1.What is Spot Copy Trading?
Spot Copy Trading is a feature that allows you to automatically copy the live trades of expert Lead Traders on the platform. As a copier, when you follow a trader, your positions will mirror theirs in real time, giving you direct exposure to their trading strategy, market analysis, and decision-making process.
 
2.How to manage account balance for spot copy trading
To begin spot copy trading as a copier, you must first transfer the assets you wish to use from your Spot, Funding, or USDT-M Account into your dedicated Spot Copy Trading Account.
 
This transfer isolates your copy trading capital. Once transferred, these assets cannot be withdrawn, transferred out, or used for any other trading activities for the duration of the copy trading session.
 
You can adjust your allocated funds at any time by adding more capital or reducing your exposure, and track all related transfers in your account history.
