Risks of trading

Read this before you start a setup. It's short, and it's about your own money.

You can lose money

Trading, including copy trading, is risky. You can lose part or all of your deposit. Only invest money you can afford to lose.

Leverage magnifies gains and losses

Many brokers work with leveraged products such as CFDs and forex. With leverage, small price movements can have a large effect on your balance, in both directions.

The past is no guarantee

Results a trader or strategy achieved in the past say nothing about what happens in the future. Even a strategy that did well for a long time can make losses.

Copying means: the same risk

With copy trading, someone else's trades are placed in your account automatically. You carry the result, including when that trader makes a mistake.

Partners charge their own costs

The broker and the strategy you start with charge their own costs, such as spreads, commissions or a share of your profit. These are listed for each setup. Always check them with the partner itself too.

Check the broker's licence

For each setup we list the regulator and licence the broker states. Check for yourself whether the broker is licensed to offer services in your country, for example in your national financial regulator's register and warning list.

No personal advice

MirrorPartners helps you set up accounts and offers a community. We don't give personal investment advice, don't manage your money and have no access to your accounts with partners. You decide yourself whether, how much and with what you trade.

How we earn

We receive an affiliate commission from the partners you start with through us. That means we have an interest in you starting with those partners. Keep that in mind when making your own decision.
