Investors’ Equity: The combined equity of all Followers subscribed to the Provider.

    Starting and Unsubscribing

    Followers access a provider’s join link, subscribe, and then activate or suspend their subscription through the community login background. Activation is required for copying trades, while suspension closes open positions when the provider does.


    Independent Trading and Subscriptions

    Subscribing followers can independently trade without affecting their copy trading subscription. This includes making adjustments to copied orders.


    Impact of Different Leverages

    Differences in leverage between provider and follower adjust the risk and outcome of copied trades. Strategies adapt to ensure equitable risk distribution, but followers should be mindful of potential increased risks.


    Subscription Inactivity and Reactivation

    New subscriptions may start as inactive; activation is straightforward via the community platform. Subscriptions can become inactive due to manual pausing or triggered risk management settings.


    Causes of Order Following Failures

    Failures in following orders can occur due to several factors, such as insufficient lot sizes or non-activation by followers, among others.


    Lot Size in Copying

    The platform rounds the copying volume to the nearest feasible lot size, with a minimum opening size of 0.01 lots. Orders below this threshold cannot be opened.


    Following Multiple Offers

    A follower cannot subscribe to multiple offers from the same provider simultaneously but can follow different providers’ offers. This ensures diversified trading strategies without duplicating orders.


    Trade Group Types Explained

    Trade group types like “Hedged” allow holding opposing orders simultaneously, indicating a strategy of hedging. VT Markets supports Hedge Mode for this purpose.


    Why Diverse Results Among Followers?

    Differences in transaction results among followers with the same funds under one provider could arise from varied volume scaling, ratio multipliers, or selected strategies within the provider’s offers.
