Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What should I do if the strategy I'm copying starts underperforming?
First, review the strategy’s long-term performance and current market conditions. Consider adjusting your copy settings, such as reducing the copy ratio or tightening stop-loss levels. If underperformance persists, you may want to pause copying and reassess the strategy. Diversify your copy portfolio by following multiple strategies to mitigate risk. Always monitor your account regularly and be prepared to make changes as needed.
How can I protect my account from excessive losses when copy trading?
Utilize LiteFinance’s risk management tools effectively. Set a maximum drawdown limit that aligns with your risk tolerance. Use stop-loss orders for individual trades and consider setting a daily or weekly loss limit. Diversify your copy portfolio across multiple strategy providers with different trading styles. Regularly review and adjust your copy settings based on performance and market conditions. Remember, you can always pause or stop copying a strategy if you’re uncomfortable with its performance.
What steps should I take if I encounter technical issues with the copy trading platform?
First, check your internet connection and ensure you’re using the latest version of the LiteFinance platform or app. If issues persist, try logging out and back in, or restart the application. Clear your browser cache if using the web platform. If problems continue, contact LiteFinance support immediately, providing details of the issue, including any error messages, time of occurrence, and affected trades. In the meantime, monitor your open positions manually and be prepared to intervene if necessary to protect your investments.
