BYDFi Smart Copy FAQs

Smart Copy (Proportional Mode) is an automated feature that follows a trader’s strategy proportionally based on their investment size. With this mode, you can automatically copy the trader’s order size, leverage, margin, and position management settings according to their proportional investment ratio.

This article addresses common questions about Smart Copy, helping users better understand its logic, rules, and limitations.

1. Can I switch to Smart Copy mode while following a trader?

No, direct switching is not supported. To change your copy trading mode, you must first close all active copy trades, then switch to Smart Copy mode.

2. How is the investment ratio calculated?

• Trader Investment Ratio = Single Order Cost (Margin + Opening Fee) ÷ Trader’s Wallet Balance at the time of order
• Follower’s Margin (Order Cost) = Smart Copy Investment Amount × Trader Investment Ratio

3. Why is my entry/exit price different from the trader’s?

Possible reasons:

1. The follower’s order is triggered only after the trader’s order is successfully opened, causing a potential price difference.
2. Some signal orders may fail to copy, leading to an average price mismatch.
3. Market depth and price volatility may cause different execution prices.

4. Why is the margin amount different for each order?

• Smart Copy calculates order size proportionally based on the trader’s order. If the trader invests a small amount, your copied order will also be small.
• If the calculated order amount is below the platform’s minimum order size, the order will fail (the system will not force execution at the minimum size) to maintain proportional accuracy.

Example:

• Trader wallet balance: 100,000 USDT
• Trader’s single order cost: 10 USDT → Ratio = 0.0001
• Follower investment: 50 USDT → Equivalent margin: 0.005 USDT (too small to open a position → order fails)

5. Where does my investment or profit share go after withdrawal?

When you withdraw investment, stop following, or receive profit sharing, the funds are transferred to your Copy Wallet. You can view the transaction details in the “Transaction History” section of the trading page.

6. Why didn’t my position close when the trader partially closed theirs?

The system closes your positions proportionally to the trader’s closing signals. Any unmatched positions will remain open.

7. Why is my leverage or margin not synced with the trader’s?

The system will automatically synchronize changes in leverage and margin. If synchronization fails due to insufficient balance, an in-app message and email will notify you. You can manually add margin to allow the system to reattempt synchronization.

8. Why can’t I see Smart Copy transactions in the main trading page?

• Diverse Follow Copy Trading: Uses a shared wallet, transaction history is viewable in the main trading page.
• Smart Copy : Creates a separate sub-wallet for each trader followed. Transaction history can only be viewed in that trader’s detail page.

9. Why can’t I see copy trading orders in the “Current Positions” section on the trading page?

The “Current Positions” section does not display any copy trading positions because this mode allows you to follow multiple traders on the same trading pair, and the system manages each trader’s positions independently. Please visit the Copy Trading Center → My Copy Trades to view related orders.
