Dear BingX users,
To provide quality service and improve users' Copy Trading experience, BingX will upgrade its Copy Trading function along with the launch of the "Copy Trade from External Platform" Feature during Nov 15- Nov 20 (UTC+8). The specific launch time is based on the actual release time of the BingX App V2.42.0 in App Store. Please stay tuned for the update. Looking forward to this can bring you a better trading experience!
- What Is "Copy Trade from External Platform"?
"Copy Trade from External Platform'' is a new Copy Trade service provided by BingX, which allows traders from major platforms to share trades in BingX by accessing read-only API, i.e. community users can enjoy the one-stop investment services of quality traders from major platforms. Currently, BingX already includes the API access service for Binance traders. The service will be extended to more global quality trading platforms in the future.
- Why We Launch "Copy Trade from External Platform"?
- Quality traders are selected worldwide. The platform will review the copy trader's assets and long-term historical data to ensure a high quality of copy traders.
- Fund investment ordering algorithm is adopted. To maintain the risk consistency between copy traders and their followers.
- How Does "Copy Trade from External Platform" Work?
Example:
If the net asset value of copy trader A's USDT-Margined Futures Account in Binance is 10,000 USDT and the price of ETH is 4,000 USDT. At this moment copy trader A uses 200 USDT as margin to Long 1 ETH. Then the order leverage is 20X ( 200 USDT * 20X = 4,000 USDT), and the real leverage of copy trader A’s position is 0.4X ( 4,000 USDT/10,000 USDT = 0.4X).
User B follows copy trader A’s trades from Binance on BingX. The Copy Trade Funds of user B is 1,000 USDT. Then the system will open a market order automatically as [ Long 0.1 ETH with 0.4X Leverage in Cross Margin mode] for user B ( 1,000 USDT * 0.4X = 400 USDT = 0.1 ETH).
For more details, please stay tuned for the upcoming product updates during Nov 15- Nov 20 (UTC+8).

FAQ
Q1. When will the Copy Trade of my account start after I follow a Copy Trader who trades via Binance API?
(1) After following/copying a trader, if the trader has already-opened positions in his/her account, the system will not follow the trader's order signal and place orders immediately, since the opening price will deviate too much from the trader's order's. Followers/ Users can only start Copy Trade when the copy trader closes the already opened position and opens a new one.
(2) After following/copying a trader, if the trader does not have any position in his/her account, the system will automatically follow his/her order signal and place orders for you when the trader opens a new position.
Q2. Can users edit the Copy Trade details when following a Copy Trader who trades via Binance API?
In order to ensure the consistency of PnL with the trader's account, and the orders regarding "Copy Trade from External Platform" are actually filled in Binance, Copy Trade detail editing is not supported at the moment.
Q3. What will happen to my Copy Trade account if the trader I follow deposits or withdraws in his USDT-Margined Futures account on Binance?
(1) If the trader makes a deposit, an equal percentage of position reduction will be made to the follower's Copy Trade account to ensure that the real leverage of the follower's Copy Trade account is the same as the real leverage of the trader's account.
(2) if the trader makes a withdrawal, the Net Asset Value of Copy Trader’s Share Trade Account becomes smaller, while the risk of forced liquidation is higher than the follower's/ user’s Copy Trade Account. Therefore, no changes will be made to the position of the follower's/ user’s Copy Trade Account.
Q4. If I increase or decrease the Copy Trade funds, what will happen to my Copy Trade account?
(1) If you (as a follower) increase the Copy Trade funds when there are opened positions in your Copy Trade account, the added funds will not be used as margin to open positions immediately since if including the added funds as margin immediately, it will lead to inconsistency in opening price of the trader's order and the follower's order. Only when the trader closes all opened positions and starts a new trade, then the increased amount of Copy Trade Funds will be included as Margin for trading.
(2) After a user starts "Copy Trade from External Platform", it is not available to reduce the invested Copy Trade Funds. If you want to reduce the amount, you can stop following/copying the trader and reset details to copy/follow the trader again.
Q5. Are BUSD Perpetual Contracts and USDT Delivery Contracts supported with this "Copy Trade from External Platform" feature?
Only USDT Perpetual Contracts are supported currently. If a copy trader trades BUSD Perpetual Contracts or USDT Delivery Contracts, no orders will be placed in users'/ followers' Copy Trade Account.
