Introduction
Copy Trading lets you automatically follow the trades of top-performing Master Traders on Flipster. When they trade, you trade. No manual execution needed.
Choose a Master Trader based on their track record, set your budget and risk preferences, and Flipster handles the rest. Your funds stay in a separate wallet with built-in safeguards, so you stay in control.
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

Step 4: Configure your copy settings, check the agreement box, then click [Confirm] to start copying.
See Configure Your Copy Settings below for the full list of options and ranges.
Once activated, any new trades opened by the Master Trader will be automatically replicated in your account.
Master Trader Profile
The profile page shows:
- P&L and ROI — profit/loss and return on investment
- Copier P&L — total P&L generated for copiers
- Sharpe ratio — risk-adjusted return
- Max drawdown — largest peak-to-trough decline
- Win rate — percentage of profitable trades
- Trading volume and Turnover rate
- P&L and ROI chart — historical performance graph
- Asset preference — which symbols the Master Trader focuses on
Tabs available on the profile: Master performance | Trading activity | Feed
Tip: You may copy multiple Master Traders simultaneously to diversify across strategies and risk profiles.
Configure Your Copy Settings
Once the Copy trading settings panel is open, configure the following:
Copy Mode:
- Fixed ratio — your position size scales proportionally to the Master Trader's balance
- Fixed multiplier — your position size is determined by applying a multiplier you set directly to the Master Trader's position size
Tip: Always review the effect of Fixed Multiplier Mode on your margin, P&L, and leverage before confirming a subscription to avoid unintended risk exposure.
Copy amount:
- Set between 100 and 50,000 USDT
- This amount is transferred into a dedicated Copy Trading Wallet, isolated from your main balance
Start copying from:
- Copy all existing positions — copy all of the Master Trader's existing positions at market price
- Copy better entries for existing positions — copy only when you can enter at a better price than the Master Trader
- Copy new positions only — the Master Trader's existing positions will not be copied
Stop loss:
- Set between 5% and 95% of your copy trading balance
- If triggered: all copy positions close immediately, the subscription ends, and remaining funds return to your spot wallet
Max entry slippage:
- Set between 0.1% and 3% (default: 0.5%)
- Lower slippage improves price accuracy but increases the chance of order failure during fast markets
Check the agreement box (Terms of Use + Copy Trading Policy) and tap/click [Confirm] to start copying.
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:
| Mode | Formula |
|---|---|
| Fixed Ratio | Your Position Size = (Your Copy Balance / Master's Balance) x Master's Position Size |
| Fixed Multiplier | Your Position Size = Master's Position Size × Multiplier |
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 Stop loss is reached
Asset Categories & Leverage Limits
Flipster groups perpetual futures contracts into asset categories to manage volatility.
| Category | Copy Trading | Max Copier Leverage |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Supported | 100x |
| 2 | Supported | 50x |
| 3–8 | Supported | 20x |
| 9–13 | Not Supported | N/A |
Important:
- A Master Trader may use higher leverage, but Copy Traders are capped by category limits
- Trades in unsupported categories (9–13) 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
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
Profit Share & Trading Fee Rebates
Profit Share
Master Traders earn a percentage of net profits (e.g., 15% as shown in the settings panel), 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 this rebate is paid from Flipster's share and does not reduce the Copy Trader's earnings.
