For the investor, maintaining successful copied trades includes having the knowledge of tools, metrics, and strategies available. Similarly, a strategy provider who aims to have their trades copied must have an understanding of what investors look for in strategies.
The strategy page is where an investor can learn more about a particular strategy and the provider of that strategy, and where a strategy provider can showcase their unique strategy in-depth to potential investors.
Open a strategy page:
- Log into the Social Trading app.
- Scroll through the available strategies presented or filter these strategies based on return and your preferred filters.
- Select a strategy.
Let’s take a deeper look into the tools, metrics, and other details presented on the strategy page:

Overview tab
This tab details a few important elements that an investor would need to consider before investing.
Return
Return measures the change of equity seen in a specific strategy. It is updated with statistics that calculate the change in a strategy’s equity from the beginning to the end of a specified period of time.
Note: The Return is updated roughly once every 20 minutes for Strategies with Social Standard and Social Pro accounts and once every hour for Pro accounts.
The best way to view the return over a certain period of time is to look at the Return graph. The Return graph shows the cumulative return over time. The percentage of profit or loss in an account's balance is shown for a certain period. This graph provides a transparent way to see how an investor’s strategies have performed historically.
Risk Score
The risk score reflects the level of risk taken by the strategy provider. The higher the score, the greater the risk and chance of making a profit, or a loss more rapidly.
The risk scores are as follows:
- Moderate risk: 1-5
- High risk: 6-8
- Extra High risk: 9-10
Note: Risk score is not available for Pro accounts.
Details
Other important information to note is shown here such as the Performance fee, minimum amount of investment, account type, number of current investors, leverage, and strategy equity in USD.
Trading Reliability Level (TRL)
The TRL represents how well strategy providers manage their trading risks. The higher the level the more reliable the trading performance of that strategy provider has been.
Here’s how the breakdown of the levels:
- 0-40: Low score
- 41-70: Medium score
- 71-100: High score
This section is written by the strategy provider. It gives additional insight into the strategy, including the strategy provider’s trading style. When a strategy was created can also be viewed here.
