Risk belongs beside returns.

Trading can lose capital

Copying a strategy gives you exposure to its trading decisions. A profitable history does not establish the outcome of the next trade or protect the money you allocate. Consider the effect of losing that capital before connecting.

Leveraged CFDs create exposure to price changes. They do not turn a deposit into ownership of the underlying gold. A small market movement can have a much larger effect on the capital supporting a leveraged position.

Amplification works in both directions

Greater trading capacity can magnify gains and losses. The 24× illustration describes possible capacity under eligible account terms, not withdrawable money or a promise of available leverage.

Capacity, actual position exposure and a platform’s liquidation threshold are different measures. Do not calculate a safe loss limit by treating them as interchangeable. Check the current terms and the basis for each figure.

Drawdown measures a fall from a peak

An account that falls from a previous equity peak is in drawdown, even if it remains above its original deposit. Closed-trade balance alone can miss losses on positions that are still open.

CopyTradingHQ does not have the historical account equity series needed to report actual maximum drawdown for this source. The monthly compounded chart is a historical illustration, not proof that no intramonth losses occurred.

Liquidation can close positions automatically

Account terms can specify a threshold at which positions are liquidated or an account is closed. The precise threshold, the equity or allocation measure used, and the actions taken must be confirmed in the actual agreement. No numeric threshold is currently verified here.

A threshold is not a guaranteed execution price or a guaranteed maximum loss. Actual execution during volatile or illiquid markets can differ from expected stop levels due to slippage, gaps and liquidity conditions.

Execution, slippage and gaps

A requested price and an executed price can differ. This is slippage. A gap occurs when prices move between available trading levels; a position may not be closable at every price in between.

Volatility can change prices quickly. Limited liquidity can make orders harder to fill as expected. The strategy and follower account can receive different executions, so a source result may not match the result in your account.

Historical results have boundaries

The website distinguishes raw provider trades, calibrated follower-equivalent returns and hypothetical account replays. None is a forecast. A high win rate does not describe loss size, open exposure or the chance of future success.

In-progress months contain only the imported activity through the stated cutoff. Historical fee assumptions, reinvestment choices and source attribution affect the illustration. Read the methodology alongside the return figure.

Automatic copying still needs attention

Connection interruptions, sizing rules, account restrictions or insufficient margin can affect which trades are copied. A copied account is not guaranteed to be an exact mirror.

Know how to monitor activity, stop new copying and deal with open positions. Stopping copying may leave existing trades open; the platform’s terms and controls determine what happens.

Broker and platform risk

Access to an account depends on the broker and platform continuing to operate and process instructions. Outages, operational failures and account restrictions can affect trading or withdrawals.

Confirm the exact legal entity, jurisdiction and applicable account protections yourself. This site does not assert that a specific insurance scheme, regulatory protection or compensation arrangement covers your account.

Funding, currency and crypto

Deposits can be made using fiat currency or cryptocurrency through the methods supported in your account. Withdrawals can be made to supported crypto wallets or EU bank accounts. UK bank withdrawals are not currently supported. Check supported currencies, networks, fees and processing requirements directly.

Currency conversion changes the value received in another currency. Crypto transfers introduce network, address and asset-price considerations. Check the intended network and destination before using a supported method; do not assume transfers can be reversed.

Users are responsible for understanding their own tax and reporting obligations. A funding route does not remove those obligations.

Withdrawals and account conditions

Available cash and an account’s displayed value may differ when positions are open or funds support trading exposure. Check the rules for closing trades, releasing margin and withdrawing.

Profits can be withdrawn at any time, provided they have not been reinvested. The initial investment becomes eligible for withdrawal after 30 days. Reinvesting profits restarts the 30-day withdrawal clock. Consider this before choosing to reinvest. Withdrawal eligibility does not mean instant payment. Available funds, verification, fees and processing requirements remain subject to current CopyX/Tag Markets account terms. Trading losses can reduce the amount available to withdraw. Changing reinvestment in our historical calculator does not change any real account term.
