When you follow a Copy Trade strategy, you already mirror everything the trader does by hand: their entries, their averages, any take-profit or stop-loss they adjust, and any leg or position they close. That has always worked.

What you haven't mirrored is what happens to their trade on its own — when the price runs into one of their exit targets and that leg comes off automatically. Your position uses the same target percentages, but applied to your fill price. If you got in a few cents worse than they did, your target sits a little higher, so their leg can take profit while yours keeps running.

Complete Copy Trade Parity closes that gap. Turn it on and you also follow the automatic side of their trade management.

You'll find it on the Strategies page, in a strategy's Identity tab — it only appears once you've picked a Copy Trade signal source, since there's no one to stay in parity with otherwise. It's off by default, and turning it on takes effect right away.

What changes when it's on

• One of their exit legs hits its target → that same leg closes for you, at market, right then.
• Their profit-lock stop ratchets up (after one of their legs takes profit, the stops on their remaining legs move up) → your stops move with them.
• Their trade finishes because every leg has come off → your position closes out too.

With it off, none of those reach you. Your own take-profit and stop-loss brackets decide when each of your legs exits, exactly as before.

Example

The trader gets filled at $2.00 and you get filled at $2.10. Their first leg is set to take profit at +50%, so theirs triggers at $3.00 — yours sits at $3.15. The price tops out at $3.05 and rolls over.

Parity off: their leg banks the win at $3.00. Yours never reaches $3.15, so it stays open and rides the move back down.

Parity on: the moment their leg comes off at $3.00, yours closes too.

Your own stops stay in place

Turning parity on does not remove your take-profit and stop-loss brackets. They're still working the whole time — whichever happens first wins.

That matters: if a message is ever delayed or your bot briefly loses its connection, your own stop is still sitting at the broker protecting the position. Parity adds a way out; it never takes one away.

It also means you can still do better than the trader. If your fill was better than theirs, your target may trigger first — you take the profit and their later message simply finds nothing left to close.

Which one should I use?

Neither is more correct — they suit different preferences.

• Leave it off if you'd rather your own targets decide your exits. Your results will drift a little from the trader's, sometimes better and sometimes worse.
• Turn it on if you want your trade to track theirs as closely as possible and you're comfortable exiting when they exit, even if your own target hadn't been reached.

Worth knowing

• It's per strategy, so you can run one strategy in parity and another the normal way.
• You can switch it at any point, including mid-day. It applies to what happens from that moment on — it won't reach back and re-close a leg that already came off.
• It only applies to Copy Trade sources you're mirroring. On an (Entry Only) source the toggle doesn't appear, because there you take the entry and manage the exit entirely yourself.
• It doesn't change entries in any way. Which trades you take, and your position sizing, are still governed by your own strategy settings.
