What is copy trading?
Copy trading lets you automatically replicate the trades of verified, high-performing traders in real time. When they buy, you buy. When they sell, you sell — instantly and proportionally, based on your chosen investment amount.
A verified expert trader with a proven track record analyses the market and executes a trade on their own account — using their strategy, analysis, and years of experience.
Deriv's copy engine captures the trade signal and broadcasts it to all subscribers of that expert trader simultaneously — in under 200 milliseconds.
Your account automatically places the same trade, proportional to your copy allocation. The trade size, direction, and timing are identical — no action needed from you.

Risk control
Copy trading doesn't mean giving up control. Every risk parameter is in your hands — set your limits and we'll enforce them automatically.
Set a maximum drawdown percentage. If the copied trader causes your copy balance to fall by that amount, copying stops automatically — protecting your capital.
Cap the maximum amount you copy on any single trade. Even if the trader places a large position, your copy will never exceed your defined maximum per trade.
If a trader risks 1% of their $50,000 account on a trade, you risk 1% of your $500 copy allocation. The ratio is always maintained — never over-exposed.
Heading on holiday? Want to review your strategy? Pause copying with one click. Your existing open positions remain — no new trades will be copied until you resume.
When you start copying a trader who already has open positions, choose whether to copy those existing trades immediately or only copy new trades going forward.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Copy up to 10 traders simultaneously — each with their own allocation and risk settings. Balance different styles to reduce volatility.
