How to Start Copy Trading on XM

Step 1: Open Your XM Trading Account

Step 2: Fund Your Account

Deposit funds to allocate for copy trading. We recommend starting with at least $500 for proper risk management.

Step 3: Choose Traders to Copy

Browse the XM trader rankings and select traders based on:

Historical performance and consistency
Risk level and drawdown statistics
Trading style and strategy
Number of followers and reputation
Asset preferences (forex, commodities, indices)

Step 4: Allocate Your Capital

Decide how much to allocate to each trader. Never allocate more than 20-30% to a single trader for proper diversification.

Step 5: Monitor and Adjust

Regularly review performance and adjust your copy trading portfolio as needed.

XM Copy Trading Best Practices

1. Diversify Your Portfolio

Copy multiple traders with different strategies to reduce risk. Combine scalpers, swing traders, and long-term investors.

2. Start Small

Begin with smaller allocations to test traders before committing larger amounts.

3. Check Historical Performance

Look for consistent returns over at least 6-12 months, not just recent hot streaks.

4. Understand Risk Levels

Match the trader's risk level to your own risk tolerance. Conservative traders for stability, aggressive for growth.

5. Set Stop-Loss Limits

Protect your capital by setting maximum loss limits for each trader you copy.

Common Copy Trading Mistakes to Avoid

Copying too many traders at once
Chasing high returns without considering risk
Not diversifying across trading styles
Insufficient capital for proper position sizing
Stopping too early during normal drawdowns
