Help CenterTradingpro grants its providers the option to become private or public.
Private copy trade
Private Providers are hidden from the public listings (both in Ratings and in the Client Portal). The only way to follow such Providers is via a Join Link to their Offer.
Join Link is a web link leading to a Follower registration page where the Provider and the Offer are predefined. It can be used more conveniently to share a subscription link. Optionally, a Join Link may also have an expiration date after which the link becomes inactive (the Offer continues being active, though).
Being private can be helpful for Providers who do not want to share their strategy with broad audiences but only with a few people they know personally.
Offers can be private as well, such Offers are also available for Followers only via Join Link. Public Providers can utilize Private Offers as well. For example, the Join Link can be secretly shared somewhere externally, e.g., on social media, and the Followers proceed by getting a time-limited promotion with Performance Fee discounts from the Provider.
Public copy trade
In public copy trading, the trading activities of participants are visible to the broader community within the copy trading platform. Signal providers (experienced traders) make their trading strategies and performance data publicly available on the platform. Any user on the platform can choose to follow and replicate the trades of these public signal providers. Public copy trading platforms often emphasize a community aspect, where traders can share insights, discuss strategies, and learn from each other.
