What's the Strategy protection feature all about?

Strategy protection hides key trade information from non-copy traders and delays updates for copy traders by 5 minutes. This ensures that your trade strategies remain confidential and reduces the risk of slippage.

When enabled, Strategy Protection hides key information about ongoing trades from non-copy traders. This includes details such as:

  • Crypto pair

  • Trading time

  • Position size

  • Mark price

  • Entry price

Before the update is done

After the feature is utilized

For copy traders, all ongoing orders and notifications are displayed with a 5-minute delay. This delay helps to maintain the integrity of lead traders' strategies.

With strategy protection, your entries are protected and possible slippage issues through external signal replication by another Lead trader are minimized, thus, maintaining the validity of trading strategies.

How do I use the Strategy protection feature?

On the app

  1. Go to Trade > Bots & Copy > My lead trades

    Proceed to enter the My lead trades option

  2. Once in, select Settings and toggle on or off the Strategy protection option

  3. Toggle the Strategy protection setting according to your preference

On the web

What's the hidden Personal trades feature all about?

The hidden Personal trades feature (also referred to as hiding trade details or copy trade positions) allows lead traders to hide your personal trades from other users. When this feature is enabled, your personal trades aren't visible to others, and the trader isn't featured on the leaderboard.

By default, visible personal trades are displayed with a 5-minute delay. This ensures a basic level of privacy even if the feature isn't explicitly enabled.

By hiding personal trades and removing the trader from the leaderboard, this feature ensures your trading activities aren't subjected to public scrutiny.
