Copy Trading

Copy trading lets users follow and mirror trader behavior inside PredictDog.

Best way to start​

If you are new to copy trading, start on web rather than Telegram.

That gives you the clearest place to:

  • understand what trader you are following
  • configure the copy task
  • inspect task behavior in portfolio and activity context

What users should expect​

Copy trading is not presented as a loose watchlist shortcut. It is a tracked product flow with its own task and budget behavior.

How task risk works​

Copy trading risk controls are configured at the task level, not at the individual copied position level.

That means:

  • take profit and stop loss apply to the whole copy task
  • the trigger uses realized net PnL percentage, not floating unrealized PnL
  • closed buy and sell sequences attributed to the task count toward the threshold
  • the product treats copy trading as managed automation, not as a passive follow bookmark

What TP and SL mean in practice​

PredictDog treats copy-trading TP and SL as percentage thresholds on realized task performance.

Users should think of this as:

  • TP: stop future copy actions after the task reaches the configured realized profit percentage
  • SL: stop future copy actions after the task reaches the configured realized loss percentage

This is intentionally different from a floating mark-to-market trigger. Open copied positions do not automatically stop a task just because they are temporarily up or down.

What happens when a task stops​

Stopping a copy-trading task does not auto-close copied positions.

That is true when the task is stopped:

  • manually by the user
  • by take profit
  • by stop loss
  • by budget-related task constraints

When a task stops, PredictDog stops creating future copy actions for that task. Existing copied positions remain open until the user or the followed trader closes them through normal trading flow.

Best place to manage it​

Web is the richer control surface for copy trading because it is better suited for:

  • exploring traders
  • creating and adjusting copy tasks
  • understanding budget usage
  • reviewing copy-related activity in account context

Web and Telegram inputs​

Both web and Telegram let users configure copy-trading percentages as normal percentage inputs such as 50 or 20.

Users do not need to think in internal ratio form. The product converts those percentages into the task configuration automatically.

Telegram relationship​

Telegram includes copy-trading entrypoints and shortcuts, but web remains the clearer place to understand how a copy task is configured and how it is performing.

Common mistake​

Treating copy trading like a passive follow button can lead to confusion. PredictDog models it as an explicit tracked task with account implications.
