Copy trading

Status: Primarily roadmap / prototype — treat capabilities described here as directional until a release explicitly marks them Shipped in-app and in these docs.

​
What we mean by copy trading

Following or mirroring another trader’s fills or signals with explicit consent, risk limits, and transparent mechanics — not opaque shadow trading.

​
Quant Hub vault model (V2)

QuantDesk V2 social trading uses Quant Vaults — leader-run strategies backed by the same unified PortfolioAccount infrastructure as solo traders.
[!NOTE] On-chain vault instructions exist in the V2 program, but end-user copy-trading flows remain prototype / roadmap in the app. Treat API and program details here as integrator orientation, not a shipped product guarantee.

​
Roles

​
100bps slippage band

Social vault trades are bound to ±100 basis points of the oracle mid. Orders outside this band fail with SlippageExceeded — protecting followers from leaders executing at abusive prices during volatile windows. This invariant is documented for traders in Protocol and fairness and for integrators in Errors and rate limits.

​
Discovering leaders

The gateway exposes ranked leaders at GET /api/v2/leaderboard — see V2 API endpoints.

​
Why it matters for QuantDesk

Active traders often learn faster when they can:
  • Observe real execution context (not only signals)
  • Apply size and risk caps to copied notionals
  • Pause or disconnect copying instantly

​
Honest scope today

  • Public docs describe intent and design constraints.
  • Concrete buttons, routes, and fees ship per release — watch release notes and in-app labels.

​
Risks (always disclose)

  • Past performance does not predict future results
  • Slippage and latency differ between leader and follower
  • Regulatory obligations vary by jurisdiction — obtain your own advice
