# Copy Trading Feature Overview

### 1. Basic Information

**System Core Rules**

* **Settlement Cycle:**
  * Calculation: Every Monday 00:00 – Sunday 23:59:59 (UTC+8)
  * Settlement: Every Monday 00:00 (UTC+8), profit share is automatically distributed to the trader’s wallet.
  * Delayed Settlement: If a follower has open positions, profit sharing will roll over to the next cycle.

**Profit-Sharing Mechanism**

* Ratio range: 0%–30% (default: 10%)
* Pre-deduction: Profit share is deducted from follower’s profitable trades in real time. If the final weekly result is a loss, the deducted amount is refunded.
* Losses: When followers incur losses, traders do not earn profit share.

**Trading Mode Limitations**

* Supported leverage: Cross/Isolated margin.
* Only **isolated mode** is supported for copy trading (cross margin is not available).
* Default leverage: Smart-matched at 10x, but users can manually adjust.
