When looking at a Copy Trading Strategy, you’ll notice two key profit indicators:
Total profit indicator (%) and Today’s profit (%).
Let’s break down what they mean and how to read them.

Total profit indicator(%)

This shows how much total profit or loss the Strategy Provider has made since starting the Strategy — shown in %.

A Strategy’s Profit % may change only as a result of Manager’s trading activity, either profitable or unprofitable.

A deposit by the Manager to the Strategy will increase Manager’s Equity but won’t change Profit % of the Strategy. Similarly, a withdrawal of funds by the Manager will reduce Manager’s Equity but won’t change Profit % of the Strategy.

📊 Profit % is compounded (not added)

This means it calculates performance based on what happened after every change.

For example:

  1. Trader starts with $100

  2. Earns +$50 → Profit: +50%

  3. Adds $100 → Equity becomes $250

  4. Earns +$50 again → Profit: +20%

  5. Combined profit: 80%

  6. Then loses $50 → now profit = -10%

🧮 Formula tracks every step, so it gives an accurate picture.


📅 Today’s Profit indicator (%)

This is how much the Provider's account gained or lost today — simple as that.

It's based only on trades made since the start of the day, not the entire Strategy history.

Example:

  • Start of day: $160

  • Current equity: $165

  • Today’s profit: +3.12%

  • Total profit (since the beginning): +65%


📌 What to Focus On as a Follower

You don’t need to worry about the Provider’s personal deposits or withdrawals.
Instead, focus on:

  • Profit % in your own account (visible on the Portfolio page)

  • How consistent and realistic the Strategy’s results are
