Trading well and want to let others copy your trades while earning profit shares? Binance's copy trading platform lets skilled traders become lead traders and earn a share of their followers' profits.
Becoming a lead trader requires a Binance account with completed identity verification. Find the "Become a Lead Trader" application in the Binance App copy trading section.
Application Requirements
Basic: Completed KYC, futures trading history, minimum account balance.
Performance: Recent positive returns, accumulated trading volume, reasonable risk management track record.
Application Process
- Binance App → Copy Trading → "Become a Lead Trader"
- Review and confirm conditions
- Fill in personal info and trading style description
- Set profit share ratio (your percentage of followers' profits)
- Submit and wait for review (several business days)
How Much Can You Earn?
Revenue comes from profit sharing — when followers profit, you take a percentage (typically 10%-20% that you set). Factors: number of followers, their investment amounts, your win rate and returns.
Attracting More Followers
- Consistent positive returns over short-term windfalls
- Controlled drawdowns — keep max drawdown under 10%-20%
- Clear profile: Describe your trading style, preferred coins, risk management
- Stay active — inactive lead traders lose followers
- Avoid extreme leverage — one blowup loses all followers
Important Notes
Transparency: All your futures trades are visible to followers, including losses.
Responsibility: While not legally liable for follower losses, maintain ethical trading practices.
Position management: Your position sizes proportionally affect followers.
You can exit lead trader status anytime — existing copy relationships auto-dissolve. But give followers notice by updating your profile first.
Becoming a lead trader monetizes your trading skills, but remember: consistent profitability is the core competitive advantage that attracts followers.
