In this guide, we’ll explore VT Markets Copy Trading, including its key features and steps to get started.
What is VT Markets Copy Trading?
VT Markets Copy Trading allows you to follow a strategy provider and automatically replicate their trades in your own account using the funds you allocate. It offers a simple way to take part in financial markets without having to make every trading decision yourself.
Copied trades are carried out according to your account settings, and your results may differ from the strategy provider you follow due to differences in trade size, execution prices and market conditions.
Copier vs Signal Provider
Copy trading involves two key participants: the Copier and the Signal Provider, each playing a distinct role in the process. Understanding the differences can help you decide which role aligns with your trading goals.
| Aspect | Copier | Signal Provider |
|---|---|---|
| Role | Follows a selected Signal Provider and copies eligible trades into their Copy Trading account. | Shares their trading activity for Copiers to follow. |
| Main objective | Participate in the markets by following another trader’s approach, without making every trading decision independently. | Make trading decisions and allow other users to copy eligible trades. |
| Account setup | Opens or selects an eligible Copy Trading account and funds it according to the applicable requirements. | Opens a Copy Trading account and accepts the Signal Provider terms and conditions, where required. |
| Trading activity | Copied trades are replicated according to the applicable copy settings and account conditions. | Executes trades that may be replicated in Copiers’ accounts. |
| Settings and controls | Can configure available copy settings, including Used Margin Multiples, to adjust copied trade allocation. | Manages their own trading activity and available provider settings. |
| Performance monitoring | Reviews account equity, profit and loss (P&L), and other available account performance information. | Reviews their own trading performance and strategy activity. |
