When you allocate part of your capital to an expert trader on the [Pax Capitals Copy Trading Directory](https://paxcapitals.com/markets?market=crypto), the copy engine watches that trader's account and replicates their open positions on your behalf. If they open a buy on an asset with 2% of their balance, your account opens the same trade with 2% of your allocated amount. When they close or adjust, yours follows.

Copy trading is one of the simplest ways to enter the markets. Instead of analysing charts and placing every position yourself, you choose a trader whose style you trust — and your account automatically mirrors their trades in real time. Learn more on our Live Trading Terminal.

You stay in control at all times. You can stop copying instantly, set a limit on how much capital is exposed, and withdraw funds that are not currently locked in a position.

The benefits

• Learn by watching — you see exactly what skilled traders do with risk and timing.
• Save time — no need to sit at the screen during every session.
• Scale easily — copy multiple traders across different markets to spread your strategy.

Watch-outs

Past performance is not a promise of future results. A trader who performed well last quarter can hit a losing run tomorrow. Never copy more than you are comfortable losing, and always review a trader's entire history — win rate alone tells a small part of the story.
