Remove open position requirement for copy strategies
18 Jun 2024, 07:18


Currently a copy strategy needs to have at least one open position to be shown in the strategy list / search result. 

This requirement should be removed and if necessary be replaced by something like last activity within 5 days or so.

It is commonly accepted that overtrading is worse. So why forcing strategy providers to keep a position open all the time just to better promote their strategy. Secondly it is worse for investors, when they invest into strategy with already open position as they will sendup with a potentially worse entry price. 

Overall I don't understand the rational behind this requirement and strongly suggest to remove / replace it.
