Copy trading

Copy trading is a service in which follower accounts automatically replicate the trades of a strategy provider, usually in proportion to account size.

Why it matters for brokers and payment firms

Copied trades open at the same moment in many accounts and can look like coordinated or matched trading. Surveillance needs the provider and follower links to exclude them, and should still check for providers and followers who are the same person.
