2026-04-14 08:0013693

To meet diverse investment needs and help users capture opportunities in traditional financial markets, Bitget is expanding its trading offering. Backed by leading global liquidity providers and the MT5 ecosystem, we're officially launching CFD copy trading, covering traditional financial products such as forex, stock indices, gold, and crude oil.

With this launch, CFD copy trading is fully integrated with Bitget's existing futures, spot, and bot copy trading products. Both elite traders and copiers can now manage multiple products from a single hub, enabling more efficient asset allocation and seamless transitions across trading scenarios. Combined with MT5's established global social trading ecosystem, this launch also gives users access to a broader range of professional investment strategies for a more professional and seamless copy trading experience.

App: Now available

Website: Expected in early May

2. CFD elite trader application guide

Step 1: Locate the portal

Open the Bitget app → tap TradFi at the bottom → tap CFD Copy Trading at the top → go to the CFD tab among the leaderboards in the copy trading hub → tap Become an Elite Trader in the top banner.

Step 2: Complete identity verification

If you haven't completed the required verification, the system will redirect you to the identity verification page. Once verification is complete, you can continue creating your elite portfolio.

Step 3: Create a CFD elite portfolio

Minimum investment: 100 USDT (transfer from your spot or funding account)
Default maximum profit share ratio: 20% (This ratio increases automatically as you level up as an elite trader. High-performing KOLs may contact their dedicated BDs to raise it to up to 30%)
Only USDT transfers are supported
You will receive an email notification once creation is complete

Step 4: The system automatically generates your MT5 elite trading account

No manual setup is required. The system will automatically create and bind a dedicated MT5 account for CFD elite trading in just 3 seconds. If you want to use the MT5 desktop client, you will need to reset your password in Elite Trading Zone > Features > CFD Information before logging in for the first time.

Step 5: Place orders in the CFD elite trading zone

Go to Copy Trading Hub > Trade or TradFi > CFD > CFD Copy Trading to start trading.

Only orders placed in the Elite Trading Zone will be copied by copiers. Trades placed in your main account will not be affected.

Step 6: Manage your elite portfolio

In the Elite Trader Center, you can view the following metrics:

Profit share records and unrealized profit share amounts (updated hourly)
Number of copiers and details
ROI, total profit, and assets under management (AUM)
You can adjust the profit share ratio, minimum copy trading amount (50–5000 USDT), and position protection settings at any time

Elite traders can close an elite portfolio at any time. After a portfolio is closed, the corresponding MT5 account will be archived, and you can create a new portfolio immediately. A new portfolio starts with a fresh set of performance statistics, with no historical data carried over, making it easier to restart and optimize your track record.

3. CFD copier guide

Step 1: Find the CFD copy trading leaderboard

Step 2: Browse elite traders

You can sort and filter by the following criteria:

Advanced filters: Set value ranges for more precise matching

4. Profit share rules

Bitget CFD copy trading uses a high-water-mark (HWM) profit share mechanism, under which profit share applies only to newly generated profits, ensuring fair and transparent profit distribution.

Profit share settlement cycle
1. Regular settlement: Profit share is settled automatically each day at 12:00 AM (UTC+8), provided the copier account has no open positions.
2. Immediate settlement: Triggered when a copier stops copying or an elite trader closes an elite portfolio.
Calculation logic
1. Total PnL (HWM) = realized net PnL (order PnL + fees + overnight interest) + unrealized PnL (floating PnL on open positions + overnight interest)
2. PnL already settled for profit share: Any amount already settled will not be included again in future settlements
3. PnL awaiting profit share settlement = total PnL – PnL already settled for profit share (only new profits will be settled)
4. Pending profit share amount = PnL awaiting profit share settlement × profit share ratio set by the elite trader (capped at 30%)
Additional notes
1. Elite traders can adjust the profit share ratio for an active elite portfolio at any time. After the adjustment, the new ratio applies only to profits generated afterward. Amounts that have already been settled are not affected.
2. If a copier transfers funds out and the pending profit share exceeds 30% of account equity after the transfer, the system will temporarily freeze the relevant amount. The frozen amount will be automatically returned at 12:00 AM each day, provided the copier has no open positions.
