Copy trading crypto CFDs on MetaTrader

The market does not close, but your broker's conditions change

Crypto trades through weekends while spreads widen and liquidity thins. A strategy whose published record was built at one broker's weekend conditions can behave quite differently at yours. This is the asset class where slippage between the trader's fill and yours is largest, because the fastest moves happen when the fewest participants are active.

Gaps defeat stop losses

A stop loss is an instruction to exit at the next available price, not at the price you named. Crypto gaps through levels routinely, so a copied strategy's actual worst loss can substantially exceed what its stop placement implies. Any drawdown figure on a crypto record should be read with that in mind.

Financing costs vary more than in forex

Overnight financing on crypto CFDs differs widely between brokers and is often materially higher than on currency pairs. For a strategy that holds positions for days, that cost can consume a meaningful part of the return — on your side of the trade, invisible in the trader's published figures.

Before you copy one of these

• Check your broker's weekend spread on the specific instruments the strategy trades.
• Read maximum drawdown as a floor, not a ceiling — gaps can exceed stop levels.
• Compare overnight financing rates if the strategy holds positions beyond a day.

Every profile shows its equity curve, drawdown and individual closed positions, so a record can be checked rather than taken on trust.
