On a losing copy, the trader takes no share, but you carry the full loss yourself.
This is a what-if calculator. The return you enter is your own assumption, not a prediction, and past performance never guarantees future results. Copy trading carries real risk and you can lose money. Not financial advice.

What this calculator shows
Copy trading lets you mirror an experienced trader's positions in your own account. In return, the trader takes a profit share, a percentage of the gains they make for you, charged only when you are in profit. This tool makes that trade-off concrete: you enter an amount, a return, and the profit share, and it shows your gross profit, the trader's cut, and what you actually keep.
The key insight is asymmetry. The profit share applies only to gains, but losses are entirely yours. So a great trader is worth the cut, and a bad one costs you twice: the loss, and the risk you took to chase it. The return you type in is an assumption you choose, not a forecast, so use it to compare scenarios, not to predict the future.
How the numbers work
- Gross profit is your amount times the return you entered.
- The trader's profit share is taken only from a positive gross profit, never from a loss.
- Your net profit is the gross profit minus the trader's cut, and the final balance adds that to your starting amount.
Copy trading calculator FAQ
How does copy trading profit sharing work?
When you copy a trader, they take a percentage of the profit they generate for you, called profit share. It is charged only on net gains, usually on a high-water-mark basis so you are not charged twice for the same gains, and settled periodically. If a copied position loses money, no profit share is taken on it. BingX, for example, charges 10% on spot and 10 to 32% on futures depending on the trader's tier.
Do I pay a fee if I lose money copying a trader?
You do not pay a profit share on losses, since it only applies to gains. But you still bear the full loss yourself. That is the asymmetry to remember: the trader shares your upside but not your downside, so choosing a trader carefully and sizing small matters more than the fee.
How much can you make copy trading?
There is no fixed answer, and anyone promising one is not being honest. Your result depends entirely on the trader you pick and the market, and many copiers lose money. This calculator shows a scenario you set, not a prediction. Use it to understand how the profit share eats into returns, then judge a trader on real, long-term stats, not a hot streak.
Where can I start copy trading?
Several mainstream exchanges offer it. BingX lets you copy from as little as 5 USD with thousands of providers, and KuCoin and Bybit run copy trading too. Whichever you use, check the live profit share, minimums and the trader's full track record first. This is general information, not financial advice.
