b. Smart Copy Parameters

• Copy Amount: This refers to the “Total Copy Trading Margin Limit” set by the trader. It is the maximum capital the follower allocates to this trader, including profits. The minimum is 10 USDT, and the maximum cannot exceed 5,000 USDT. The trader defines the limit range.
   
• Minimum 1 Contract (use Toggle button to enable):
  When enabled, if the calculated margin based on your capital is not enough to open one contract, the system will still open 1 contract. 

Example: If the minimum order quantity for ETH is 0.01 ETH ≈ 27.39 USDT, and your copy capital is only 20 USDT, enabling this option will still allow 1 contract to be opened. If disabled, the copy order will fail due to insufficient margin.
 

• Position Risk:
  You can set a Take Profit ratio, Stop Loss ratio, and Maximum Position Size. The Maximum Position Size refers to the highest investment amount the follower allows per trader. 

c. Classic Copy Parameters

•  The trader’s orders will follow the amount or multiplier set by the follower:
   
  • If set to Fixed Amount, the follower matches the trader's order size directly (e.g., trader opens 100 USDT, follower also opens 100 USDT).
     
  • If using a Multiplier (0.1x–10x), the follower’s order size is calculated accordingly (e.g., with a 10x multiplier, if the trader opens 100 USDT, the follower opens 1000 USDT).
     
• Margin Type:
  Followers can either mirror the trader’s position type (Reference Trader) or manually select Cross or Isolated Margin.

If the follower selects Isolated Margin, "Auto Increase Margin” is enabled by default. This means that if the trader adds margin, the follower will also add margin (provided their copy-trading assets are sufficient).

If the follower selects Cross Margin, if the trader adds margin, the follower will not add margin.

 

• Leverage:
  Followers can choose to mirror the trader’s leverage or set their own.
   
  • Mirror Trader: Follows the trader’s leverage.
     
  • Manual Selection: Uses the follower’s specified leverage. 

d. Slippage Setting (New Feature):
Users can now set slippage tolerance between 0.1%–5%. If the price deviation exceeds the set range, the system will not execute the corresponding copy order. If left unset, the default slippage is 0.1%.
