{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgbat6MAIcI>" %}

Margex Copy trading provides Traders with the opportunity to create a public Strategy which others can follow with their own capital. The Trader can trade with the follower’s funds and receive a success fee as a percentage of all profits generated for their followers from profitable trades.

To create a Strategy:

1. Navigate to the [Copy Trading](https://margex.com/app/copytrading/leaderboard) page and click ‘CREATE YOUR STRATEGY':
