How RoboForex CopyFX Works: A Step-by-Step Guide

CopyFX is RoboForex's copy-trading platform: it lets you browse a rated list of strategy providers and automatically mirror their trades to your own live account, in proportion to how much capital you allocate. Here's what the process actually involves, end to end.

1. Open a RoboForex Account

You register a RoboForex trading account — the same type of account you'd use for manual trading — and complete their standard verification. This account is yours: you control funding, withdrawals, and can trade it manually at any time you're not actively copying a strategy.

2. Fund the Account

Deposit your starting capital via bank transfer, card, or e-wallet, depending on what RoboForex supports in your region. Each strategy provider on CopyFX lists a minimum account size required to copy their trades correctly — copying with less than the minimum can distort position sizing, since trades are scaled proportionally to your balance relative to the provider's.

3. Open the CopyFX Section

Inside the RoboForex dashboard, the CopyFX tab shows the rated list of available strategy providers, each with its own track record, drawdown history, and fee structure — typically visible before you commit any capital to it.

4. Select a Provider and Set Your Allocation

Once you've reviewed a provider's verified performance (ideally cross-checked against an independent source like Myfxbook), you choose how much of your account balance to allocate to copying them. From that point forward, every new trade the provider opens is mirrored to your account automatically, scaled to your allocation.

How Trades Are Mirrored

When the provider opens a position, CopyFX opens a proportionally sized position on your account at essentially the same time. When they close it, adjust the stop-loss, or take partial profit, your account mirrors that action too. You are not manually placing any of these trades — the platform automates the replication based on the allocation you set.

Fees and Payouts

CopyFX providers typically charge a performance fee — a percentage of the profit generated for you, rather than a flat fee regardless of outcome. A common structure charges this fee only on new equity highs (a "high-water mark"), meaning you don't pay a performance fee twice on the same gains if the account dips and then recovers to a previous peak.

Staying in Control

Copying is not a lock-up. You can pause or stop copying a provider at any time, and withdraw your funds independently of what the strategy is currently doing — the account remains yours throughout.
