# Copy trading

- [How copy trading works](https://docs.trada.io/copy-trading/copy-trading.md): How copy trading works in Trada — a copier maps one master account to many follower accounts, copying every trade in real time with per-account control.
- [Create a copier](https://docs.trada.io/copy-trading/create-a-copier.md): Create a copier from the Copy Trading list view, then manage your copiers — start and stop them, duplicate, and delete.
- [The sender account](https://docs.trada.io/copy-trading/sender-account.md): Set the master account a copier copies from. Each copier has exactly one sender, and the sender sets the copier's market type.
- [Add & configure a receiver](https://docs.trada.io/copy-trading/configure-receiver.md): Add follower accounts to a copier and configure each one independently across three tabs — Trading, SL & TP, and Protection.
- [Lot-sizing modes](https://docs.trada.io/copy-trading/configure-receiver/lot-sizing-modes.md): The three ways a receiver can size each copied trade — Lotsize Multiplier, Fixed Lotsize, and Fixed % Risk.
- [Stop-loss & take-profit modes](https://docs.trada.io/copy-trading/configure-receiver/sl-tp-modes.md): Control how stop-loss and take-profit carry from the sender to each receiver — inherited, fixed distance, or refined by a set amount.
- [Risk protection](https://docs.trada.io/copy-trading/configure-receiver/risk-protection.md): Set per-receiver loss and profit limits that act automatically: close the copier's positions, stop the copier, or both.
- [Symbol mapping](https://docs.trada.io/copy-trading/symbol-mapping.md): Match the sender's instrument names to each receiver's, so a master symbol copies correctly even when brokers name it differently.
- [Working hours & scheduling](https://docs.trada.io/copy-trading/working-hours.md): Restrict when a copier is allowed to copy trades using daily time blocks, and optionally close open positions when the trading period ends.
- [Copier states & lifecycle](https://docs.trada.io/copy-trading/lifecycle.md): Understand copier states — draft, active, and paused — what pauses a copier on its own, and how pausing and deleting affect open trades.
- [Copier logs](https://docs.trada.io/copy-trading/copier-logs.md): Read the chronological record of everything a copier does — copies, closes, failures, and protection triggers — and filter or export it.
- [Troubleshooting copiers](https://docs.trada.io/copy-trading/troubleshooting.md): Work out why a trade didn't copy and how to fix it — disconnections, paused copiers, protection triggers, symbol mappings, slippage, and order-type rules.
