Common Questions from Copy Traders
Q: How do I set up copy trading?
A: On the ASTX platform, users can flexibly set copy trading parameters according to their needs, including:
1. Follow contract trading pairs: Choose specific contract trading pairs to follow (e.g., BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, etc.).
2. Copy leverage: Two options available:
• Fixed leverage: Manually set a fixed leverage multiple.
• Follow trader’s leverage: The system automatically synchronizes with the trader’s leverage settings.
3. Copy margin:
• Fixed margin: The opening amount of each copied position is a fixed value preset by the user.
• Fixed ratio: Open positions according to the trader’s order size multiplied by the user-set ratio.
Q: Why didn’t my copy trade execute?
A: The following situations may cause a copy trade to fail. The platform will notify copy traders via internal messages or alerts:
1. Insufficient account balance: The copy account does not have enough funds to meet the opening requirements.
2. Did not select the trader’s open trading pair.
3. Copy margin exceeds the maximum limit or is below the minimum opening amount.
4. Excessive market volatility: Price deviation is too large; system automatically blocks copying to protect funds.
Q: Why is the trader profitable but I’m losing? Why is the ROI different?
A: Differences may occur due to:
1. When the trader adds positions, if the copy trader’s funds are insufficient, the trading pair does not match, or margin settings are incorrect, the add may fail, affecting overall profit.
2. The trader may add different amounts each time. If the copy trader uses fixed margin mode, the average opening price may differ from the trader’s.
Q: How is trader profit sharing calculated and distributed?
A: Profit sharing is automatically deducted and locked when each order is closed:
• Profitable orders increase the trader’s share; losing orders reduce share based on net profit ratio.
• Daily copy net profit = realized profit × profit-sharing ratio; exact amounts can be viewed under “Funds → Copy Profit.”
• Profit sharing is settled at midnight daily; if the trader has no positions, it is paid automatically.
