copy trade
Cap the stop loss and take profit you inherit from the provider
Limit how far a copied stop loss or take profit may sit from entry.
- Step 1
Sign in
Signing in opens the panel.
- Step 2
Open Copy Trade
In the panel menu, under Trading tools, tap Copy Trade. Your bot list opens.
- Step 3
Open the bot
Under My bots, tap the bot you want to cap. Its page opens.
- Step 4
Open the settings form
In the Risk rules section, press Edit settings. The settings form opens.
- Step 5
Find the last two fields
Scroll to the end of that section; Maximum stop-loss distance from entry (%) and Maximum take-profit distance from entry (%) are the last two fields of Risk rules.
- Step 6
Cap the stop loss
Type a percentage above 0 and at most 100. A provider stop further out than your number is pulled in to that cap, and a nearer one is left untouched. Each level of a ladder is capped on its own, and levels pulled to the same price close together.
Example
2.5 - Step 7
Cap the take profit
The second field works exactly the same way; the line printed under these fields says so too.
- Step 8
Leave a side uncapped
An empty field means no cap on that side.

- Step 9
Save
Press Save.
Result
You return to the bot page, and from now on every copied trade executes inside your own limits. The bot page does not print these two caps — reopen Edit settings to see them.
