Copy Trading Software Development for Leaders and Followers
We build copy engines for MT5, crypto APIs, and custom OMS—handling proportional sizing, max lag rejects, symbol mapping, and audit trails brokers need for compliance.
Trade copiers break at scale
Excel copiers and open-source plugins fail on partial fills, symbol suffix mismatches, and 500 followers hitting rate limits. Liability grows when copies drift from master P&L.
- ×Fixed lot copy ignores follower equity differences.
- ×Delayed copies chase price—followers enter worse fills.
- ×No pause when master spikes drawdown beyond follower tolerance.
- ×Missing audit log for regulatory or dispute resolution.
Enterprise copy trading architecture
Event-driven master feed, follower workers with isolated queues, configurable scaling modes, and reconciliation dashboards.
- Proportional, fixed lot, and risk-parity scaling modes.
- Max slippage and max delay rejects protect followers.
- White-label admin for KYC tiers and performance fees.
- API hooks for CRM and payment providers.
