RoboForex CopyFX Explained: How Copy Trading Works in 2026

RoboForex CopyFX is one of the largest broker-integrated copy trading platforms on the market. It lets an investor subscribe to a professional trader (a "master") so that every order the master places is automatically mirrored on the investor's own account. This guide covers how CopyFX actually works under the hood, the account types involved, fees and risk controls — and how it maps to Team Quantum's master accounts.

How CopyFX copies trades

When a master opens, modifies or closes a position, the CopyFX engine calculates the corresponding volume for each subscriber and sends the order to their MT4/MT5 account via the broker. Copying is bidirectional: profits, losses, partial closes and stop-loss modifications are all mirrored. If the investor's account can't fit the trade (not enough margin, ratio too high), the order is skipped and logged.

Copy ratios

• Proportional — subscriber volume = master volume × (subscriber balance / master balance) × coefficient. Best default for most investors.
• Copy ratio — a fixed multiplier applied to master lot size.
• Fixed lot — the same lot size regardless of master volume. Higher risk on smaller accounts.

Team Quantum masters are tuned for proportional copying with a coefficient of 0.9, which leaves headroom for drawdown spikes and slippage.

Account types

Investor account

The account you deposit into and use to subscribe. CopyFX supports Pro-Standard, ECN and Prime accounts on MT4 or MT5. Minimum recommended deposit for stable proportional copying is $100–$200; smaller balances can't always fit the master's minimum lot.

Master account

The professional trader's account. On the master's public page you can see:

• Cumulative yield and equity curve
• Max drawdown and current open positions
• Full trading history
• Number of subscribers and total funds copied
• Trader commission and subscription conditions

Fees

• Trader commission — set by the master, charged on realised profit during the trading period. Team Quantum masters charge 30%.
• Spread / swap — normal broker costs, same as any manual trade.
• High-water mark — commission is only charged on new profit above the previous peak. Losing periods carry forward until they're recovered.
• Partner share — if an investor joined via a partner, 30% of the trader commission is redirected to that partner. It's paid from the trader's fee, not from the investor.

Risk controls the investor can set

• Copy coefficient — lower it to reduce exposure per trade.
• Stop loss on total equity — auto-unsubscribe if drawdown crosses a threshold.
• Max slippage — skip trades where execution is too far from the master price.
• Symbol filter — copy only chosen instruments.
• Pause / unsubscribe — available at any time, no lock-up.

Is CopyFX safe?

Funds sit on the investor's own regulated brokerage account — Team Quantum never has withdrawal rights. The only permission granted is order-copying. That's the core benefit over pooled models like PAMM: you can pause copying, tighten the ratio or withdraw at any time without needing anyone's approval.
