Crypto copy trading on Flipster: how it works, what it costs and what can go wrong

Flipster’s terms describe copy trading as “a user-directed automated execution tool”. You direct it once, by choosing a Master Trader and the funds to allocate. From then on it acts without asking you, and Flipster exercises no discretion over what is traded. One copied trade passes through four steps.

1. The Master Trader trades. A Master Trader opens or closes a position in their own account.

2. The trade is replicated pro rata. The tool places the matching order for you, scaled to your account, without your approval of that trade.

3. The position sits in your account. It is opened in your own account and backed by your own margin. Your assets are not pooled with anyone else’s.

4. Charges are applied. Flipster may charge a profit share and other fees at the Fee Rate that applies to the Master Trader.

Choosing a Master Trader

The choice of Master Trader is yours alone. Flipster’s home page says each Master Trader’s performance is shown as P&L, ROI, win rate and trade history. The terms add that such metrics may be delayed or inaccurate.

Flipster gives no investment advice and makes no assessment of whether a Master Trader suits you. Before you compare records, check the definitions of margin, ROI and drawdown, and look at how a record was produced as well as where it ended.

What is copied, and when

While you are copying, each trade the Master Trader opens or closes is replicated in your account on a pro rata basis, with no prior approval from you. Pro rata means in proportion: the copy is scaled to your account, not repeated at the Master Trader’s size.

Copy trading futures means holding leveraged positions. Read about the perpetual futures that copied trades use before you start.

The terms set two limits. Copy orders are not placed when your account has no funds. If a product is restricted for you, the trade may be replaced with a similar one, with no assurance that its risk and performance match.

Stopping or changing a copy

You can stop copying a Master Trader at any time under the terms. Stopping ends the replication of new trades. It does not reverse a loss that has already been made.

How copied positions that are still open are handled when you stop, and how the amount allocated is changed, is not described on any server-rendered page. Check both in the app before you start, and read the summary of the terms that apply.

You

Your assets stay in your own Flipster account. You decide whom to copy and how much to allocate, and you can stop at any time.

You also carry every loss, including a loss larger than the amount you allocated.

Master Trader

The Master Trader decides which trades are made and when, in their own account.

No Master Trader has custody of, or control over, your account. Your assets are not pooled with theirs or with those of other users.

Separate accounts are a fact about custody, not about risk. The terms are just as clear on what copy trading is not: it is not portfolio management, Flipster owes you no fiduciary duty, and nobody assesses whether a Master Trader’s strategy suits you.

The decision to copy, the amount and the timing are yours. That is what “user-directed” means, and it is why the outcome is yours as well.

Copy trading has two layers of cost. The first belongs to the service. The terms allow Flipster to charge profit sharing, service fees, fee commissions or other fees at the Fee Rate applicable to the Master Trader you copy. Fee Rates can change at any time, and displayed rates are indicative.

The profit-share percentage and the settlement cycle are not printed here, because no server-rendered Flipster page states them. Read the Fee Rate shown for a Master Trader before you copy, and treat it as a figure that can move.

The second layer is the cost of the trades themselves. A copied position is a position in your own account, so the trading fees charged on copied positions follow the fee schedule: 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker at the entry tier, VIP0. A position held through a funding timestamp also exchanges funding. The guide explains funding costs on open positions.

A profit share comes on top of trading fees and funding. It does not replace them.

The live copy trading page says, in its meta description, that strategies are copied “with risk controls”. Its body has no server-rendered text, so the controls are not documented where a reader can check them before signing up.

What the terms establish is narrower. You choose the Master Trader, you choose the funds to allocate, and you can stop at any time.

The allocation is not a cap on losses: the terms say losses can exceed it. Three further settings appear only in the application’s interface text. They are listed as open items and not described, because their rules could not be read.

Losses beyond the amount allocated

The amount you allocate is not a ceiling on what you can lose. The terms warn of “significant financial losses, including losses exceeding the funds initially allocated to copying a Master Trader”.

Flipster’s Derivatives Trading Terms call derivatives “leveraged products which are complex and may not be suitable for inexperienced investors”. The guide shows how copied positions can be liquidated.

Past performance

A Master Trader’s record is history. The terms say historical results and metrics “do not guarantee future outcomes”, and that rankings and metrics may be delayed or inaccurate.

A record also leaves out the costs, the timing and the size limits that will apply to your own copy.

Automated execution without your approval

Trades are opened and closed in your account without your approval of each one, including while you are not watching. Flipster exercises no discretion, so nobody steps in when a trade looks unwise.

Copying is not investment advice. Nobody has checked that the strategy fits your circumstances.

Copying replaces your trading decisions with someone else’s. It does not replace the risk, and it adds a layer of cost. The table sets the two approaches side by side, weak points included.

If you trade yourself, you pick the market, the size and the exit, from crypto contracts to TradFi perpetual markets. To learn the mechanics before you choose, start with the trading guides in Flipster Learn.

Copy trading is provided by Flipster Corp under its Copy Trading Specific Terms, and only where Flipster permits it. The live home page tells users that eligibility varies by jurisdiction and to check their country status before registering.

Availability can also differ trade by trade. If a product a Master Trader uses is restricted for you, the terms allow it to be replaced with a similar trade.
