cTrader Copy Questions.
20 Oct 2018, 06:49
Hi,
I have a few questions about cTrader copy;
1 - Is it a requirement for copier accounts to be looged in/connected to the internet for execution?
2 - Since copying accounts can choose to close/edit trades, how are performances fees calculated? Are they based on the master accounts PL?
3 - Will there be an option in the future to connect to strategies without opening all running trades at market?
4 - Will there be risk multiplier options added in the future? (eg; x 0.5 or x2)
5 - Will there be equity drawdown 'kill switch' investors' protection added in the future? (Allowing to set max accepted DD)
6 - Would it be an option to have a whitelable like model where strategy providers can offer trade copying services, with that as the only listed option (rather than being able to select from multiple providers).

Thanks for your reply.
A few follow up questins,
On #2 - Is there any plans to impliment a passive investment type model (this will be more attractive to profitable MMs rather than the variables of clients execution of their trades.
On #3 - Any reason for this?
On #4 - Surely these two can work hand in hand? If I want to copy on a E-E basis at 2x all that is required is to treat my equality as 50% of what it is. 200% for me to run x0.5, and so on.
On #6 - I sent an email to the partners email regarding master IBs and it was yourself that replied, is this the same avenue with which we can discusss this? My email is similar to my username here, for your reference.

On a somewhat unrelated issue, I am trying to run some tests on cTrader Copy but am unable to connect strateiges via IC Marktes or Traderway. I understand IC have not updated to 3.0 based on other posts here but TW do show on their software it is 3.0.
Are there still teething problems with connecting new strategies? There appears to be no banner to connect strategies and copying is the only thing enabled.

Hi deanblackfx,
What is the problem with TradersWay? I am not sure what do you mean with "no banner to connect strategies and copying is the only thing enabled". What banners are you reffering too? What do you mean "copying is the only thing enabled"? What else would you expect to see?
Best Regards,

Hi deanblackfx,
Thanks for posting in our forum. Please find below the answers to your questions.
1. No, the entire copying process is taking place on our servers.
2. Performance fee (if it is set by the provider) are calculated based on profits of copied trades. Non copied trades are not considered. You can find more information here.
3. No, we do not have such plans.
4. Since cTrader Copy is an Equity to Equity model, there will not be such an option.
5. There is already an Equity Spot Loss feature. See more information [here].
6. cTrader Copy service offers strategies from various brokers. If you wish to white label cTrader Copy service and control which strategies will be provided in your service, then you should contact our sales department for more information about the available options.
Best Regards,
Panagiotis
