1. Definitions

In this Agreement the following terms shall have the meanings set out below:

• "Copy Trading" means the service that allows you to automatically replicate the trades of a selected strategy provider in your own account.

2. Nature of Copy Trading

Copy trading is an automated service that replicates the trades of a selected strategy provider in your account proportionally to your allocated amount. It is important to understand that:

• Copy trading does not constitute investment advice from DB Finser
• DB Finser does not endorse, recommend or guarantee the performance of any strategy provider
• Past performance of any strategy provider is not indicative of future results
• You remain solely responsible for all trading activity in your account
• You may lose some or all of your allocated capital

3. Becoming a Copier

3.1 Eligibility

To use the copy trading service as a copier, you must:

• Have a verified and active trading account with DB Finser
• Have sufficient funds in your account to meet the minimum allocation requirements
• Have read and accepted this Copy Trading Agreement
• Acknowledge and accept the risks involved in copy trading

3.2 Selecting a Strategy Provider

When selecting a strategy provider to copy, you should carefully review:

• Their trading history and performance statistics
• Their risk level and drawdown history
• Their trading strategy and instruments traded
• Any applicable performance fees
• Their trading frequency and activity levels

4. Allocated Amount and Proportional Copying

4.1 Minimum Allocation

A minimum allocated amount is required to activate copy trading. The minimum allocation amount is displayed in the copy trading section of your client portal and may vary by strategy provider.

4.2 Proportional Trade Replication

Trades are replicated in your account proportionally based on your allocated amount relative to the strategy provider's account size. This means:

• Your trade sizes will be proportional to the strategy provider's trades
• Your profits and losses will reflect this proportional relationship
• Due to minimum trade size requirements, some trades may not be replicated exactly

5. Fees and Charges

5.1 Performance Fees

Some strategy providers may charge a performance fee based on profits generated in your account. Performance fees, where applicable, are displayed clearly before you begin copying a strategy provider. By selecting a strategy provider with a performance fee, you agree to pay that fee in accordance with the terms specified.

5.2 Spread and Trading Costs

Standard trading costs including spreads apply to all copy trades executed in your account, in the same manner as manual trades. These costs are separate from any performance fees charged by strategy providers.

6. Stopping Copy Trading

6.1 Pausing or Stopping

You may pause or stop copying a strategy provider at any time through your client portal. When you stop copying:

• No new trades from the strategy provider will be replicated in your account
• Existing open positions copied from that provider will remain open unless you close them manually
• Your allocated funds will be returned to your available balance

6.2 Automatic Termination

Copy trading may be automatically terminated if your account balance falls below the required minimum allocation, if the strategy provider's account is closed or suspended, or if DB Finser discontinues the copy trading service.
