Chapter CH-12 copy-trading / multi-jurisdiction
The retention engine that turns trader-followers into account growth. Copy trading lets retail clients mirror professional or peer signal providers; social trading layers community + transparency on top. 10 vendors split between broker-stack-bundled copy modules (B2Copy, Leverate Copy, Match-Trade Copy, UpTrader Copy), platform-native copy (cTrader Copy), plugin overlays (Brokeree Social Trader), and independent copy + social networks (ZuluTrade with 80+ broker integrations, DupliTrade CySEC-aligned, FXJunction Limassol-native, Pelican Trading FCA-authorised). Operators typically pick ONE network plus ONE in-platform copy capability.
