Posted: Sat Aug 15, 2026 5:34 pm
To become a top trader on TopTrades you will need to be using one of the supported trading platforms that works with our trade copier. Note: If you don't use one of the supported trading platforms you can integrate our trade copier client into your trading strategy.
Create your TopTrades trader account and we will provide you with the software to get your live real-time trades listed on the TopTrades main home page for all the world to see. Once you have a history of 100+ trades you will start to be ranked and shown in the top traders section where you become eligible for subscriptions from folllowers.
Top Traders earn 50% of all subscription revenue generated by their followers.

The Operational Protection of "Signal-Only" Trading
Operating purely as a trade signal provider on TopTrades gives you three massive advantages as your network grows:
1. Zero Regulatory Friction:
Since you do not have direct access to your follower's login credentials or API keys - and you aren't physically managing their funds - you are operating solely as a publisher of data.
2. No Liability:
If a follower mis-calculates their contract or lot sizing or sets their slippage cap incorrectly in the trade copier settings, your own transparent trading track record on TopTrades keeps you safe from being blamed for the follower's own mistake.
3. Automated Operational Freedom:
You don't have to manage your followers, or configure your follower accounts, or provide any tech support. The TopTrades network simply acts as a digital mailman to deliver your real-time trade information to your followers. Followers have complete control of how your trade signals will be executed in their account.
