⚡ Quick Start

 

Step 1: Browse Top Traders

🔍 Navigate to the Discovery Page

  1. Enter the AI Hub and click on "Copy Trading".
  2. Select a statistical period (1 day to 1 year) and browse the various leaderboards:
    • 🏆 Profit Rate Rankings - Who has earned the most? (Highest ROI, Highest P&L, Copier Profit)

💡 Recommended Selection Order for Beginners:

Step 1: Browse the rankings

The ranking filters are divided into two main parts: Basic Metrics and Composite Metrics.

  • Basic Metrics are single-dimension indicators, for example: highest return, highest profit/loss, highest profit‑loss ratio, lowest maximum drawdown, largest assets under management, most copy traders, highest copier profit, longest running time, highest total equity, etc.
  • Composite Metrics evaluate signal providers across multiple dimensions and include: Overall Strength Ranking, Stability Index Ranking, and Popularity Index Ranking.

You can also quickly locate a trader via search:

Enter the signal provider’s nickname in the search box at the top right of the rankings to retrieve that trader immediately.

Step 2: Evaluate Trader Performance

📊 Focus on 4 Key Metrics:

Equity Curve

  • Trend: Is it steadily increasing?
  • Volatility: Are there significant fluctuations?
  • Recovery: Can it recover quickly after a loss?

Key Metrics of the Lead Trader

  • Cumulative Profit: Overall profitability.
  • Max Drawdown: Risk control capability (excellent if <20%).
  • P&L Ratio: The profit-to-loss efficiency of each trade.
  • Concentration: The most frequently traded assets and investment diversification.
  • Trading Frequency: How active the trader is.

Operational Data

  • Running Time: Recommended >30 days (proven over time).
  • Number of Copiers: Recommended >50 (market recognition).
  • Max Drawdown: Recommended <20% (strong risk control).

Personal Profile

  • Trading Style: Swing trading, high-frequency, long-term, etc.
  • Professional Background: Trading experience and areas of expertise.

Recommended Standard for Newcomers: Stable Growth > Low Drawdown > High Profit > Short-term Surges

Step 3: Configure Copy Trading Parameters

💰 Basic Parameter Settings

Copy Amount

  • First Try: 10-50 USDT (single copy trade ≥10 USDT)
  • Formal Investment: 100-500 USDT
  • Large Investment: 1,000+ USDT

Stop-Loss Setting (Required)

  • Conservative: 85% (max loss of 15%)
  • Balanced: 80% (max loss of 20%)
  • Aggressive: 70% (max loss of 30%)

Take-Profit Setting (Optional)

  • Conservative Target: 130% (30% profit)
  • Balanced Target: 150% (50% profit)
  • Aggressive Target: 200% (100% profit)

🛡️ Drawdown Protection (Recommended)

  • Suggested Setting: 20%
  • How it works: Automatically stops copying when the equity drops 20% from its peak.
  • Example: You invest 1,000, which grows to 1,500. If it then drops to 1,200, the system stops the copy, securing a 200 profit.

Click "Confirm Copy," and congratulations! You have successfully started following the trader.


 

🎯 Detailed Features

 

📊 Multi-Dimensional Metrics for Trader Evaluation

In-depth Interpretation of Metrics:

  • Latest Net Asset Value (NAV) The current value per unit. A value greater than 1 indicates a cumulative profit.
  • Running Time The duration of the lead trading strategy. A longer duration is more representative.
  • Daily Trades Too high may indicate over-trading; too low may result in missed opportunities.
  • Win Rate The percentage of profitable trades.
  • P&L (Profit & Loss) Ratio
    • Calculation: Average Profit / Average Loss
    • Excellent Standard: >2.0, meaning the average profit is more than double the average loss.
    • Reflects the trader's risk management capability.
  • Top 3 Traded Volume %
    • Calculation: (Volume of Top 3 Assets) / (Total Trading Volume)
    • Ideal Range: 50-80%
    • Indicates concentration. Too high suggests concentrated risk; too low may indicate a lack of specialization.
  • Average Holding Time Reflects the trading style. Minutes/hours suggest an intraday focus, while days/weeks indicate a swing trading approach.
  • Last Trade Time Indicates recent activity. It is recommended to choose recently active traders.
  • Total Equity The current value of the trader's account, representing their financial strength.
  • Realized Profit Share The actual income earned by the trader from leading trades.
  • Unrealized P&L The paper profit or loss of the trader's current open positions.

📱 Real-Time Copying

Real-Time Position Sync:

  • New Positions: When the trader opens a position, your account syncs within seconds.
  • Position Adjustments: All actions, including increasing, decreasing, or closing positions, are followed automatically.
  • Price Protection: Intelligent slippage control protects the execution price.

Real-Time Asset Updates:

  • Account Equity: Displays the total value of your assets in real time.

🚨 Alerts and Protection

  • Price slippage
  • Risk limit
  • Order too small
  • Liquidation risk
  • Take-profit triggered
  • Stop-loss triggered

💰 Profit Calculation & Sharing Mechanism

Profit Calculation:

  • Real-Time P&L: Floating profit and loss based on current market prices.
  • Realized P&L: Confirmed profit and loss from closed orders.
  • Cumulative ROI: (Total P&L / Total Investment) × 100%

Profit-Sharing Mechanism Explained:

  • Basis for Calculation: Your net profit.
  • Formula: Net Profit × Profit-Sharing Rate = Profit Share Payable.
  • High-Water Mark: Fees are only charged on profits that exceed the previous historical peak (protects the copier's interests).
  • Settlement Time: Daily at 00:00 UTC and also when you stop copying a trader.

Profit-Sharing Example:

  • Investment: 1,000 USDT, Profit-Sharing Rate: 20%
  • Day 1: Profit of 100 → Pay 20 USDT in profit share.
  • Day 2: Loss of 50 (Total profit is now 50) → No profit share is paid.
  • Day 3: Profit increases to 120 (This is 20 above the previous high-water mark of 100) → Pay 4 USDT in profit share (20 * 20%).
