Scope Markets Integrates Inverse Copy Trading Capabilities into MT5 Platform

Scope Markets Opens Copy Trading on MT5 with Inverse Execution Option

Execution is reported in the millisecond range through PLUGIT's YOONIT module. The deployment matters for systematic traders because it adds a second inverse-copy mode to a regulated MT5 venue, a structure previously uncommon on retail copy trading rails.

Replication Parameters

Copiers select providers and bind one or more Scope Markets accounts. Position sizing operates through three deterministic modes:

• Multiplier: scales provider volume by a fixed coefficient.
• Fixed volume: ignores provider position size, applies a constant lot count.
• Equity proportion: sizes each copy relative to the copier-to-provider equity ratio.

Maximum lot caps are user-defined at the account level. Routing is automatic once a provider is linked; manual intervention is not required per trade.

Fee Architecture and Drawdown Lock

Performance fees are set per provider within a 10% to 50% band. No fee is charged upfront, and no fee accrues on losing trades. A high-water mark mechanism blocks fee collection until the provider has recovered prior drawdown. John Murphy, Managing Director of Scope Markets, stated that the upper bound exceeds the roughly 30% cap common on competing copy trading platforms, and that providers charging at the top of the band must therefore justify it through sustained results.

The structure creates an asymmetric payout profile for the copier: zero cost on underperformance, capped profit share on recovered equity. Provider incentive remains aligned to net new high-water marks rather than to turnover.

Inverse Copy

The platform supports directional inversion. A provider's buy order is mirrored as a sell in the copier's account, and vice versa. Default replication remains one-to-one. Murphy indicated that beta-phase feedback drove the feature, with experienced users requesting the ability to trade against strategies they disagreed with rather than simply unfollowing them.

Eligible clients can also register as providers. Strategy visibility is configurable as public or private. Performance fee selection sits within the same 10–50% band for incoming providers.

Counterparty and Infrastructure Footprint

PLUGIT's YOONIT copy trading infrastructure is deployed across more than 100 brokers worldwide, per Maria Pittashi, General Manager of PLUGIT. Scope Markets operates regulated entities in six jurisdictions under the Rostro Group umbrella. The brokerage cited technology as part of the client relationship in its prior monthly commentary, framing the copy service as a continuation of that positioning rather than a standalone product launch.

Backtest Limitations

Performance data is drawn from the beta-phase replication log, not from independent audit. Sample size is 500,000 trades. No disclosed return distribution, Sharpe ratio, sortino ratio, maximum drawdown, or recovery time is published. Provider quality is unverified outside the high-water mark mechanic. Latency claims are vendor-reported. Past replicated performance does not constrain forward provider results; the high-water mark protects against double-charging but not against strategy decay or regime shift.
