# Manage Copy Trading

> Use Following, Activity, and Auto-copy together to keep track of who you watch and what your account is copying.

The Copy traders section separates research, monitoring, and automation into different views.

That makes it easier to understand what your account is actually doing.

## Discover

Use **Discover** to find new traders and compare performance.

This is where research starts.

## Following

Use **Following** for traders you have saved but are not necessarily copying.

Think of this as your watchlist for trader accounts.

## Activity

Use **Activity** to review recent copy-trading and followed-trader activity.

If something in your account surprises you, Activity is one of the first places to check.

## Auto-copy

Use **Auto-copy** to review the traders and settings connected to automated copying.

This is the highest-impact view because it controls activity that can create or change positions without a manual order each time.

## A simple weekly check

Even if you do not trade manually every day, review copy trading regularly:

1. Check open positions.
2. Check available margin.
3. Review recent copy activity.
4. Compare copied traders with why you originally followed them.
5. Review auto-copy settings and exposure.
6. Remove or change anything that no longer fits.

## Keep manual and copied risk together

Copied positions still use the same account.

If you also trade manually, look at the combined exposure rather than evaluating copied positions separately.

Two individually reasonable trades can create too much account risk when they are highly correlated or use the same collateral.
