Hello

I'd like to know if it's possible to programmatically track the copy trading activity of a master account when I subscribe as a follower ?

 

Thanks

IMHO this will not be possible. If it would, anyone could copy the trades themselves and the master trader would not get its fees...

Yes, that's why I said as a subscriber/investor but I get your point of view...makes sense

Yes, search for "web scraping"

Yes, search for "web scraping"

Web scraping cTrader strategies might not work, especially on fast working scalping algorithms.
Reason: The update frequency of the web sites might be to slow to copy each trade successfully. I.e. the web site say that ROI is updated only every 15 Minutes (for strategy provides, others 1 day), Net and Gross Profit is updated with a 1 minute delay. However there is no information about the delay of new or closed orders in the Positions/History/Transactions Windows...

The question was whether it is possible. Not if it was functional.
Functional is relative, if it is for example to "clone" the trades, no. If it is for report documents or notify followers on telegram, yes.
