Why is it recommended that the minimum funds for copy trading be at least $100? There's a reason behind this.
First, a strict rule—the exchange contracts all have a minimum opening limit (check the specific numbers in the rules). If you only invest $50, many signals might be inaccessible because transactions below the minimum are invalid. With $100, you can open a position of about $6 each time, which generally covers most operations.
More importantly: I am currently using a fixed amount mode, not a fixed ratio. What does that mean? It means each opening amount is fixed, so your $100 account can almost synchronize with my position— even accounting for slippage and errors, the entry price won't deviate too much. This approach minimizes external interference and is the first line of defense in controlling losses. If you set according to this standard and follow my signals, the probability of a total loss is very low.
Of course, some people want to pursue high risk and high reward with a more aggressive fixed ratio? For example, a fixed amount of $10 aiming for a higher win rate? Theoretically, that's feasible. But you need to withstand continuous position adjustments— at least 50 cycles of volatility. A $10 fixed amount means your account should have at least $500 as a base. Otherwise, if the funds break, the game is over.
These algorithms are essentially elementary math—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—just do the calculations in your head. All I can do is point out the pitfalls in advance. How you allocate funds and your risk exposure are your own decisions. The money is in your hands, and I’ve explained the rules clearly. Whether you accept this advice is up to you.

I went through it, and it's basically the same old risk management stuff, nothing new. The key is to have enough principal to cushion the blow; otherwise, a single drawdown can wipe you out, and there's no point in talking about copying trades.

Requiring a 100u threshold sounds quite reasonable, just worried that small accounts might fall behind the pace and get trapped.

Honestly, I never thought about the difference between 50u and 100u before. Now I understand where the trap is.

Starting from 100u, the threshold is explained thoroughly, but to be honest, the biggest fear when copying trades is still a mental breakdown.
