How to Use Copy Trading on Flipster?

Copy Trading on Flipster mirrors the USDT-margined perpetual futures trades of selected Master Traders directly into your own account. Once subscribed, every open, adjust, and close action performed by a Master Trader is automatically replicated in your copy wallet with proportional sizing and category-based leverage limits.

Your copy wallet is isolated from your main trading funds. This separation ensures independent risk control, clearer margin tracking, and fair settlement of trading fees and profit share.

How Position Replication Works

Opening Positions

When a Master Trader opens a new perpetual futures position, Flipster’s Copy Trading engine replicates the trade in your account:

• Execution at the current market price at the moment of replication,

• Identical position mode and margin mode,

• Proportional sizing using the Fixed Ratio formula,

• Category-based leverage cap

Your Position Size = (Your Copy Balance ÷ Master Trader’s Balance) × Master Trader’s Position Size

This ensures your exposure scales proportionally and avoids overextension of your margin.

Closing Positions

When the Master Trader exits a position, your copy position:

• closes in the same direction, in the same proportion, and at the current market price.

The copy close triggers not only when the Master closes manually but also when:

• the Master’s position is liquidated, or

• the Master’s stop-loss activates.

Your copy wallet is designed to remain fully synchronized with the Master Trader’s lifecycle events.

Copy Trading Symbol Categories and Leverage Limits

Flipster groups perpetual futures contracts into asset categories to manage volatility and risk. Copy Trading automatically applies leverage caps according to these category rules.

Key mechanics:

• A Master Trader may use higher leverage, but your position is automatically capped at the platform’s maximum for that category.

• If the Master trades an unsupported category (9–13), the trade is skipped entirely for the Copy Trader.

• Only USDT-margined perpetuals participate in Copy Trading; other contract types are excluded by design.

• Trading fees are based on your Flipster VIP tier and settle in USDT.

Risk Management for Copy Trading

Flipster includes two customizable safeguards to help manage market volatility and protect your allocated margin.

Total Stop Loss

You can choose a Total Stop Loss between 0% and 75%.

When your copy balance falls below your chosen threshold:

1. All copy positions close immediately at market price.

2. Your subscription to the Master Trader ends.

3. Remaining funds return to your spot USDT balance.

This prevents extended drawdowns or runaway losses during volatility.

Max Entry Slippage

Max Entry Slippage defines the maximum acceptable deviation between:

• The Master Trader’s execution price, and your replication price.

  • Default: 0.5%

  • Adjustable range: 0.1% to 3%

A lower slippage limit increases pricing accuracy but also increases the chance that your order cannot be filled during high volatility.

When Orders Fail

A copy order may fail due to market conditions or margin-related constraints. These failure rules are built to protect the Copy Trader’s account and maintain system integrity.

A copy execution may fail if:

• Your available balance in the copy wallet is insufficient.

• The Master Trader used a limit order that did not fully fill.

• The market price exceeded your configured slippage tolerance.

• The trade size falls below the minimum effective position value of 1 USDT.

If the system detects five consecutive failed copy attempts, or your copy wallet balance drops below 10 USDT, the subscription stops automatically to avoid fragmented or partial synchronization.

Copy Trading Profit Share and Rebate

Profit Share (15%)

Master Traders earn 15% of the Copy Trader’s total profit, calculated weekly using the High Watermark Method.

This ensures Masters only earn profit share when your portfolio reaches a new highest profit point.

Settlements occur every Monday 00:00 UTC in USDT.

High Watermark Example

Additional safeguard: If the Master Trader’s total unrealized loss exceeds –20,000 USDT during the weekly snapshot, profit share is skipped for that week.

Trading Fee Rebate (5%)

Master Traders also receive a 5% rebate on all trading fees generated by their copiers.

Settlements occur every Monday 00:00 UTC in USDT.
