For strategies, strategy providers can choose to archive a strategy if they no longer wish to keep it available for copying. Archiving makes the strategy view-only for both the provider and investors, and permanently disables new investments.

What happens when a strategy is archived?

For new investors:

• The strategy becomes unavailable for investment.
• It is removed from the Copy Trading app and website.

For current investors:

• All active investments in the strategy are closed.
• Investors receive an email notification informing them of the closure if the strategy was archived due to stop out.
• Archived strategies appear in their investment history only.
• The respective strategy will be available for viewing only. New investments cannot be placed.
• Closed investments will display the date and reason for closure due to archiving.

For strategy providers:

• All active investments and orders will be closed accordingly when the market for them is open.
• The strategy's trading account remains active, but trading will not affect the strategy statistics or the trading reliability level. 
• Performance fees are calculated and credited at the end of the billing period.
• Strategy statistics are updated and viewable in the Fee Report. Statistics will stop after the archive date. 
• The strategy becomes view-only.

Archived strategies cannot be restored.

• If a stop-out occurs, the strategy is archived immediately.
  • The strategy provider is notified and the investors will receive an email notification that the strategy is archived due to a stop-out. The stop-out date will be displayed on the strategy's return chart.
