}Copy Trading
Follow a lead trader or edit a follow
Follow a lead trader or edit a follow.
Without followId, creates a follow: allocation moves from your margin
account into a new copy account for this leader, and from then on the
leader’s fills are mirrored into it. With followId, edits that follow
(it must be yours): the leader comes from the follow, so an edit works even
after the leader releases their handle, and leader may be empty; a
leader handle that names a different leader is refused. copyExisting
copies the leader’s open positions into the new copy account at creation
(see PreviewFollow for what that costs); it applies only to a create, and
an edit that sets it is refused.

monacoSignaturemonacoHttpSignature
Ed25519 session-key request signing. Every authenticated request carries three headers: X-Monaco-PublicKey (64-char lowercase-hex session public key), X-Monaco-Timestamp (Unix milliseconds, within 30s of server time), and X-Monaco-Signature (hex ed25519 signature). The signature is over METHOD\npath?query\ntimestamp_ms\nSHA256_hex(body), where the body hash is the SHA-256 of the empty byte string when there is no body. Obtain the session keypair from POST /api/v1/auth/challenge followed by POST /api/v1/auth/verify.
Body
application/json
Omit to create a follow; set to edit one of your follows
The leader's custom TraderCode handle; required on a create, optional on an edit (a consistency check when it resolves)
Example:
"alpha_trader"
FOLLOW (default: the leader's risk bucket mode per market), CROSS or ISOLATED
Example:
"FOLLOW"
PROPORTIONAL (default: scaled by copy account equity over the leader's equity) or FIXED_MARGIN
Example:
"PROPORTIONAL"
Margin per leader order in quote units; required for FIXED_MARGIN, omitted otherwise
FOLLOW (default: the leader's leverage) or FIXED
Example:
"FOLLOW"
Leverage for every copy; required for FIXED, omitted otherwise
Collateral for the copy account, in quote units, at or above the minimum
Example:
"1000"
Copy stop-loss as a fraction of the allocation in (0, 1]; omitted means none
Example:
"0.25"
On a create, also copy the leader's currently open positions into the new copy account, sized like any mirrored fill (PreviewFollow shows the cost). Default false. Refused on an edit
Markets to copy; omit to copy every market the leader trades.
