Copying a strategy is more than choosing the best-looking return history. We compare what is copied, capital allocation, position controls and follower costs. Every row describes documented copying rather than relabelling bots or APIs as copy trading.
Compare products, costs and ways to move your funds.
First for a separate FCT subaccount, allocation controls and a distinct copying fee schedule.
Combines Classic copying with derivatives pricing and a broader manual-trading reference.
Copies entries, exits and adjustments using fixed or proportional allocation, without a separate copy execution charge.
Order prioritises follower-account structure, documented allocation and controls, then cost interpretation. Historical returns do not determine positions or guarantee replication. BingX and BloFin are unranked alternatives with different data or charging structures.
| Exchange | Copying mode | Allocation and controls | Product costs and limits | Actions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 International FCT · futures copying | FCT futures; account separate from manual trading | Smart or per-order; fixed amount/multiplier, limits and slippage | Copy VIP 0: 0.02% maker / 0.06% taker; funding and sharing separate | |
| 2 International Classic · derivatives | Derivatives Classic; not Bybit EU spot | Size, minimums, execution and exit when unfollowing | Account derivatives/VIP rate; funding and leader terms | |
| 3 International copying · futures | Trader entries, exits and adjustments | Fixed amount or margin ratio; strategy allocation | Charged like the equivalent trade; funding and strategy terms | |
4 International Smart Ratio · futures | Smart Ratio based on the trader’s capital proportion | Cross margin documented; assess combined exposure | Contract and copying costs; do not apply the spot rate | |
5 International elite portfolios | Batched migration from classic futures copying | Announced new format lacks TP/SL ratios and Equity Guardian | Futures fees and profit sharing separate; check account format | |
Alternative · standard-futures copying | Standard-futures copying | Allocation and exposure follow the chosen product | 0.045% trading charge at closing; not a universal copy rate | |
 BloFinAlternative · USDT copy account | USDT-margined instruments and a copy account | API with copying and position functions; separate demo | Execution, funding and strategy terms remain separate |
The table compares international copying products, without attributing copying to an EEA spot account or using spot rates for contracts. Execution fees, funding and profit sharing are distinct.
LBank leads for FCT separation, allocation modes and its own copying price. Bybit adds Classic and a derivatives context; BTCC distinguishes replication from equivalent execution; MEXC illustrates Smart Ratio; Bitget requires attention to migrating controls.
Follower counts do not establish quality, and past returns are not expected pricing or performance. Order follows documented functions and limits and stays the same with or without commercial links.

The follower account comes first: its allocated capital, order sizing and treatment of open losses matter more than a recent return percentage. LBank leads this selection for separating FCT from manual futures, offering allocation modes and publishing a distinct copy fee. That organisation does not remove position risk. Bybit, BTCC, MEXC and Bitget use different structures and controls. We do not claim to have tested traders or identify a return winner. The copy-trading guide explains how to interpret history without treating it as a forecast.
LBank FCT offers Smart or per-order copying with fixed amounts or multipliers and slippage limits. BTCC describes fixed amounts or margin proportions while replicating entries, exits and adjustments. MEXC Smart Ratio relates size to the trader’s capital proportion and documents cross margin. These formulas are not interchangeable. Order minimums or available balance can prevent exact proportional replication. Several leaders may also hold the same exposure simultaneously, so splitting an allocation among five names does not diversify five identical directional positions.
LBank FCT lists 0.02% maker and 0.06% taker at base VIP 0 even for a higher-tier account. On hypothetical USDT 1,000 notional, those mean USDT 0.20 and USDT 0.60 per fill, not the minimum of a manual-futures band. Bybit Classic uses the account’s derivatives and VIP rates. BTCC charges copied fills like equivalent trades without a separate copying execution charge. That does not make everything free: funding and strategy terms remain relevant. BingX standard-futures copying charges 0.045% on closing and is not merged with perpetual maker/taker.
A leader’s profit share is different from the opening execution fee. Read the chosen strategy’s terms and settlement method rather than applying a common percentage to every platform or account. Funding is separate too: a perpetual held for several days can cross multiple periods with changing rates. A hypothetical USDT 10,000 position at 0.01% funding means USDT 1 for that period even after paying execution. The funding guide distinguishes payments, completed profits and open losses.
Bitget has been migrating classic futures copying to elite portfolios in batches since 1 November 2026. The announced format uses fixed margin or fixed ratio, but does not yet include TP/SL ratios or Equity Guardian described for earlier versions. That is a specific comparison limit, not a claim that the whole platform lacks risk tools. Review retained settings before resuming. Across services, stopping new copies and closing existing positions can be different instructions. A clear exit process matters more than a screen full of statistics.
BingX provides standard futures and closing-time charging; BloFin adds a separate account, USDT-margined instruments and copy API functions. They remain unranked alternatives rather than implying identical control coverage. A Grid bot or an API following your own rules does not establish copying another trader’s decisions. Pionex automation alone is therefore insufficient for inclusion. LBank versus Bybit, LBank versus BTCC and the comparator develop these choices without invented returns.
That is not assumed. This selection identifies documented derivatives-copying modes. Manual spot or bots do not establish spot copying.
No. It can mean execution is charged like the equivalent trade. Futures fees, funding, sharing and slippage remain separate.
That number is insufficient. Examine duration, open losses, combined exposure and size. Your balance, minimums and execution can produce a different result from the displayed history.
