Introduction
Copy Trading on Flipster allows you to automatically mirror the USDT-margined perpetual futures trades of experienced Master Traders. Once subscribed, every position opened, adjusted, or closed by a Master Trader is replicated in your account with proportional sizing, built-in risk controls, and optionally using Fixed Multiplier Mode for amplified exposure.
This guide walks you through how Copy Trading works, what happens behind the scenes, and how to configure your settings to trade responsibly.
How Copy Trading Works on Flipster
When you subscribe to a Master Trader, Flipster’s Copy Trading engine links your account to the Master’s trading activity.
Key principles:
- Trades are copied in real time at the current market price
- Position size scales proportionally (or by your chosen multiplier)
- Your funds are kept in a separate Copy Trading Wallet
- Leverage is automatically capped based on asset category rules
This ensures fair execution, controlled risk, and transparent settlement.
Step 1: Select a Master Trader
Before copying, review the Master Trader’s public performance data, including:
- ROI and cumulative P&L
- Sharpe Ratio and Maximum Drawdown (MDD)
- Win Rate and trading history
- Trading style and turnover rate
You may copy multiple Master Traders simultaneously to diversify across strategies and risk profiles.
Step 2: Allocate Margin to Copy Trading
Choose a margin allocation between 100 and 50,000 USDT.
This amount is transferred into a dedicated Copy Trading Wallet, fully isolated from your main trading balance.
Why wallet isolation matters:
- Losses are limited to your allocated margin
- P&L tracking is clearer
- Profit share and fees are calculated accurately
Note: Trading Bonus and Fee Vouchers cannot be used as copy trading margin.
Multiplier Mode: You may choose Fixed Multiplier Mode to scale your copied positions. The effective position size will be multiplied accordingly. Ensure your margin allocation can support the multiplier to avoid skipped trades or forced liquidation.
Step 3: Configure Your Risk Settings
Before confirming your subscription, adjust these key risk controls:
Total Stop Loss
- Set between 0% and 75% of your copy trading balance
- If triggered:
- All copy positions close immediately at market
- Subscription ends
- Remaining funds return to your spot USDT wallet
Note: High multipliers amplify losses, so choose your Total Stop Loss carefully.
Max Entry Slippage
- The maximum price deviation allowed between the Master Trader’s execution price and your copied trade’s execution price
- Default: 0.5% | Adjustable: 0.1% – 3%
- Lower slippage improves price accuracy but increases the chance of order failure during fast markets
How Position Replication Works
Opening Positions
When a Master Trader opens a position:
- Your copy trade executes at the current market price
- Position mode and margin mode are mirrored
- Leverage is copied but capped by category limits
- Position size is calculated using either Fixed Ratio or Fixed Multiplier Mode
Position Sizing Formulas:
-
Fixed Ratio Mode:
Your Position Size = (Your Copy Balance ÷ Master Trader’s Balance) × Master Trader’s Position Size -
Fixed Multiplier Mode:
Your Position Size = Fixed Ratio × Multiplier
This ensures your exposure scales proportionally or according to the chosen multiplier, avoiding unintended over-leverage.
Closing Positions
- Your copy position closes in the same direction and proportion at the current market price
- Copy positions also close automatically if:
- Master Trader’s stop loss is triggered
- Master Trader’s position is liquidated
- Your Total Stop Loss is reached
Asset Categories & Leverage Limits
Flipster groups perpetual futures contracts into asset categories to manage volatility.
| Category | Copy Trading Availability | Max Copier Leverage |
| 1 | Supported | 100× |
| 2 | Supported | 50× |
| 3–8 | Supported | 20× |
| 9–13 | Not Supported | N/A |
Important Notes:
- A Master Trader may use higher leverage, but Copy Traders are capped by category limits
- Trades in unsupported categories are skipped
- Fixed Multiplier Mode scales position size, but effective leverage cannot exceed the lower of your category limit or the Master Trader’s leverage
- Symbols assigned to each category may change; check the current supported symbols regularly
When Copy Trading Orders May Fail
A copy trade may fail if:
- Copy wallet balance is insufficient
- Master Trader uses a limit order that does not fully fill
- Price exceeds configured slippage tolerance
- Position value falls below 1 USDT
- Execution exceeds 2 seconds
- Effective leverage (after multiplier) exceeds category limits
Automatic unsubscription triggers:
- Five consecutive order failures
- Copy wallet balance drops below 10 USDT
Profit Share & Trading Fee Rebates
Profit Share (15%)
- Master Traders earn 15% of net profits, calculated weekly using High Watermark
- Profit share applies only to new profits; losses must be recovered before new fees are charged
- Settlements occur every Monday at 00:00 UTC in USDT
Trading Fee Rebate (5%)
- Master Traders receive 5% rebate on trading fees generated by copiers
- Settled weekly in USDT and does not affect Copy Trader’s net P&L
Note: Multiplier mode does not change profit share; net profits are calculated after multiplier effects in your copy wallet.
Unsubscribing from Copy Trading
You may unsubscribe from a Master Trader at any time.
When you do:
- All copy positions close at market price
- Profit share and rebates settle immediately
- Remaining funds return to your spot USDT wallet
Automatic unsubscription may also occur if:
- Total Stop Loss is triggered
- Copy wallet balance falls below 10 USDT
- Five consecutive order failures occur
