Copy trading carries risk of loss. Read the risk disclosure before you follow anyone.
Reinvest returns automatically instead of letting them sit in your wallet. Small mechanism, large long-run difference — and a larger downside too.
Switch it on for a plan or a copy allocation and daily returns are added back to the working capital rather than paid out. The next day's return is calculated on the larger base. Turning it off is instant and takes effect from the next accrual.
At a 1.8% daily target over a 30-day term, $10,000 paid out simply returns $5,400. Compounded, the same rate returns roughly $7,050 — because each day works on a base that grew the day before. Over multiple consecutive terms the gap widens sharply. These are illustrations of the arithmetic, not forecasts.
Compounding is symmetric. Reinvesting into a copy allocation that is losing means the drawdown works on a growing base too, and a strategy in trouble does more damage with compounding on than off. It suits steady, low-variance sources of return far better than high-variance ones. Compound the plan; think twice before compounding a provider with a 28% drawdown history.
Set a split — reinvest a percentage and pay out the rest. Sixty-forty is a common choice: enough growth to matter, enough cash out to feel real and to fund withdrawals without unwinding anything.
Set a ceiling at which auto-compounding stops and everything switches to payout. It prevents a single allocation quietly growing into an outsized share of your account while you are not looking.
