How to Set Up Copy Trading: Risk Parameters
Choosing the right trader is step one. Setting correct parameters is step two. Get this wrong and you will either copy too much risk or leave gains on the table.
Allocate your capital
Go to "Copy Trading" → Select trader → "Copy Strategy". You will see:
- Current balance: Your account balance
- Amount to copy: How much you are allocating to this trader
Rule: Never copy more than 50% of your account to one trader. Diversify or stay liquid.
Set your risk tolerance
TAG Markets gives you 24x leverage. A 5% drawdown on your deposit liquidates your account (complete loss).
The trader manages risk by taking only 0.01-0.02% per trade. Your job is to allocate the right amount so you can stomach the ups and downs.
Example: $100 allocation x 0.02% = $0.02 per trade. You can comfortably afford 50+ losing trades before drawdown hits.
Confirm and start copying
Review all settings. Click "Confirm" or "Start Copying". The trader network trade will copy to your account automatically.
Monitor (do not obsess)
Check your account 1-2 times per week. Watch for unusual activity. But do not check every hour—that breeds emotional decisions.
Frequently asked questions
How much should I allocate?
Start small: $10-50. Only increase if comfortable after 4 weeks.
Can I adjust allocation later?
Yes. Increase or stop copying anytime.
What is a safe drawdown?
< 5% is comfortable. > 10% means reconsider the trader.
