No, you have the choice of opening an account with any forex broker as far the broker has integrated the cTrader platform for traders. The cTrader Copy investment structure does not require that all investor accounts be opened in the same forex broker. You open the account in your name.

Yes, provided the broker has integrated the cTrader platform for forex traders. The cTrader platfrom allows Strategy Providers/fund managers to trade investors account irrespective of the broker there are using putting a greater percentage of account control in the hands of investors except trading, therefore investors must at the same broker for the fund manager to trade his/her account.

You would have to follow the procedure in our investment guide and a special CopyTrading account will be created for you, where you will control everything like adding funds, removing funds, setting Equity Stop Loss, stoping the strategy copying and restarting.

Yes, sometimes a forex managed program reaches a limit and must close to new investors. Usually, if you have already submitted your Account Application to the broker, your account will still be permitted to join the forex managed program. To make sure, however, you should always fund your account as soon as possible. Many brokers will allow you to submit funds at the same time as your application and documents approval to speed up the process.

You can deposit funds to your account through through the available deposit options given by your chosen broker. Login to your broker cabinate and deposit your funds. You may need to have an account in one of the deposit options.

The minimum amount to make an investment is $100, Recommended is $1,000 and there is no specific maximum investment amount as the Forex market can support an investment of almost any size.

A lower net profit history usually comes in association with a lower history of drawdown, or lower risk of loss. The reason one might choose such an account is motivated as much or more by lowering risk, as by making profits. But because of the lower profit objectives, the account manager makes less money from their performance fees -- and they have a certain minimum they wish to make, which they aim to achieve by requiring a higher minimum account size. It is not uncommon to see minimums of $10k, all the way up to $100k -- so what we are presenting to investors here is an exceptional set of opportunities.

To withdraw funds, you simply execute a withdrawal request in the cabinate of your chosen broker. Login to your account and withdraw your funds. But first, you have to remove funds from your cTrader Copy account to your main account before facilitating the withdrawal process.

No, there are no penalties for withdrawing from the copytrading account at any time you choose. To access us by our performance when investing with us, the minimum period of investment should not be less than six (6) months; the recommended period of investment is one (1) year.

No, the funds in your cTrader Copy account is in your name at the broker. You are the proprietor of this account and the only one who can make deposits to or withdraw from this account. The structure of cTrader Copy is that the investor is copying the trades of the Strategy Provider and also authorizes deduction from generated profits, the agreed Performance Fee/profit share ("incentive fee") stated in the Strategy Providers proposal. This deduction is done and paid to the Strategy Provider by the Government Licensed & Regulated Broker.

Yes, eventually profits left in your account will be considered an addition to invested funds, and will be factored into trade size calculations for future trades.

Yes, it is possible to follow a Demo strategy with your Live account. However, you should be aware that because the Strategy Provider is using a Demo account, this could affect their judgment and behaviour.

The 'Investment Stats' section of cTrader Copy serves as an investment profile and offers detailed information about the trading activity of the account copying a specific strategy. Click on a strategy in the accounts list under the expandable 'Copy' tab..

The 'Investment Stats' section provides the following information:

· Type of the copying account (i.e., live or demo).

· Name of the strategy being copied by the account (clickable to expand the all time strategy statistics).

· All time ROI for the copy-trading account.

· Current equity of the copy-trading account.

· Equity stop loss level set for this copy-trading account.

· Copying status (i.e., started, stopped, stopping, or close only):

 Started - the copying process is on.

 Stopped - the copying process is off.

Stopping - the copying process is being stopped. Once the open positions are closed and fees are charged, the status will change to 'Stopped'.

 Close only - new positions are not being copied, only closing positions are copied. It is only possible due to specific broker conditions. In case you see this status, you should contact your broker for assistance.

No. When you are copying a strategy you can still trade yourself but using another trading account. You cannot trade yourself using a Copy Trading Account.

