How Versus Trade copy trading works
- Copy trading runs on MetaTrader 5 across desktop, web and mobile.
- Four copy modes: fixed lot, proportional, equity-based and multiplier.
- Master traders publish profiles with their equity curve, 30-day results, risk level and drawdown.
- Fees follow a high-watermark model — a performance fee applies only when your equity passes its previous peak; management and volume fees may apply where enabled.
- You keep control: set a maximum drawdown, per-trade limits and volume multipliers, and pause or stop copying at any time.
- Your funds stay in your own MT5 account — Versus Trade only provides the connection between follower and master.
- Each master trader's profile shows a 30-day return, win rate, maximum drawdown and a risk score, so you can compare before copying.
- The typical minimum to start copying is around $100, though it varies by master trader and account type.
- Copying another trader does not remove risk: past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results and you can still lose money.
