While Kudo Copy Trader is designed to copy trades as quickly as possible, a small delay between a Signal Provider opening a trade and the trade appearing on your account can occasionally occur.
In most cases, copy trading activity is processed within seconds. However, trade execution timing can be affected by several factors.
Market Volatility
During periods of high market activity, rapid price movements can result in slight delays while orders are processed and executed.
Internet and Connectivity Factors
The speed of communication between trading servers, the copy trading platform and your linked trading account can influence execution timing.
Trade Volume and Account Activity
If a Signal Provider has a large number of followers, the platform may need to process a significant number of copy requests simultaneously.
Market Liquidity
For certain instruments, execution speeds may vary depending on available market liquidity and prevailing trading conditions.
Account Restrictions or Margin Availability
If your account does not have sufficient available margin or does not meet the requirements to open a copied position immediately, this may impact trade execution.
It is important to understand that copy trading does not guarantee that trades will be executed at exactly the same price as the Signal Provider. Small differences in execution price, known as slippage, can occur in all forms of trading, particularly during volatile market conditions.
If you are experiencing significant delays or believe copied trades are not being executed correctly, please contact Kudo Support and provide your account details and examples of the affected trades so our team can investigate further.
