How to Follow a Signal

Following a Public Signal

On the Copy Trading Community homepage, click Follow below the signal to start following it.

Alternatively, click Follow directly from the signal list for quick access.

Select a Trading Account to Follow the Signal

Note: Read-only accounts and PAMM accounts are not supported and will not be displayed.

1. Enter the Trading Password for the follower account.

Note: Please enter the password manually to avoid accidental spaces or hidden characters when copying and pasting.

2. Choose one of the following Strategy Types: Fund Ratio, Volume Ratio, or Fixed Volume.

If Fund Ratio is selected, you must also choose the fund type: Equity or Balance.

3. Set the Follow Multiplier (0–100) to adjust the copied trade volume.

4. Configure the Minimum Volume Handling: Skip or Open at Minimum Volume.
Note:

If Skip is selected and the calculated copied volume is below the minimum trading volume for the product (e.g. 0.01 lots for Forex or 1 share for Stocks), no position will be opened.

If Open at Minimum Volume is selected and the calculated copied volume is below the product's minimum trading volume, the position will instead be opened using the minimum allowable volume.

5. Configure the Maximum Loss (USD) risk control (0–1,000,000).

When the combined realized and unrealized P/L of this copy strategy reaches the specified risk limit, the system will automatically close all related copied positions and pause the copy strategy.

To resume copying, increase the Maximum Loss value and change the strategy status back to Active.

Note: The Maximum Loss calculation is based on the cumulative historical P/L since you started following the signal and will not be reset.

6. Select the Subscription Plan for this signal.
All subscription fees are charged by the signal provider, not by EBC.

7. Click Save.

Following a Private Signal

Each Private Signal has a unique Signal ID. To follow a Private Signal:

1. Go to the Signal List page.
2. Select Signal ID from the search type dropdown.
3. Enter the Signal ID and click Search to locate the Private Signal.

Note: The signal provider can determine whether the signal accepts follow requests. If following is disabled, the Follow button will not be available. The signal provider may also choose either Auto Approval or Manual Approval. A follow relationship is established only after the request has been approved.

Submitting a Follow Request

1. Open the Follow Signal page.

2. The follow process is the same as for Public Signals. For Private Signals, you must additionally complete the Application Note field (required, maximum 20 characters) to help the signal provider review your request.

3. Click Save. A confirmation dialog will appear:

"Your follow request must be approved before copying can begin. You can check the approval status on the My Following page.

If your account Equity/Balance is insufficient to open copied positions, the system will automatically pause the copy strategy.

Are you sure you want to submit this follow request?"

4. After submission, go to My Following → Follow Requests to view the request status: Pending, Approved, Rejected, or Withdrawn.

Note: A pending request may be withdrawn before it is reviewed.
