FameEX Futures Copy Trading calculates profit sharing based on eligible profits generated by followers during each settlement period.

Q1: Can Lead Traders Change Their Selected Futures Trading Pairs?
A: Yes. Go to [Futures Copy Trading] and click [Lead Settings]. On the [Futures Lead Settings] page, select or deselect the trading pairs you want to use. Click [Save] to submit your changes. Available trading pairs and applicable restrictions are subject to the platform's current settings.
Q2: Why Are My Followers Unable to Copy Trades After I Enable Lead Trading?
A: Copy trading may fail due to insufficient available funds, trading pair settings, minimum order requirements, market price fluctuations, or risk control restrictions. Starting a trade as a Lead Trader does not guarantee successful execution for every follower. Please refer to the actual trading records on the platform.
Q3: Why Is My Profit Sharing Still Zero Even Though I Have Opened Lead Trades?
A: Profit sharing may remain at zero if followers have not successfully copied your trades or if the relevant positions are still open. It may also remain at zero if no eligible positive profit has been generated during the settlement period. Please check the [Profit Sharing] page and the platform's settlement records for details.
Q4: Do a Lead Trader's Historical Returns Guarantee Future Profits?
A: No. Historical ROI, win rate, and other trading performance metrics are provided for reference only. They do not guarantee future results. Lead Traders should manage their positions carefully and remain aware of market volatility, leverage risks, and potential liquidation.
