In the dynamic world of spot trading, signal providers—commonly referred to as lead traders—have the flexibility to make strategic decisions based on real-time market conditions. One such powerful tool is the custom close feature, which allows traders to send or withhold trading signals to followers at their discretion. This functionality enhances control, risk management, and overall trading efficiency.
Whether you're managing your own capital or leading a community of followers, understanding how to effectively use the spot trading leader tools can significantly improve your performance and trustworthiness in the ecosystem.
Spot Copy Trading Toggle: Control When Signals Are Sent
At the core of the custom close mechanism lies the spot copy trading toggle—a simple switch that determines whether a trade will be mirrored by followers.
1. Enabling the Copy Trade Mode
When the toggle is turned on, any buy action taken by the lead trader automatically triggers a corresponding buy for all followers. The funds used in this transaction are marked as dedicated copy trading capital, meaning they can only be used for closing (selling) within the copy trading system and cannot be withdrawn or reused elsewhere.
Once a position is opened, the trader can select the "Sell" option to view the current available copy trading balance. At this stage, both quantity and price can be specified for the sell order. These parameters are then replicated exactly for all followers, ensuring transparency and consistency across all accounts.

2. Disabling the Copy Trade Mode
Turning the toggle off decouples personal trades from follower activity. Any subsequent buy orders executed by the lead trader will be treated as personal trades—invisible to and unmirrored by followers.
Similarly, when selling, only non-copy-trading assets (i.e., personal holdings) will be affected. This separation ensures full autonomy over private strategies while still maintaining active copy trading positions from earlier signals.
Note: Assets not designated as copy trading pairs do not display the toggle. All transactions involving these assets are considered personal, regardless of the switch state.
However, an important exception exists: if a sale is initiated from within the "Copy Trade" tab, followers will always mirror the action—even if the main toggle is off. This provides an additional layer of control for closing shared positions without affecting personal trades.
How Spot Trading Leaders Can Execute Sell Orders
Lead traders have two primary pathways to close their positions: directly from the trading interface or via the copy trade management dashboard.
Path 1: Selling from the Trading Interface
After becoming a spot copy trader, a toggle switch appears next to selected tradable assets. This switch governs whether actions are broadcasted to followers.
- Toggle On: Buy and sell actions are transmitted as signals. Followers replicate buys automatically. During a sell, you can freely set the amount and price for your dedicated copy trading funds.
- Toggle Off: No signals are sent. Buys and sells affect only your personal portfolio. Followers remain unaffected.
- Non-Copy Assets: These do not show the toggle. All trades are private. However, any sell operation conducted under the "Copy" tab will still trigger follower replication.
This dual-mode system enables seamless switching between public signal sharing and private trading—ideal for testing new strategies or managing mixed portfolios.
Path 2: Managing Sales via the Copy Trade Dashboard
For more centralized control, traders can access:
Follow-to-Trade Square > My Copy Trades > Active Positions
or Trade > Copy Trade > Spot Copy
From here, two execution options are available:
- Market Sell: Instant execution at current market price.
- Limit Order: Set a specific price for automatic execution when reached.
If a limit order already exists for a given position, attempting to place another sell order requires either:
- Canceling the existing order first, or
- Modifying its price directly
This prevents conflicting instructions and maintains order clarity across all follower accounts.

Setting Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Levels
Risk management is crucial in any trading strategy. The platform supports built-in stop-loss and take-profit settings directly on active copy trade orders.
To configure:
- Navigate to the current open copy trade.
- Click on the "Stop-Loss / Take-Profit" button.
Enter desired values for:
- Take-Profit Price
- Stop-Loss Price
The system automatically locks in the same quantity as the original order, ensuring proportional risk exposure across all follower accounts.
These automated triggers help protect gains and limit downside risk—even when the lead trader isn’t actively monitoring the market.
Why This Matters:
- Prevents emotional decision-making during high-volatility periods.
- Builds trust with followers through consistent risk controls.
- Increases long-term sustainability of a trading strategy.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I change my mind after sending a buy signal?
A: Yes. Once a buy signal is sent (with toggle on), you can later adjust your exit strategy using limit orders, stop-loss, or take-profit settings—all of which will be mirrored by followers.
Q: Do followers see my personal trades when the toggle is off?
A: No. When the toggle is disabled, all trades—including buys and sells—are private and invisible to followers unless executed through the "Copy" tab.
Q: What happens if I try to sell more than my available copy trading balance?
A: The system will block over-selling attempts. Only funds designated as active copy trading capital can be sold via signal transmission.
Q: Can I set different take-profit levels for different followers?
A: No. All followers receive identical signal parameters based on the lead trader’s settings. Customization per follower is not supported.
Q: Is it possible to re-enable signal transmission after turning it off?
A: Absolutely. You can turn the toggle on or off at any time. Only actions taken while it's on will affect followers.
Q: Are stop-loss and take-profit orders visible to followers?
A: Yes. Followers can see pending exit conditions on their dashboards, promoting transparency and confidence in your strategy.
