Copy Trading Requirements: IQQ Copy Trading, Broker Setup and Fee Models Explained

Anyone who wants to trade professional strategies in Gold and major Forex pairs without placing orders manually must first understand the essential copy trading requirements. The IQQ Copy Trading system provides private traders with access to fully automated, institutional-grade strategies running 24/5 on our own infrastructure. This article explains the requirements, the ideal broker setup, the onboarding process and all available fee models. The goal is to provide a complete, transparent guide for anyone interested in joining a structured and realistic copy trading solution.

1. Copy Trading Requirements for IQQ Copy Trading

One of the most important copy trading requirements is having a sufficiently funded trading account. For the IQQ Copy Trading system, we recommend a minimum balance of 1,000 USD. Anything below this amount typically leads to position sizes that are too small, distorted risk-to-reward ratios and irregular performance curves. A properly funded account ensures that all strategies can be scaled correctly and maintain consistent trading logic.

Another key requirement is the correct account type. IQQ Copy Trading requires a RoboForex PRO Account. This account provides tight spreads, transparent commissions and reliable execution – all crucial for accurate copying of trades. During registration, users must enter the referral code “ajlr” to link their account to the copy trading infrastructure. The system supports MT4, MT5 and cTrader, making it compatible with the platforms most traders already use.

2. Why the RoboForex PRO Account Is Essential

Many beginners underestimate how much different brokers can affect copy trading performance. Liquidity providers, slippage, spreads, execution times and server locations can vary dramatically. If master and follower accounts do not operate under similar trading conditions, performance will inevitably diverge.

By standardizing the setup through the RoboForex PRO Account, we ensure near-identical trading conditions for all users. This provides several critical advantages:

• stable and fast execution with fewer delays
• minimal slippage between master and follower accounts
• consistent spreads and commissions
• accurate mirroring of trades with fewer deviations
• greater transparency and fewer technical issues

Using a different broker is possible, but only on request and with manual approval. For most users, the standardized PRO account setup results in the most stable and predictable copy trading environment.

3. The Trader Cockpit – Your Central Control Panel

After completing the copy trading requirements and opening the trading account, users gain access to the Trader Cockpit. This dashboard acts as the central control panel for all accounts, strategies and risk settings. Users can connect their MT4, MT5 or cTrader accounts, choose their preferred strategy and adjust their personal risk multiplier between 0.5x and 3x.

The Cockpit also provides real-time insights into the equity curve, active trades, account history and overall account health. This transparency allows traders to monitor performance easily while still benefiting from fully automated execution. It is especially helpful for busy individuals who cannot actively monitor the markets.

4. Verified Strategies on MyFXBook

Transparency is a core principle of IQQ Copy Trading. All offered strategies are fully verified on MyFXBook. Traders can inspect performance metrics, drawdowns, risk parameters and historical trading behavior before connecting their accounts. This level of insight helps ensure that users select strategies that match their personal goals and risk tolerance.

5. Fee Model 1: Performance Fee with High-Water-Mark

The first fee model uses a classic performance fee with a High-Water-Mark structure. A one-time setup fee of 149 EUR is charged at the beginning. After that, a weekly performance fee is applied to realised profits only. Thanks to the High-Water-Mark, users only pay for new profits above the previous peak. Losses must be recovered first before any new fee can be charged. This is one of the fairest profit-sharing models in the industry.

6. Fee Model 2: Flat Subscription with No Performance Fee

For traders who prefer predictable monthly costs, there is the Flat Subscription. For 59 EUR per month, users gain access to all current and future strategies with no additional performance fees. The recommended minimum balance of 1,000 USD still applies, as does the requirement to use the RoboForex PRO account. Subscriptions can be managed or cancelled at any time via the Stripe customer portal.
