[//]:content-type-MARKDOWN-DONOT-DELETE ## 1.Copying Logic Copying method: copy the position - copiers will place an order only after the lead trader has a position. How a lead trader places an order: the order price includes limit price and market price. How a copier places an order: only the market price is available. Trading logic of orders: the copiers will copy the operations of the lead trader. When the lead trader closes the position, the copier will also close the position. Some orders may be split into multiple different orders, and the final transaction time of different split sub-orders may be different. ## 2. Potential Problems **The income difference between the orders of the lead trader and copier: **If the lead trader places an order according to the limit price and the copier's order is placed according to market price, since each order may be split into multiple sub-orders when closing the position, it may cause a different closing time. In this case, if you encounter a future with poor liquidity, it will lead to a large difference between the copier's order of market price and the lead trader's order of limit price, resulting in a difference in the order's income. **For example: **The lead trader places an order at 14:40 according to the limit price of 1000, which is split into two sub-orders. One sub-order is placed at 14:41, with the market price being 1001, and the other is placed at 14:42, with the market price being 998. Finally, the closing price of the order for the lead trader is 1000, and the average closing price of the copier is 999.5. That is, there is a different income for this order between the lead trader and the copier. ## 3. How to avoid this problem?
