Copy profit of successful traders

Copytrading

Copytrading (copying trades) allows you to copy the other traders' orders directly. You decide how much to invest and automatically copy all trades opened by the selected trader in real-time - any trade opened by a trader is also displayed on your account.

Besides, on our platform Profit-Raiders, you have the opportunity to choose a trader, having familiarized yourself with his results in advance.

You do not influence the trades, and you get the same result (profit or loss) as a chosen trader.

That is just one of the options to benefit from the other traders` expertise. In addition, in this case, you maintain control over the result. You retain the ability to close deals and open new ones whenever you want.

Copying another trader's trades allows you potentially to profit from his skills.
