6. FAQ
Q1: Why did my Copy Trading Protection voucher become invalid after I claimed it?
A: Copy Trading Protection vouchers have a validity period before use. Please use the voucher before it expires.
Once a voucher has been successfully used for copy trading, it will no longer become invalid when its claim validity period ends. However, if you cancel or stop copying the corresponding lead trader, the coverage will be terminated.
Q2: Why didn't I receive compensation when a loss occurred on a position protected by the voucher?
A: Vouchers only cover losses that result from the lead trader closing a position and that meet the compensation rules, including:
- Active position close: The lead trader actively closes their position, and the user completes the corresponding copy close.
- Passive position close: The lead trader is passively closed out due to forced liquidation or other uncontrollable factors, and the user completes the corresponding copy close.
Other circumstances are not eligible for compensation, including but not limited to:
- The user actively cancels or stops copy trading.
- The user actively closes the position.
- A copy stop loss set by the user is triggered and closes the position.
- The lead trader does not open an eligible position after the copy trading relationship is established.
- The lead trader or the platform terminates the copy trading relationship with the user.
- Other non-compensable circumstances specified on the voucher page, in the activity rules, or otherwise agreed by the platform.
Q3: How do I confirm whether my voucher applies to Futures Copy Trading or CFD Copy Trading?
A: Each Copy Trading Protection voucher clearly indicates the applicable business type. Before using it, check the business label on the voucher to confirm whether it applies to Futures Copy Trading or CFD Copy Trading.
