Copy trading, made simple

Copy leading traders from around the world, in real time, straight into your own MT5 account.

Start copy trading

 

What is copy trading?

Copy trading lets you mirror the trades of experienced traders as they make them. You choose who to follow; when they open or close a position, the same happens in your own account, sized to your balance and your risk settings. You may also hear it called social trading.

Copy trading is available to ADSS clients in partnership with Pelican Exchange Ltd.*

 

  • You don’t hand over your money. Funds stay in your own ADSS account, with no managed fund.
  • You set the rules. Decide how much to allocate and the risk level that suits you.
  • You can stop any time. Pause, adjust or unfollow a trader whenever you like.

Say goodbye to management and volume fees

Enjoy a crystal-clear pricing model built entirely around your trading success. 

No subscription or sign-up fees

Start copying seasoned traders completely free. You only pay a performance fee when your selected signal provider generates an actual profit for your account.

Only pay on new profit peaks

Fees are only charged when your copy trading account makes fresh gains. If your balance drops from $1,000 to $900 and then climbs back to $1,000, you pay $0 during the recovery. You only pay again when you cross $1,001.

Zero management or volume fees

Unlike other platforms that drain your capital with hidden management and volume charges, we keep it simple. You pay just one success-based fee plus standard trading spreads.

Frequently asked

Why do I need an MT5 account before I can copy trade?

Copy trading places trades into your own ADSS MT5 account. That’s the account doing the actual trading, so it has to be opened first. You set up your MT5 account and copy trading together in one guided flow, and the onboarding video walks you through it.

Which platforms does copy trading work on?

Copy trading works on MetaTrader 5 (MT5). You’ll need an ADSS MT5 account, then you copy trades through the ADSS copytrading app, available on iOS and Android.

Who is Pelican?

Pelican Exchange Ltd provides the copy trading technology. Copy trading is available to ADSS clients in partnership with Pelican. You open your trading account with ADSS, and Pelican powers the copying.

Is copy trading the same as social trading?

They’re closely related. Social trading is the broader idea of following and learning from other traders; copy trading is the part where their trades are mirrored into your account. People often use the two terms to mean the same thing.

Does ADSS choose the trades for me?

No. You choose which traders to follow, and their positions are mirrored into your account as they trade. ADSS provides the trading account and does not give advice or manage your trades.

Can I stop copying whenever I want?

Yes. You can pause, adjust your allocation, or stop following a trader at any time. You stay in control of your account throughout.

Is there a swap-free (Islamic) option?

ADSS offers swap-free account options for eligible clients. Check the latest terms when you open your account.

What does it cost?

You trade on ADSS’s standard pricing (spreads and any applicable fees). Any copy trading charges are shown to you before you start. Always review the current fee schedule before trading.

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
