Copy Trading Terms

Last updated: 16 October 2026 · Version: 1.1

1. What Copy Trading is

1.1 Copy Trading is a feature of Bybit, a third-party exchange. It is not a service we run, and we never hold, access, move or manage your money.

1.2 Our Traders trade their own account. A trading bot operated by us places matching trades on a Bybit account we control called the WIC master. Bybit's copy-trading technology then copies the WIC master's trades into the Bybit accounts of followers who have been admitted to the WIC master's copy group.

1.3 The Copy Trading add-on gives you access to that copy group. It does not include any guarantee that trades will be copied, copied at the same time, price or size, or be profitable.

2. Who can use it

2.1 You need an active Elite membership and an active Copy Trading add-on for as long as you use Copy Trading.

2.2 You need your own Bybit account in good standing, in a country where Bybit offers its services and copy trading to you. Bybit decides who may use Bybit. It is your responsibility to make sure you are allowed to use Bybit and copy trading where you live. Bybit does not offer its services in some countries, including the United States.

2.3 One Bybit UID per Copy Trading membership, and one membership per UID. You may replace your UID; the new one replaces the old one. A UID already registered to another member will be refused.

3. How access works

3.1 After buying the add-on, send your Bybit UID from the Copy Trading tab. We add approved UIDs to the WIC master's copy group on Bybit, usually within 1–2 business days. We may refuse or remove a UID at our discretion, for example if it is invalid, belongs to someone else, or if your membership is not active.

3.2 Approved is not copying. After approval you must follow the WIC master in the Bybit app and set the amount you want to copy with. Copying starts only then, and only for trades opened after you follow.

3.3 You control your Bybit account. You choose the amount, can change it, pause or stop following at any time in Bybit. Bybit's own terms, fees, limits and rules govern your use of copy trading, including the profit share described in section 4.

4. What Copy Trading costs

4.1 The add-on. We charge the Copy Trading add-on on top of Elite, at the price shown on the Plans page when you buy. It is charged whether or not copying makes a profit.

4.2 Bybit's profit share, paid to the WIC master. On Bybit, followers share part of their copy-trading profit with the master trader they follow. For Copy Trading that master trader is the WIC master, a Bybit account we control, so we receive this profit share. Bybit sets the rate by the WIC master's rank on Bybit. It is currently 10% of your net profit; Bybit may change it (for example to 12% or 15% at higher ranks). The current rate is shown on the WIC master's profile in Bybit before you follow.

4.3 How Bybit works it out (a summary; Bybit's own rules apply and prevail):

• Bybit adds up your profit and loss on copied trades for each week (Saturday 00:00 to Friday 23:59 UTC), after the trading fees to open and close.
• If the week ends in a net profit, the profit share is the rate times that net profit. If it ends in a net loss, there is no profit share for that week.
• Bybit sets the share aside from each day's profit and settles every Monday at 3:00 UTC, returning to you anything set aside that is not owed. Profit on trades that are still open is settled in a later week, once those trades close.
• You can see what was set aside, returned and paid in Bybit (Copy Trading, your follower overview and transaction history).

4.4 Bybit's own trading fees and funding costs are separate from the profit share and are charged by Bybit as usual. Costs reduce your results.

5. What may differ from Our Traders' trades

You accept that copied trades can and will differ from Our Traders', including because of:

• coins Bybit does not allow for copy trading — trades on those coins are not copied (we list the ones our bot has recorded in the Copy Trading tab);
• trades opened before the WIC master or you started copying;
• delays, slippage, different entry and exit prices, partial fills, rounding of position sizes, minimum order sizes, leverage or margin settings, liquidation, and your own Bybit settings;
• outages, errors or decisions of Bybit, our bot, our servers, internet connections or market-data providers;
• the kill switch or other safety controls that may pause copying.

The Copy Trading dashboard shows the WIC master's trades, not your account's results. Your own fills and results can differ and are not shown or verified by us.

6. When access ends

6.1 If your Elite membership or Copy Trading add-on ends, lapses or a payment fails, we will remove your UID from the WIC master's copy group, usually within 1–2 business days of our daily check. Removal from the copy group does not close any open positions in your Bybit account — managing them is your responsibility.

6.2 We may also remove a UID immediately if required by law, by Bybit, or for misuse.

6.3 If you pay again after a lapse, send your UID again and we will review it as a new request.

7. No advice, no guarantees, no liability for copying

7.1 Copy Trading does not make Our Traders or us your adviser, manager or fiduciary. You alone decide whether to follow, how much to commit, and when to stop.

7.2 Copy trading with leverage can lose your entire allocation quickly. Read the Risk Disclosure before using it, and only use money you can afford to lose.

7.3 To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from Copy Trading, including losses from trades copied or not copied, copied late, at a different price or size, from positions left open after removal, or from any action or failure of Bybit, our bot or any third party. Section 11 of the Terms of Use applies.

8. Information we use

To run Copy Trading we store your Bybit UID, your request status and its history, and we share your UID with Bybit to add it to the copy group. Our staff receive alerts about requests. See the Privacy Policy.