In the case of closing trades that is being managed for you, All the positions that your Strategy Provider has opened on your behalf, are listed in the Positions table of your Investment profile, just like they would be if you had opened them yourself. But you can only view them. The only way to close them is to stop following the strategy. After that, all the open positions in the list will be closed.

Yes, an investor can stop copying a strategy at any time. When you stop copying a strategy, all the existing open positions for your copy-trading account will be closed. After the copying is stopped, all the funds of the copying account will be automatically transferred to the main account.

When you stop copying a strategy, all open positions copied from that strategy will be closed for your Copy Trading Account and the unrealized Performance and Management Fees will be realized after all the positions are closed. This is because you cannot receive a close signal once you have stopped copying.

A Provider can stop providing a strategy that you are copying at any time. In this case, all your copied open positions will be closed and all the unrealized Performance and Management Fees will be realized. Your Copy Trading Account preview status will be changed to Stopped. The stopped strategy can be restarted by a Provider and can be copied again by an Investor unless they are removed

The Equity Stop Loss for a copy-trading account can be set at any time while copying. This functionality allows investors to limit losses when copying a strategy. You can modify your equity stop loss level after copying a strategy, adjusting your settings in the 'Set Equity Stop Loss' window. When modifying your Equity Stop Loss type out the amount that you want to set your Set Equity Stop Loss to protect 60% of your invested capital as recommended by us, (I.e assuming you are investing $10,000 you should set your stop-loss level at $6,000)

We charge a 30% Performance Fee from the profits made each month depending on your investment. In the case we do not make any profits, we receive no Performance Fee and if we make a loss, we will not be paid until we make all money we have lost back.

At the end of the first month after your account begins trading, if there is a profit, the broker will deduct the Performance Fees, which have been authorized when copying our Strategy. Each month they will do the same. The Performance Fee is a percentage of the net profits per month from the "watermark" of previous highs. If there are no profits in a given month, there are no Performance Fees. The high equity point established after Performance Fees are calculated creates the "watermark" which must be surpassed before any future profits may again be calculated. For example, you start with $10,000 in an account with a performance fee of 30%, and during the month there is $4000 in gross profit. The Performance's Fees deducted would be 30% of $4000, which is $1200, so your net profit would be $2800, and your account would now have a "watermark" new balance of $12,800. If in the next month there was a loss of $1000, there would be no Performance Fees deducted, since there is no profit, and your new balance would be $11,800. Your "watermark" is still $12,800. In the third month, if there was $3000 in gross profit, then the Performance Fees would be calculated on only $2000 of that, since the first $1000 in profit gets your account back up to its "watermark" of $12,800. So the Performance Fees would be 30% of $2000, or $600, and your net profit for that month would be $2400 (which is $1000 + $1400), and your new account balance would be the new "watermark" of $14,200 (which is $11,800 + $1000 + $1400).

The monthly Performance fee is usually deducted by the broker on or near the first of each calendar month. Only the broker can say exactly what date they use, however, you can expect it will be about the same time every month. Another time the performance fees are deduction is when the investor want to withdraw/remove funds or stop following the strategy.

Basically the Strategy Provider is acting as a trader just as you would yourself, if self-trading your own forex brokerage account, so the same risks apply to them, and thus to you and your account as if you were trading it yourself. You are exposed to the risk of draw down or loss in your account whether it is managed by someone else or whether you trade it yourself.

This is an important question of which we are keenly aware. Please read our detailed information in the Anti-Scam Guide

Here are some reasons to diversify:-

1) Investment advisers have always advocated diversification.

2) Most investors' portfolios are heavily concentrated in the stock market and or bond market.

3) Most mutual funds are highly correlated to each other and the market.

4) Protecting yourself from the risks associated with investment concentration is important to your financial well-being.

5) Forex is not correlated to the stock market, so it provides true diversification to lower your overall investment portfolio risk.

6) Forex offers profit/loss potential regardless of market direction, unlike some other markets (no “Bear” Market).
