RockGlobal Trading Contest Copy Trading Risk Disclosure

Copy Trading Risk Disclosure & Disclaimer

Before using Copy Trading as part of the Trading Contest, please make sure you understand the Signal Provider settings, Follower account risk controls, and the platform's disclaimer. This page is intended to help you make an informed risk assessment and does not constitute investment advice.

Equity Drawdown Control Level 700 / 1,000 USD

Copy trading results may deviate from the Signal Provider due to slippage, minimum trade size, market gaps, or insufficient liquidity.

Before Using Copy Trading, Understand These Four Risks

Copy trading is a decision you make independently. Before the full setup instructions and disclaimer below, here are the risks most often overlooked.

!

No Profit Guarantee

Past returns, leaderboard rankings, and Signal Provider profiles do not indicate future results and are not a guarantee of profit.

!

Risk of Capital Loss

OTC derivatives and leveraged trading carry high risk and may result in partial or total loss of your capital.

!

Copy Trading May Deviate

Minimum trade size, equity-ratio conversion, slippage, and execution differences may cause your position and results to differ from the Signal Provider's.

!

Risk Controls Are Not Insurance

When a full close-out is triggered, orders are executed at prevailing market prices. Sharp volatility or price gaps may cause the final result to differ from your preset risk control level.

Signal Provider Account Setup

When a contest account opens itself up for copy trading, Followers need to clearly understand the Signal Provider's display name, account size, strategy characteristics, and profit-share settings.

01

Display Name

When a contest account becomes a Signal Provider, it must submit a display name. The name must be at least 6 characters long; if it doesn't meet this requirement, adjust it promptly under "My Signal Provider Settings" in the copy trading community so Followers can identify and distinguish it.

02

Follow Mode

Contest accounts are set as Signal Provider accounts by default, using "Follow by Equity Ratio" mode by default. This mode dynamically adjusts position size based on account equity, helping reduce position risk arising from differences in account size between the Signal Provider and Follower accounts.

03

Minimum Follower Account Size

Signal Providers are advised to set a minimum Follower account size requirement that matches their own account size, and to enable the "Followers Must Meet Minimum Funding Requirement" feature to reduce the risk of copy deviation caused by undersized Follower accounts.

04

Small Lot-Size Order Copy Limitations

When a Follower account is significantly smaller than the Signal Provider account -- for example, if the Signal Provider opens a position at 0.01 lots -- some orders may fail to copy successfully due to the system's minimum trade size limit. The platform cannot guarantee that every trade will be fully replicated.

05

Signal Provider Disclosure

Signal Providers are advised to disclose the following in their profile:

  • Account size
  • Typical position sizing ratio
  • Trading strategy type
  • Risk control model

This information helps Followers gain a fuller understanding of the Signal Provider's characteristics and independently assess potential risks.

06

Default Profit Sharing Ratio

Accounts entering the Trading Contest become Signal Provider accounts by default, with the profit-share ratio set to 30% by default and settled daily. If a contest account already had Signal Provider status enabled before joining the contest, its existing Signal Provider settings will continue to apply.

Follower Account Setup

Before choosing a Signal Provider, Followers should proactively assess the follow mode, follow coefficient, equity drawdown control level, and how orders are handled once risk controls are triggered.

01

Follow Mode & Follow Coefficient Settings

Before choosing to follow a Signal Provider, Followers should fully understand its follow type, account size, risk control practices, and trading history. If you're unable to fully assess the risk, it's advisable to prioritize Signal Providers using "Follow by Equity Ratio" mode.

A follow coefficient of 1 is recommended, meaning you take on a risk level similar to the Signal Provider account; Followers with a lower risk appetite can set a coefficient below 1 to reduce position size and potential risk accordingly.

Special note: when equity-ratio conversion results in a non-whole-lot position, the system may round the Follower position due to minimum trade size limits. As a result, the actual position size may deviate somewhat from the Signal Provider, causing actual returns and risk levels to not fully match.

02

Equity Drawdown Control Settings

Followers are strongly advised to set their equity drawdown risk control parameters carefully. Set a drawdown threshold appropriate to your own risk tolerance, and continue monitoring your account's risk status.

Please note in particular: a Signal Provider account may reduce risk or maintain positions during trading by, for example, adding funds -- this action is not mirrored on the Follower account. Follower accounts therefore still need their own independent risk control settings.

SettingExampleDescription
Follower account starting equity1,000 USDThe baseline value used to calculate the equity drawdown ratio.
Equity drawdown control level700 USDTriggers the preset risk control action once account equity has drawn down by 30%.
Lower risk-tolerance setting800 USDIf you can only tolerate roughly a 20% drawdown, set the control level to 800 USD.
03

Copy Behavior After a Risk Control Trigger

You can currently choose "Suspend Following" or "Cancel Following"; "Suspend Following" is recommended. Once your account equity reaches the preset control level, the system stops following any new positions the Signal Provider opens, preventing further risk from continued position-building.

After suspending, if you want to keep following, adjust your equity drawdown parameters and manually click "Resume Following"; if you no longer wish to follow, you can simply cancel the follow relationship.

Also note: if you choose "Keep All Orders," existing positions remain open and will no longer be synced for closing -- you must manage those positions yourself; if you choose "Close All Orders," the system automatically closes all positions once risk control is triggered.

04

Risk Control Execution Method

General users are advised to prioritize "Close All Orders." For users without professional trading experience or position-management capability, this setting helps you exit the market promptly once risk control is triggered, reducing the risk of further loss.

If you choose "Keep All Orders," you take on responsibility for managing those positions going forward. If they are not handled in time, your account may still incur further losses from market movement, and may even face forced liquidation.

Risk Disclaimer

High-Risk Trading Notice

OTC derivatives and leveraged trading carry high risk and may result in partial or total loss of your invested capital. Past performance, returns, and risk control outcomes are not indicative of future results, and a Signal Provider account's track record is no guarantee of future returns.

03

You should fully understand how copy trading works and its potential risks, including but not limited to market risk, liquidity risk, slippage risk, execution-deviation risk, technical/system risk, and the risk that a Signal Provider's strategy fails.

04

When you choose to copy trade or use related trading services, you do not directly participate in the Signal Provider's investment decision-making, and you hold no ownership, control, or other rights over the financial products the Signal Provider trades.

05
