When your trader exits, you exit with them immediately - even if it means taking a small loss. Speed matters more than waiting for profit.


Copytrade Sells

When a trader you follow sells:

  1. Instant detection - We see the sell within milliseconds
  2. Immediate execution - Your sell is placed right away
  3. Slippage protection - Limit price at trader's price minus 7% (minimum 2¢ floor)
  4. IOC order - Fills what's available instantly, cancels the rest

You follow your trader exactly - if they exit, you exit. No second-guessing.


Manual Sells

When you click "Sell Position":

  1. Best bid pricing - We fetch the current best bid
  2. Immediate execution - Limit order at best bid for guaranteed fill
  3. No slippage buffer - You get exactly market price
  4. Fast confirmation - Usually fills within seconds

Manual sells prioritize speed over price protection - you want out, we get you out.
