Goal

Understand when Binance copy trading parameter changes take effect, how the rules differ for different parameters, and where the setup entry is.

Step 1: Check Your Role to Know the Rules

Rules for Copy Traders Changing Parameters

  • If you are a copy trader, you can adjust your own copy trading settings.

  • Items you can change include: copy amount, fixed amount/fixed ratio mode, maximum opening slippage, take profit and stop loss settings, leverage multiple, and coin preference.

  • How it takes effect: after you edit and save, it applies immediately to new orders but does not affect existing open positions.

Setup Entry for Copy Trader Parameters

  • App: open Binance App → [Futures] → [Copy Trading] → tap your copy project → [Edit Copy Settings] → enter the parameter panel and make changes.

  • Web: log in to Binance official website → [Trade] → [Copy Trading] → select the project → [Settings] or [Edit Copy Settings].

High-risk warning: maximum opening slippage takes effect immediately after the change, but it only protects the entry price when opening a position. New positions opened after the change will use the new slippage, while existing positions are not protected.

Rules for Lead Traders Turning On "Force Sync"

  • If you are a lead trader, you can force copy traders to sync your updated settings.

  • Limit 1: you can only turn on or update "Force Sync" up to 2 times per day.

  • Limit 2: after each turn-on or update, you cannot place orders for 30 seconds.

  • Item not synced: "Total Stop Loss" will not be synced because each copy trader has a different risk preference, so they must set it manually.

Force Sync setup entry: go to [My Lead Trades] → project details page → find the "Force Sync" switch. After it is turned on, copy traders will receive an email notification.

Step 2: Other Parameter Change Rules for Lead Traders

If you only adjust profit-sharing ratio, maximum number of copy traders, minimum copy amount, lock-up period, and similar parameters, the changes take effect immediately. However, there are two limits:

  • Profit-sharing ratio: cannot be changed after the project is successfully created.

  • Closing project: you cannot end a project while there are open positions. After closing a project, a 72-hour cooling-off period may be triggered (if closed within 7 days and total project PnL is negative). During the cooling-off period, you cannot open a new project.

How to Check Success

  • Copy trader: after editing and saving, your copy amount/slippage/leverage will follow the new parameters the next time the lead trader opens a position.

  • Lead trader: after turning on Force Sync, copy traders receive an email notification, and you can place orders normally after 30 seconds.
