Copy Trading allows you to automatically replicate the trades of more experienced traders — known as Lead Traders — applying their strategies to your own trading activities without needing to manually execute trades. 

After launching Futures Copy Trading in October 2023, thereby opening up advanced trading strategies to a wider audience, we recognized a need to extend this tool even further. Many users expressed interest in a similar feature for spot trading. 

Responding to this feedback, we’re excited to now introduce Spot Copy Trading. This expands the concept of Copy Trading on Binance beyond futures, and brings it to our spot markets, making it easier for users across the world to follow the strategies of Lead Traders. Our goal is to equip every user, no matter where they are or their level of experience, with tools to enhance their trading confidence and capabilities.

Understanding Spot Copy Trading

In short, Spot Copy Trading is a feature that allows you to copy the trading strategies of Lead Traders on Binance directly into your own trading activity, minimising the need for deep market knowledge or constant monitoring. Essentially, it turns the complex decisions of trading into a straightforward process of selecting a trader to follow, making the world of cryptocurrency trading more accessible to everyone.

For new traders, or existing traders looking to automate, this means an opportunity to learn from others. It reduces the barrier to entry, offering a practical learning experience as you watch and replicate the moves of more seasoned traders. For Lead Traders, it’s an opportunity to monetize their expertise and cultivate passive revenue streams, all while maintaining control over their investments and portfolio.

The key difference between Spot and Futures Copy Trading lies in the assets traded. Spot trading involves buying or selling crypto at current market prices. Futures trading, meanwhile, often uses leverage. This can significantly increase potential gains, but also risk, especially given market volatility. As a result, Spot Copy Trading offers a more straightforward introduction, presenting a clearer and less daunting entry point.
