API Copy Trading

Note:

API copy trading use cases:

  1. Private-domain lead trading where no profit share is taken from copy accounts.
  2. You privately obtain a skilled trader’s trading-account API and want to copy their trades privately—or even sell their position data for others to copy.
  3. You use another third-party quant or copy-trading tool and do not want to share profits with them: run a small account with the minimum amount on their platform, then sync positions to your main account.

Add a lead-trading API

Add a read-only API, and give the API a name.

Note:

Do not add an IP whitelist to this API, or copy trading will not work.

Select or search for the API to follow

Create a copy-trading task

Note:

Start copying only when the lead API account is flat (no open positions)
Otherwise, when the trader adds or reduces size, you may be opened into their remaining position size (this case will be optimized later)

Example:
The trader already holds BTC with size 2.
If they add size and BTC becomes 3 (add 1), and you copy 1:1, your position jumps from 0 to 3.
If they reduce size and BTC becomes 1 (reduce 1), and you copy 1:1, your position jumps from 0 to 1.
To avoid this, wait until the lead account is flat before starting to copy.

Fill in the copy-trading task details and create the task.

This method has the lowest latency and the highest stability.
