How to Open a CopyPip Account and Navigate the CopyPip Platform

Written by Fullerton Markets | Oct 26, 2020 4:00:00 PM

CopyPip is Fullerton Markets' copy trading platform where strategy providers and followers can enjoy mutual benefits. The former earn performance fees on top of their trading profit, while the latter earn on autopilot by copying winning trades.

What makes CopyPip unique is its robust support system.

Both strategy providers and followers receive assistance in developing their winning strategies through informative trading videos, free online trading classes, as well as weekly LIVE technical analysis sessions and copy trading tips.

This makes it easier for beginner traders to grasp the basics of Forex and identify the best signal providers to follow, and for signal providers to increase their following, which translates to more income.

There are two roles on CopyPip:

Strategy Providers (SP) are experienced and professional Forex traders who provide trading signals that strategy followers copy.

Strategy Followers (SF) are investors who copy trades from one or more strategy providers.

In this article, we're going to focus on strategy followers and how they can take advantage of CopyPip.

AMU

Shows the average leverage (percentage of margin) used for copying every strategy, helping you to determine potential risk. Its level of value must be kept from 7% to 10%. If it exceeds 15%, then the risk involved is considered high.

INVERSED TRADING MMC

RECOMMENDED MINIMUM 

This refers to the recommended capital a copy trading account must have before following an SP. It's calculated using an SP's current balance and floating profit/loss.
