On QuantForges you can open your own trading account for others to copy. Every open, add and close in your account, whether from a strategy, a manual order or a limit order, is copied in proportion to copiers’ accounts, and you receive a share of the fees copiers pay.
Charts, order entry, positions and strategies on one screen. Trade manually, or write a coded strategy, backtest it and run it on a simulated account before going live. Copiers and revenue share are also shown here.
Connect the MT5 account you opened at a broker, manage several accounts, view fills and positions, and make an account a lead account open for copying. Pending orders and take-profit / stop-loss are executed by the broker’s server.
Both terminals use the same QuantForges account to sign in. Copying happens within one market only: Binance lead accounts are copied by Binance accounts, and MT5 lead accounts by MT5 accounts.
How to start leading
Apply to become a lead traderFill in your lead trader name, bio and region and submit; the platform reviews the application.
Connect an account and tradeOnce approved, connect your Binance or MT5 account in the matching terminal, trade as usual and build your track record.
Submit for listingWhen your track record meets the listing requirements, submit it for listing in the terminal; the platform reviews it manually.
Open for copying and earn a shareAfter listing you appear on the copy leaderboard, and the fees copiers pay are shared with you under the platform’s rules.
Listing requirements
Before listing, a lead account needs to meet all of the following:
Have been running for at least 30 days
Have completed at least 20 trades
Have experienced a drawdown of at least 5% (a track record that has never drawn down makes the max drawdown figure meaningless)
Once the requirements are met, the listing is submitted for manual review by the platform; any exception an administrator makes is recorded.
You can set a capacity cap: once copy capital is full, no new copiers are accepted, which protects execution quality for you and your existing copiers.
What you can earn
Subscription-fee model
0%
Copiers pay 0.2% of their copy capital each month, and 0% of that is yours.
Rates are set by the platform and lead traders do not set their own prices, so copiers compare performance and risk rather than price. Which model a copier pays under is decided by the copier’s region. If your own region does not allow charging a profit share, you can only be copied by copiers who pay by subscription fee.
A lead trader’s responsibilities
You are responsible for your own trading. Copiers see your real record, including drawdowns, and the platform never hides or embellishes any loss.
The platform ranks lead accounts by return ÷ max drawdown, not by return. A high-leverage gamble will not move you up the board.
Copiers have their own risk limits: position cap, leverage cap and max drawdown. If you suddenly scale up your positions, their limits may stop their copying first.
A lead account’s past performance does not indicate future returns, and leading does not constitute a promise of returns to anyone.
