Copy trading is the process of replicating the trades of other traders, including all of their trading actions.
If you're a standard account holder who doesn't want to miss out on market opportunities, you can choose to follow professional traders and automatically synchronize with their trading activity. To get started, refer to the following guides: "MEXC Copy Trading Tutorial (App)" and "MEXC Copy Trade Tutorial (Website)."
If you have solid trading experience and wish to become a copy trader yourself, read the "Copy Trading Guide For Lead Traders" to learn about the process. As a trader, you also have the opportunity to earn attractive profit-sharing rewards.

2. Profit Share Overview
Total Profit Share: Calculated daily at 16:00 (UTC), based on the realized profits from all fully closed copy trade positions over the previous 24 hours. The settlement cycle runs from 16:00 the previous day to 16:00 the current day (UTC). Profit share is only triggered if the follower's total profit during the settlement period is greater than 0. After each settlement, the total profit share is reset to 0.
Expected Profit Share: The total estimated shareable profit since the last settlement, calculated based on the withheld profits from followers. The actual amount distributed will depend on the final settlement result.
Profit Share Ratio: The default ratio is 10%. You may apply to change this ratio, with a maximum of one change allowed per day. The result of your application will be communicated via email, SMS, or in-site notification.
3. Profit Share Calculation
Profit is shared with the trader only when the total realized profit from all fully closed follower positions is greater than 0.
Partially closed positions are not eligible for profit share.
If a follower has any associated open positions, settlement will be deferred to the next settlement day.
If a follower unfollows a trader, profit share will be settled immediately.
Details:
Pre-Freeze: To secure the trader's earnings, when a follower fully closes a position and the realized profit is greater than 0 (since the last settlement), a portion of the profits is pre-frozen in a system intermediary account based on the profit share ratio.
Actual Settlement: Profit share is settled daily between 16:00–17:00 (UTC), covering the previous day's results. If the realized profit from all fully closed positions since the last settlement is greater than 0, profit share is processed.
- Formula: Trader's Actual Profit Share = Total Realized Profit from All Follower Positions × Profit Share Ratio
- If there are multiple followers, this is calculated individually and then totaled.
Pre-Freeze Refund: Refund = Pre-Frozen Amount - Trader's Actual Profit Share (Any remaining amount after deducting the trader's share is refunded to the follower's Futures account in USDT-M).
Settlement Time: Profit share is settled daily from 16:00 to 17:00 (UTC). Typically, all settlements are completed by 17:00.
4. Expected Profit Share Calculation
Expected Profit Share = Sum of Withheld Profits from Followers
For traders with multiple followers, the withheld profit from each follower is calculated separately and then totaled.
Estimated profit updates every 5 minutes. This is for reference only: the final settled amount may deviate from the estimate.
Example:
Trader A (profit share ratio: 10%) has one follower, B. On a given day, trader A opens two copy trading positions, and follower B mirrors both. Later, follower B fully closes one position while the other remains open.
The closed position by follower B has a realized profit of 100 USDT. Withheld profit share = 100 × 10% = 10 USDT
Trader A's Estimated Profit Share = 10 USDT
