# Copy Trading Settings

> Create and manage same-owner copy-trading groups, select lead and follower accounts, and set balance-adjusted multipliers.

[Open Copy Trading settings](https://myfundedperpetuals.com/settings?section=copy-trading)

## Group controls

Each group contains:

* one **Lead Account** that sends eligible trading instructions;
* one or more **Follower Accounts**;
* a multiplier from `0.1×` to `2×` for each follower;
* an enabled, stopping, or stopped lifecycle.

An account can participate in only one enabled group. Groups remain the same
when you switch the active account elsewhere in the app.

## Lead Account

Choose the account that should drive the group. Changing the lead of an existing
group requires disabling that group first. If the lead is no longer active or
available, disable the group before editing its membership.

## Follower Accounts and Multipliers

Add active accounts you own. A funded account cannot follow an evaluation lead.
The multiplier adjusts the follower's balance-normalized opening quantity:

* below `1×` uses less relative size;
* `1×` uses the same relative size after starting-balance normalization;
* above `1×` uses more relative size, subject to the follower's own limits.

Every follower keeps independent collateral, challenge-rule, position, and
market checks. One follower can reject an instruction without blocking the lead.

API credentials must cover the lead and every follower in the same live or
sandbox environment. If a group includes an account outside that boundary,
the API rejects the native lead operation before copying any orders. Use a
credential covering the complete group or manage the instruction on the
website. See [Authentication](/authentication) for copied-order changes and
scheduled execution boundaries.

## Disable and remove

Disable the group before removing it or selecting another lead. During stop
cleanup, follower orders are canceled and positions are closed. The affected
followers remain locked against manual trading until cleanup finishes.

If the lead passes, fails, or is closed, the group stops automatically. The
stopped record identifies why and can be removed after cleanup completes.

Read the [Copy Trading Guide](/guides/copy-trading-guide) for sizing examples,
stage compatibility, and the full lifecycle.

## Manage copy groups through the API

API keys with **read** scope can inspect `GET /v1/copy-trading`. A group is
returned only when the credential can access its lead and every follower in
the same live or sandbox environment. A restricted key can therefore see
fewer groups than the website. Accessible groups with archived members remain
listed so they can be disabled or deleted.

Keys with **trade** scope can use these operations:

| Operation                                                             | Endpoint                                               |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Create or update groups and explicitly delete disabled groups         | `POST /v1/copy-trading`                                |
| Disable copying, including a group with inactive or archived accounts | `POST /v1/copy-trading/{config_id}/disable`            |
| Acknowledge a completed follower stop notice                          | `POST /v1/accounts/{account_id}/acknowledge-copy-stop` |

Saving applies the same ownership, account status, stage, sizing, disjoint-group,
and cleanup rules as the website. Every existing and new member must be
accessible to the credential. Groups omitted from a save are preserved; only
IDs in `deleted_config_ids` are deleted. A group must be disabled before it
can be deleted or its lead changed. Pending stop cleanup must finish first.

```json theme={null}
{
  "groups": [
    {
      "enabled": true,
      "source_account_id": "YOUR_LEAD_ACCOUNT_ID",
      "targets": [
        { "account_id": "YOUR_FOLLOWER_ACCOUNT_ID", "multiplier_bps": 10000 }
      ]
    }
  ],
  "deleted_config_ids": []
}
```

Include `config_id` when updating an existing group. The save response returns
`config_ids` in submitted-group order, including newly created IDs. A
multiplier of `10000` uses proportional sizing after the follower-to-lead
starting balance ratio. There can be at most 20 groups and 20 followers per
group; multipliers range from 1000 to 20000 basis points.

Creating a group is not idempotent. If the response is lost, list the groups
and reconcile the intended configuration before retrying. Disabling stops new
copying and schedules outstanding copied-order cleanup; it does not close
existing filled positions. Automatic stops caused by a terminal lead follow
the normal follower close-out process.

Before acknowledging a stop, read
`GET /v1/accounts/{account_id}/trading-policy`. Its account-backed `copy_stop`
contains `stopped_at`, `completed_at`, `acknowledged_at`, and `reason`, even
when the original group has been deleted or is hidden from this credential.
When `completed_at` is present, acknowledge with the exact `copy_stop.stopped_at`
Unix-millisecond timestamp as the request's `stopped_at`. An outdated timestamp
or unfinished cleanup is a no-op.
