When your balance can't fund a copy, that trade is skipped, and your copy keeps following the trader. You never have to resume anything by hand.
How It Works
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1 | A trader you follow makes a trade |
| 2 | Your balance is too low to copy it → the trade is skipped and you get a notice (at most one every 6 hours) |
| 3 | After 5 skips in a row with that trader, the copy shows Needs funds |
| 4 | Funds arrive: a deposit, a sale or a payout from a resolved market |
| 5 | Copying resumes on its own, and the next trade executes normally |
Money in open positions can't fund new copies. When a position is sold or pays out, that cash counts again.
What About Pausing?
| Status | Buys | Sells (trader exits) |
|---|---|---|
| Copying | ✅ | ✅ |
| Needs funds | ❌ | ✅ |
| Paused by you | ❌ | ❌ |
| Paused by stop loss or take profit | ❌ | ❌ |
A copy waiting for funds still follows the trader out of the positions it holds. A copy you pause, or one paused by a stop loss or take profit, copies nothing until you resume it.
Pro Tips
- Keep a buffer. Have 20-30% more than your max trade size to avoid skipped trades
- Deposit anytime. Copies waiting for funds pick up again on their own
- Check notifications. We tell you when a trade is skipped and when a copy is waiting for funds
