What is Copy-Trade?
Copy trading is an investment method that lets you automatically follow the trades of professional investors, allowing your capital to grow without market tracking or prior experience. It's widely used in Forex markets for currency pairs or other assets like gold.
The concept is straightforward: you aim to predict whether an asset or currency pair will go up or down in value. For example, if you buy gold and price rises, you make a profit. Likewise, if you sell gold and the price falls, you also gain.
Every trade—whether buy or sell—is essentially a forecast of market movement. The more accurate the forecast, the greater the potential return.
Doing this on your own demands:
Consistent market monitoring
In-depth financial knowledge and trading experience
Skills in technical analysis
Time, patience, and discipline
Copy trading takes these tasks off your plate. You simply choose a skilled trader to follow. On regulated, secure platforms, your account automatically replicates their trades in real time, delivering the same outcomes they achieve.
No expertise required
No decision-making needed
Just select a trader, track performance, and build passive income
Is This Safe?
Like any form of investing, copy trading carries risks. There are no guaranteed returns, and a trader's past success does not promise future gains.
We work only with trusted, fully regulated platforms that have been in the industry for over two decades and hold licenses from respected financial authorities.
What this means for you:
Your funds stay in your own account — they are never handed over to a third party.
Platforms are monitored and regulated by official financial bodies.
Built-in risk management tools let you set your own limits, including:
Stop-loss: the maximum loss you are willing to accept
Automatic stop-copy: halts copying if your set threshold is exceeded
With these safeguards, you stay in control of your risk level based on your goals and comfort zone.
Copy trading isn't about blindly following someone else's moves — it's a strategic investment approach with protective features when used wisely.
What is Lot Size , Ratio Correction and Scale Down?
What is Lot Size?
Lot Size represents the volume of a trade — essentially, how "big" or "powerful" that trade is. The bigger the Lot Size, the more strongly market movements will impact your profit or loss.
For example:
If the market moves in your favor, a larger Lot Size means greater gains.
If the market moves against you, that same Lot Size will also magnify your losses.
In numbers:
0.01 Lot ≈ $0.10 per pip (a pip is a standard unit of market movement)
0.10 Lot ≈ $1 per pip
1.00 Lot ≈ $10 per pip
So, if you trade 0.10 Lot and the market rises 20 pips in your favor, you'd earn about $20. If it drops 20 pips, you'd lose about $20.
In Copy Trading, the platform adjusts Lot Size automatically based on your account balance. For instance, if a trader with $1,000 opens 0.10 Lot, and you have $2,000, your account might open 0.20 Lot — keeping your results proportional to theirs.
What is Ratio Correction (or Maximum Lot Control)?
Ratio Correction lets you set the maximum Lot Size that can be opened in your account.
Example:
If the trader opens 0.80 Lot, but your maximum is set to 0.50, the system will automatically reduce it to 0.50 to protect your capital.
This feature keeps your risk exposure within limits you're comfortable with.
What is Scale Down vs. ?
When you set a maximum Lot Size (e.g., 0.50), you can choose how the system reacts if the trader tries to open something larger:
Scale Down:
The trade is still executed, but reduced to your maximum allowed size.
Think of it like the system saying, "I'll follow the trade, but with lower risk."
In short:
Lot Size = how big a trade is.
Ratio Correction = your risk ceiling.
Scale Down = follow with reduced size.
How you should do?
Please set the copy settings as follows: "Trade Size: Proportional by Balance" and "Proportion: 1".
This way , your account will match our strategy.
What is the minimum amount required to start?
Typically , the minimum starts at $500.
What to trade?
For now , we only trade on Gold/Usd.
What about losses?
Remember that ; losses are a part of profits. During the process , there will inevitably be positions that need to be closed at a loss. Afterwards , we will be monitoring suitable opportunities to tolerate the relevant loss.
Can I stop or Withdraw my money whenever I want?
Yes — you remain in full control of your funds at all times.
Copy Trading is completely flexible, meaning you can:
Stop following gildex whenever you choose.
Withdraw your money , partially or in full , whenever you like.
Your capital is always kept in an account registered in your name, on secure, regulated platforms. No one else can access or manage it on your behalf.
There are no hidden restrictions, lock-in periods, or withdrawal traps.
You decide when to start, when to stop, and how to use your money , 100% on your terms.
Please note that; if there is a loss in the account that has not yet been recovered, we recommend that you do not stop copying and do not withdraw money from the account until the loss is recovered, so that your account does not move away from the main strategy.
How to Manage Your Trading Capital Effectively?
Please set the copy settings as follows: "Trade Size: Proportional by Balance" and "Proportion: 1".
When you first start using the system, we suggest making more frequent profit withdrawals to secure your initial capital. Once you have fully secured your starting balance, it's advisable to keep more of your profits in the system to compound your earnings, while making fewer withdrawals.
For example:
Let's say you begin copying trades with a capital of $10,000. As profits accumulate over time, you can withdraw them regularly to keep your trading account balance stable at around $10,000. Once your backup fund also reaches $10,000, allowing your trading balance to grow will help your profits increase exponentially.
What are the fees?
There is no subscriptions , commitments or hidden fees. You start and stop at your own discretion , with complete freedom.
We charge you through the system percentage of the profits you earn , and only you are profitable. This percentage %50 of your net profits and automatically handled by the platform daily , you don't need to do anything.
If your account is at loss , nothing is deducted. We won't receive any payments until we bring you back to profitability and cover any previous loses. Only when you are genuinely in profit does the performance fee apply.
In simple terms;
You profit and we profit along you.
