Social Trading

Among many of the tools and strategies you will discover through the FXPN trading platform, the social trading network may be a tool to get acquainted with. Copy trading is very common amongst investors because it allows traders on the active markets to mimic the actions done by other, usually more experienced traders.

Social trading is fully integrated into our platform and offers access to the live trades of other investors allowing you to copy the positions opened and managed by these traders, with the option to disconnect copied trades and manage them individually.

Some consider copy trading to be an effective approach for new traders because it allows you to pay close attention to what established traders have been doing whilst requiring minimal effort from your side.*

The copy trading tool works quite passively and can be a great way to manage risk more effectively while still staying ahead of market trends!

Automatic copying of a trader (mirror trading)

To automatically copy all of a trader’s trades (mirror trading), click on the “copy” button on their profile page. Two mirroring trading methods are available:

Allocate an amount you wish to invest. The position sizes will be proportional to the size of the trader’s positions. For example, if the trader initiates a 1-lot trade with his $10,000 account and your allocation is $1,000, the size of your position will be 0.10 lots.
Copy the trader’s position with a fixed lot size.

Manual trade copying using the social feed

With the social feed, you can manually copy the trades of other traders. When a trader validates an order to buy or sell, a copy button appears in the social feed. You can therefore click on the button to bring up a window which allows you to copy the trade and define the settings of the trade (number of lots, SL, TP). Every trade that you copy must also be closed manually.
When you copy a trade, the trade’s risk/reward ratio may differ from the original order due to the time lag between the confirmation of the original trade and the confirmation of the copied trade.

The Analysis Lab

The analysis lab allows you to view trading statistics and a performance summary covering several periods (1m, 3m, 6m, 1yr). The page displays:

The number of days the trading system has been running.
The success rate (in %) during the selected period.
The average daily profit or loss.
The maximum loss (drawdown) expressed as a percentage.
The best trade / the worst trade.
The level of risk.
A profit and loss chart covering the requested period.
