Copy verified signals. Loss guards, escrowed money, no trust required.

The guardrails, demonstrated
Every copier runs inside layered guards — here are the two that matter most. A per-signal loss cap halts copying from any one signal the moment its losses reach your cap. The global drawdown guard watches your whole account — if equity falls past your threshold, it closes open copied positions and halts all copying. Either way you are notified, and resuming is always your decision, never automatic.
worked example: copy into a $1,000 account with a 15% per-signal loss cap → copying from that signal halts when its losses reach −$150 (15% of account equity). The global drawdown guard — on by default at 15% — additionally closes open copies if your whole account falls past its floor.

We publish our failures.
When a signal breaks, we write the post-mortem and leave it up. We found no other platform that does this.

Questions
What does it cost to copy a signal?
Each signal sets its own monthly price. There is no platform subscription on top — browsing, screening and connecting accounts are free. Payments are made in USDT or USDC stablecoin.
What happens to my payment?
It is held in escrow for the billing period. The trader is paid only after the period ends plus a 7-day buffer. Traders receive 90% of revenue; the platform keeps 10%.
What does the auto-pause do mid-trade?
When a signal’s loss cap trips, copying from that signal halts immediately and you are notified — open copied positions stay open for you to manage. The daily drawdown cap and equity floor work at the account level: when they trip, all copying into that account halts. The global drawdown guard goes further: it closes open copied positions and halts all copying. Every guard is on by default and tunable, and copying never resumes by itself — you decide.
Which platforms are supported?
MT4, MT5, cTrader, DXtrade, MatchTrader and TradeLocker. Signal source accounts must be LIVE; you can copy into a live or demo account.
How are signals verified?
New signals are listed after a manual review. From there, tiers are earned against published criteria: VERIFIED requires 6 weeks of history, 50 trades and max drawdown ≤ 50% (automatic promotion). PRO requires 16 weeks, 150 trades, drawdown ≤ 50% and a manual review with a 3-business-day SLA.
Can a trader fake their track record?
Statistics are computed from raw trade history on directly connected live accounts — not self-reported. Martingale detection, deposit-masked drawdown checks and other integrity checks run continuously; anomalies create risk events that can put a signal under review, demote it, or block it.
How do traders get paid?
Escrow releases 90% of subscription revenue at period end + 7 days. Payouts are in stablecoin, minimum $10, with a 1% payout fee, after KYC verification.
How do I publish my own signal?
Connect a live account, list your signal at your own price, and climb the tier ladder against published criteria. You keep 90% of revenue. See the For traders page.
