Copy trading allows you to automatically copy the trades of experienced or professional traders, meaning you don’t have to analyze the markets or make decisions yourself. You simply select a trader to follow, and whenever they make a trade, it is copied in real time to your account.
Imagine:
You’re a beginner and don’t know how to trade.
There’s an experienced trader, Alex, who makes smart decisions in the market.
You connect your account to Alex's account through a copy trading platform.
Now:
If Alex buys EUR/USD → Your account also buys EUR/USD.
If Alex sells Bitcoin → Your account also sells Bitcoin.
This process happens automatically, with no manual effort needed on your part.
Let’s say:
Alex invests $1,000 and makes a 10% profit in a week → Alex now has $1,100.
You copy Alex with $500 in your account.
Your profit will also be 10%, so you’ll now have $550.
Though both of you made the same percentage profit, your actual earnings depend on how much you invested.
By copying trades, you earn profits (or losses) proportionally based on your investment.
Currently, FNmarkets does not offer a native copy trading service directly on its platform. However, there are ways to implement copy trading through:
MT5 Signal Service:
FNmarkets clients can access MetaTrader 5's (MT5) Signal Service to copy trades from professional traders. You can subscribe to signal providers and replicate their trades automatically in your account.
Third-Party Platforms:
FNmarkets may potentially integrate with third-party copy trading platforms, allowing users to select experienced traders and copy their trades in real time.
MT5 Signal Service:
You can start using MT5’s Signal Service for copy trading by subscribing to a signal provider and copying their trades automatically.
Third-Party Integration:
If FNmarkets decides to offer third-party integration in the future, you could explore using external platforms by linking your FNmarkets account to them.
Copy trading provides an easy way for beginners to participate in the markets by leveraging the expertise of professional traders.
