How do I set up copy trading on Bybit?
Connect your Bybit API key to AO Shadow (Account Settings), then tap "Copy" on any signal from the verified traders you want to follow. Shadow automatically places your entry at market, all four take-profit levels, stop-loss, and DCA on your Bybit account. Your position size and leverage are fully under your control.
What is AO Shadow's copy trading feature?
AO Shadow's copy trading lets you automatically copy signals from verified traders directly to your Bybit account. When a trader opens a position, Shadow places the entry, all exits (TP1-TP4), stop-loss, and DCA orders automatically with your chosen position size. You're trading their strategy without doing the analysis or manual order management.
Do I need to connect my Bybit account?
Yes, you'll generate a Bybit API key (Account Settings > API Management) and link it to AO Shadow for secure order placement. Your funds stay in your Bybit wallet with no third-party custody. The API key lets Shadow place orders on your behalf, but you keep full control of your account and can revoke access anytime.
Can I control my position size when copying?
Yes, you set your position size and leverage when you copy each signal. Shadow scales the trader's take-profit and stop-loss structure proportionally to your sizing. If the leader risked $500 and you choose to risk $100, all your targets and stops adjust to match your account.
What happens when a trader closes their position?
Your position doesn't automatically close when the leader closes theirs. You hit your own take-profit or stop-loss independently on your Bybit account. This gives you freedom to hold for bigger moves or exit earlier based on your own trading decision.
How much does Shadow's copy trading cost?
AO Shadow's copy trading is included in the premium subscription with a free trial available (then $29/month). You can test it and all features completely free with no credit card during your trial. After the trial, you get unlimited copying, trader history, and access to all verified AO Trading traders.
Can I copy multiple traders at once?
Yes, you can follow as many traders as you want and copy their signals independently. Each signal becomes a separate trade on your Bybit account. Check each trader's track record on the AO Trading dashboard (aotrading.io/results) to see their win rates and verify they match your trading style before you copy.
What's the difference between free and premium for copy trading?
The free Shadow's trade protection tier includes position management and manual signal viewing, but copy trading is premium only ($29/month). With the premium plan, Shadow automates entry, all exits, and DCA placement. Free users can view signals and trade manually on Bybit, but don't get automated copying.
How do I check if a trader is profitable before copying?
Every AO Trading trader has a public profile at aotrading.io/results with their win rate, average profit, and total trades. The premium plan also shows each trader's completed signal history with entry, exit, duration, and final PnL. You can review their past performance before copying their signals. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Does Shadow automatically place stop losses?
Yes, when you copy a signal, Shadow places the trader's stop-loss level on your Bybit account automatically. Your SL is independent, so changes to the leader's SL don't affect yours. You can adjust your stop-loss anytime if you want tighter or looser risk management.
