Scope: Public-document review, with synthetic arithmetic. No live copy account, lead-trader performance or fills were tested. The site may receive affiliate commissions. Copying leveraged trades can lose the allocated capital; this is an explanation, not a recommendation to copy anyone.
A leader's return chart does not specify your future quantity, entry, costs or exit. The useful question is whether you can reconstruct what a copied instruction would do to your account, including when the instruction arrives late or cannot fill.
Identify the sizing rule
MEXC's website tutorial, checked 26 October 2026, distinguishes Smart Ratio allocation, Fixed Amount margin per order, and Fixed Ratio quantity multiples. It describes an account stop that closes at market; realized equity can differ from the threshold. Save the selected mode and settings, rather than treating these three rules as interchangeable.
Fixed margin is not fixed loss. Synthetic example: $100 margin at 10× represents $1,000 notional before fees and product-specific requirements. A 1% adverse move on a linear position loses about $10: 10% of that margin, but 2% of a $500 total account. The remaining balance, other positions and margin-sharing rules matter.
A larger copy multiplier increases exposure; it does not improve the leader's win rate. Three separate $1,000 allocations each exposed at 10× create $30,000 notional against $3,000 equity: 10× aggregate leverage, not 30×. If all three are long the same asset, the concentration is still severe.
Costs and settlement are separate checks
At an illustrative 0.06% on both sides of an unchanged $1,000 notional, commission is $1.20, not $6. If $1,000 means margin at 10×, the $10,000 notional instead costs $12. These are made-up rates for arithmetic, not a fee quote. Add the actual funding entries and fill differences; an unfilled order is not a zero-cost successful copy.
The profit-share rules, checked the same day, describe settlement based on positive realized results from fully closed positions, deferral with associated open positions, and immediate settlement on unfollowing. Read the applicable ratio and period before accepting. Do not infer lifetime loss recovery or a monthly high-water mark from those rules.
For your own performance report, keep unrealized losses visible even when a settlement calculation excludes or defers them. Hypothetical account: $1,000 opening equity, $80 realized gain, $150 open loss and $20 costs not already included produce $910 equity. A positive closed-trade statistic does not make that account profitable. Check the export's definitions so fees are not deducted twice.
Evaluate the follower, not only the leader
Keep a prospective log with leader signal time, follower fill time, quantities, entry and exit prices, skipped orders, costs and position state. Compare equivalent periods and cash flows. A seven-day winner can have an unobserved loss tail; inspect average loss and open exposure alongside win rate.

| Failure to examine | Useful observation |
|---|---|
| Several leaders take the same side | Combined notional by asset and direction |
| Minimum order prevents copying | Skipped quantity and resulting exposure gap |
| Leader closes before follower fills | Actual order state; no assumed matching exit |
| Repeated averaging consumes margin | Total committed exposure, not one order's limit |
| Stop or unfollow is requested | Confirmation, remaining orders and open positions |
The leader lacking withdrawal permission does not make an exchange account self-custody. Also distinguish stopping future copies from closing existing positions: inspect the confirmation and resulting positions instead of assuming one button does both.
Write an exception plan before relying on automation: the information that would cause you to stop new copies, the supported way to inspect and close exposure, and where you would retain confirmations. Neither blind non-intervention nor impulsive overrides demonstrate a strategy. If the account behavior cannot be explained from the records, leave the assessment unresolved.
