Social Trading
Join FP Markets Social Trading: a thriving global community of traders who can follow and copy the strategies of seasoned investors or who publish their trading and earn fees for sharing their expertise and getting copied.
What is Social Trading?
Social Trading – one of the most innovative developments in fintech – is a simplified way to navigate the global markets if you do not have the time, knowledge or experience. It also provides seasoned investors with a way to monetise their expertise by allowing others to copy their trades.
With Social Trading, traders of all experience levels can browse, follow, and automatically copy the strategies of top-performing traders, without the need to formulate their own investment plan. Meanwhile, professional traders can share their trading activity, grow their online following, and get copied to earn a performance fee which they set themselves.
How to start Social Trading
Step 1
Open an account
Open a trading account, deposit using one of our many funding options, and start copy trading via the MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms.
Step 2
Choose the best traders to follow
Browse, discover, and follow the traders with the best outcomes. Consult the Ratings page which ranks Providers based on their profitability over a given period of time, including their full trading history and past performance.
Step 3
Copy trading options
One of the many benefits of our Social Trading platform is functionality. We offer multiple copy trading modes with no limit on the number of Providers you can copy. Try copying multiple Providers that use different trading systems and find out which best suits you.
Step 4
Stay in control
Even though you are replicating the trading behaviour of others, you retain control of your strategy. You can activate and deactivate copy trading at any time. Simply use the risk management options built into MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, including stop loss and take profit orders.
Step 1
Open an account
To become a Provider, you must first have an active FP Markets live trading account. If you don’t have one already, open a live account and deposit using one of our funding options.
Step 2
Register as a Provider
From your secure Client Portal, select Social Trading and register as a Provider using your MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 credentials.
Step 3
Create & publish your offer
Create an offer, give it a name, select a performance fee, and choose an interval at which it will be charged. Publish your offer and get found within the Social Trading community.
Step 4
Monitor your account
Log in to the Social Trading portal to monitor your Provider account. Here, you will be able to view the status of your offer, Follower details, and track your earned performance fees.

What to know before you start Social Trading
Trading experience
Social Trading offers individuals interested in trading but who lack the experience and know-how a gateway to the global markets. However, it is vital to remember that all forms of trading involve risk. Social traders are therefore encouraged to actively educate themselves on market volatility and learn to identify high-risk trading.
Risk management
Copying the trading strategies of experienced traders does not eliminate risk. Social traders still depend on other people’s decisions but remain fully responsible for potential losses in their brokerage account. Regardless of trade automation, it is highly recommended that traders learn and understand how to manage risk.
Portfolio diversification
Social Trading enables traders to diversify their portfolios by copying multiple Providers, with each specialising in different instruments. This way, social traders spread their risk. For example, you may allocate a portion of your capital to a Provider’s Bitcoin strategy, and another to one focusing on Forex.
Social Trading vs Copy Trading
Although often used interchangeably, Social Trading and copy trading are not one and the same. Copy trading refers to the process of binding your account with that of another trader in order to replicate the trades they execute. On the other hand, Social Trading is a broader term, which includes the community aspect of trading as well as ways by which you can control how you copy other traders’ trading behaviour. With FP Markets’ Social Trading, you can modify how you mirror the behaviour of your selected Providers, while trading still remains automated.

Social Trading on MT4 & MT5
What is Social Trading?
Social trading involves the process of learning from the trading behaviour and strategies of experienced traders and analysing their performance using a wide range of statistical data. Social traders have the option of automatically replicating the trading behaviour of other traders through a copy trading platform. Social trading helps inexperienced traders become familiar with new concepts such as derivatives trading and leverage.
What is the difference between a Follower and Provider?
A Provider is the person whose trading behaviour can be copied. Providers tend to be experienced traders who voluntarily give you the opportunity to copy their trades in exchange for a performance fee. A Follower follows a Provider using a copy trading system that automatically replicates the latter’s trading activity.
What is the best Social Trading platform?
VTIFX’ Social Trading on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 allows you to become a part of a community that shares its performance. The copying system allows traders to choose from a variety of copying modes while the ratings module provides detailed performance statistics. The design of the interface is informative courtesy of transparent dynamic charts and tables.
