To stop copying a strategy:
- Log in to your Social Trading app.
- Under Copying Strategies, select an active strategy to stop copying.
- Tap Stop Copying.
- Confirm the action by tapping Stop Copying once more.
Once stopped, the copying period will be displayed including the date and time.
Possible scenarios when you stop copying a strategy:
- If an investment has any open orders: the copying action will stop and open orders will be closed by the current market prices.
- If an investment has no open orders: the copying action will stop.
Note: If you are choosing to stop copying when the market is closed (for example, during the weekend) or during daily break, there can be two possible outcomes:
- If there are more than 3 hours until the market reopens, the investment will be stopped at the last market price.
- If there are less than 3 hours until the market reopens for these instruments, or if any of the instruments is on daily break and the break is less than 3 hours before the market reopens, the investment will not be stopped and there will be an error notification. You can stop copying after the market reopens.
Auto-stop of Investments
If a strategy’s equity drops to 0, a strategy will experience a stop out. When this happens, the strategy will remain active, allowing the strategy provider to deposit more funds to continue trading. In this case, the equity of existing investments in the strategy and the copying coefficient will drop to 0.
If a strategy provider makes a deposit and later trades, the investments will continue to reflect a 0 copy coefficient with 0 volume.
To avoid investments with 0 volume and 0 copy coefficient, a strategy that has experienced a stop out will automatically close these investments within 7 days of the stop out. This automatic process is designed to better reflect the true number of active investors in a strategy.
