To be able to start copying someone’s trades, first, you need to open your own live MT5 trading account. This is the account you will use to follow other experienced traders. It’s worth noting here that once you’ve got a live account, you always have the option to open additional sub-accounts, which gives you extra flexibility. For example, you could use one account for manual trading and another for copying trades. Next, you need to link your live MT5 account(s) to one of the accounts of experienced traders. Henceforth, you can see trades automatically happening in you account.
