What is Social Trading for MetaTrader?

Social Trading for MetaTrader is a professional copy trading solution that allows brokers to enable automatic trade copying between accounts in MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5.

Does Social Trading support MetaTrader 5?

Yes, Social Trading supports both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms.

Can brokers control risk and commissions?

Yes, brokers have full control over commissions, execution, and risk management.

What is the difference between Social Trading and the PAMM system?

Both Social Trading and PAMM are investment systems that complement the original functionality of the MetaTrader platform with the ability to share the trading strategies of successful traders. The difference is that ST investors may directly copy the trading signals to their accounts, while PAMM investors entrust their funds to a money manager, who invests in a special shared account.

How does Social Trading platform works?

Social Trading platform is based on the idea of copying trading signals. To start copying, investors analyze the trading results of signal providers via the leaderboard supported by the Ratings & Statistics Module and then pick the most attractive ones. Once investors find the most suitable option, they subscribe to receive trading signals from the provider and configure the copying modes they want to apply. After all preparations are complete, the solution will automatically follow the defined strategy.

What is a trading signal?

A trading signal is an information about opening or closing trading positions on the signal provider’s account that triggers an action for all followers to copy them. Based on trading symbols, the Social Trading solution enables investors to join trading strategies and automatically buy or sell specified assets. The quality of the trading signals and the competence of the signal providers are crucial for all copy trading systems.

How to be successful in Social Trading?

To successfully implement and promote social trading services, brokers should confirm the quality of trading signals and signal providers. It may be done using coherent KYC processes or analyzing the trading results available with the Ratings & Statistics module.

What's the primary difference between Copy Trading and Social Trading?

Copy Trading software involves directly replicating the trades of chosen investors, allowing users to automate their trading strategies. On the other hand, Social Trading is a broader concept that includes collaborative trading within a community. It goes beyond replicating trades to encompass the sharing of insights, market analyses, and strategies among a network of traders. Social Trading fosters a more interactive and educational trading environment compared to the more automated approach of Copy Trading solutions.

Risk management

Social Trading simultaneously covers two general issues: eliminate operational and infrastructural risks for brokers and offer reliable and understandable protection mechanisms for traders.

Risk mitigations for brokers

Part of operational risks may be covered by the restricted administrators feature. It creates a hierarchy of management decisions on the platform and accurately distributes the necessary powers among the personnel operating with the solution.

Brokers may appoint one administrator – a superuser with the most extended rights to manage additional staff rights and run the platform. Thus a broker reduces the possibility of accident interference in the investment system performance and human factor mistakes.

Next, brokers may divide traders in different groups and servers based on region of registration, connected LP, roles or etc. to accurately configure rules for each of them. During operation with them the administrator doesn’t have to re-login.

Risk management for traders

Social Trading platform offers traders several tools to mitigate risks during their trading activity:

Proportional copying equalizes the trading risks of providers and subscribers, who often start trading with small amounts.
Advanced Stop-Loss & Take-Profit settings regulate all limits for the order.
Stop-Loss and Take-Profit rules on the subscription-level configure conditions for all trades from one provider.

Ratings Module

Social Trading has a special Ratings Module that is also connectable with PAMM. With it brokers may easily create custom widgets based on real time trading information of signal providers. Widgets may effortlessly integrate the brokers’ website attracting visitors’ attention with the interactive charts and graphs.

Ratings Module also allows to integrate the dashboards from signal providers and investor portals with the trading room as widgets, helping brokers to contain all useful client information in one virtual space.

Performance

The solution is fully hosted on the broker’s servers, ensuring that no data is collected by the provider. Thus, a broker has granular control over the solution and the client’s information.
