# Copy Trade Settings

#### Copy Trade Direction

Choose how positions should be mirrored:

**Direct**\
Mirror the trader’s positions exactly.\
Long → Long\
Short → Short

**Inverse**\
Take the opposite side of every trade.\
Long → Short\
Short → Long

This setting defines your directional exposure relative to the lead trader.

**Copy Direction can only be configured before copy trading starts** and cannot be changed afterward
{% endhint %}

#### Sizing Mode

Choose how each copied trade is sized.

**Fixed Ratio (Proportional)**

Trades are copied proportionally based on your allocation relative to the lead trader.

This is the default mode and reflects the trader’s position sizing dynamically.

**Fixed Amount**

Each copied trade uses a fixed amount of capital.

You must enter a fixed trade value, which will be applied to every copied position.

• Minimum trade size: **$12**\
• Each trade will use the same fixed amount regardless of the trader’s position size

This mode is useful if you want more consistent and predictable exposure per trade.

{% hint style="info" %}
Sizing Mode can be adjusted **during copy trading**, allowing you to switch between proportional and fixed sizing without stopping the copy.
