Public Copy Trading is a feature on the Zenit World platform that allows users to follow the trading activity of approved, experienced traders. By copying a strategy, users can automatically mirror the trader’s actions in real time — making it easier to engage in the market without managing trades manually.
This guide is designed to help users understand:
The purpose and value of Public Copy Trading
Key roles and terminology
How the feature works behind the scenes
What to consider in terms of risk, rewards, and control
How to use the feature responsibly and effectively
Whether you're new to trading or looking to streamline your strategy, Public Copy Trading provides a simple way to participate with transparency and control.
To get started with Public Copy Trading, it’s helpful to understand the core roles and concepts that define how the system works.
A Public Strategy is a trading strategy managed by an approved trader. This trader controls their own account and executes trades based on their chosen approach and expertise.
Once published, a Public Strategy can be discovered and followed by other users on the platform. When the strategy owner performs trading actions — such as opening, modifying, or closing a position — those same actions are mirrored automatically in the accounts of users who are copying the strategy.
Each strategy includes a profile with relevant information such as past performance, risk level, and reward-sharing details.
A Copy Trader is a user who chooses to follow a Public Strategy. When copying a strategy, the user’s account replicates the trading actions of the strategy owner in real time, based on the user’s allocation and personal settings.
Copy Traders remain in full control of their participation:
Allocate a specific amount of capital to copy the strategy
Define personal risk limits to manage exposure
Start or stop copying at any time with no restrictions
This role is designed to offer flexibility and ease of use, while giving users access to expert-level strategy execution.
Reward Sharing is the mechanism by which strategy owners are compensated for their performance. It works in a way that is transparent and directly linked to actual outcomes.
Here’s how it functions:
When a copied strategy performs successfully, the Copy Trader earns rewards based on their allocation.
A small portion of those rewards is shared with the strategy owner as a reward-sharing fee.
Reward sharing happens at regular intervals — typically hourly or daily — and is automatically processed by the platform.
This system ensures alignment between strategy owners and Copy Traders, creating a shared incentive for strong and consistent performance.
This section outlines the end-to-end experience for Copy Traders (Copiers) — users who choose to follow Public Strategies on the Zenit World platform. It covers the key steps involved in discovering, activating, and managing a copied strategy. Understanding each step in the copying process helps you stay in control of your trading activity, manage risk effectively, and make informed choices when engaging with Public Strategies.
This section explains the experience of a typical Zenit user when engaging with the Public Copy Trading feature from the perspective of following a strategy.
Step 1: Discover Public Strategies
From the main navigation bar, select “Copy Trading” to discover and follow trading strategies from experienced traders.
You’ll land on the Public Strategies Leaderboard, where you can browse top-performing strategies and explore their trading styles, performance history and key metrics.
Step 2: View Strategy Details
Each strategy card displays:
30-day Performance (%)
Number of trades and win ratio
Rewards in USD
Coins traded
Current number of copiers
Each card includes a visual reward trend line and performance metrics for transparency.
Copiers can see basic information to compare strategies quickly (e.g. high Performance vs. high consistency).
The “Copy” button is for strategies the user hasn't joined yet. Already copied strategies are marked as “Copied.”
Step 3: Start Copying a Public Strategy
Click “Copy” on any strategy card to open the configuration screen. Here, you can set up exactly how you want to copy the selected Public Strategy — from capital allocation to risk limits.
At the top of the screen, you’ll see the name and profile of the strategy you’re about to copy
Position Settings
You’ll need to choose what percentage of the strategy’s trade size you want to copy — for example, 10%, 50%, or 100%, depending on your risk appetite and available balance.
Minimum: 10%
Maximum: 100%
For example, if the strategy provider opens a trade worth $1,000 and you’ve selected 10%, a $100 trade will be automatically executed in your account.
Your available wallet balance is shown to help you make risk-aware decisions when setting up your copy configuration.
You can also choose to enable Take Profit / Stop Loss (TP/SL) based on percentage price changes, giving you more control over your risk exposure.
If you turn on the toggle “Define TP/SL by price change %”, two additional input fields will appear — letting you set your custom TP and SL levels:
Take Reward Per Position (%) Set a Take Reward level to automatically close a copied trade once your reward hits a specific percentage — so you can lock in gains without lifting a finger. ➤ Example: Setting 1% means the position will close once it has gained 1%.
Stop Loss Per Position (%) Set a Stop Loss level to automatically exit a copied trade if it drops to a certain percentage — helping you limit potential losses and manage your risk. ➤ Example: Setting 1% means the trade will close if it falls 1% below the entry price.
Once you’ve successfully started copying a strategy, you can head over to your Copier Dashboard — where you’ll be able to track performance, monitor open positions, and manage all aspects of your copy trading activity in one place.
