Before you hit Subscribe on a RoboForex Copy Trading strategy, run a drawdown-first checklist: max DD vs your written loss limit, history age, regularity, capital fit, live fee + period, and red flags (grid/martingale stairs, opaque books). Use the rating to inspect; use the hub for dated notes — never invent numbers in a blog post.
Write the limits before you open the rating
Write the limits before you open the rating — if you skip this step, Yield will choose for you.
- Hard loss limit for this copy account (money you can lose without revenge-depositing).
- Max DD ceiling you will tolerate on the trader’s shown history (same period filter you will use).
- Max fee you will accept for that risk shape (read live — see fees).
- One trader per account rule if you follow the silo approach (silo strategy).
If you skip this step, Yield will choose for you.
Checklist (print / screenshot blank fields only)
| # | Check | Pass if… | Fail / pause if… |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Max drawdown | Shown max DD ≤ your written ceiling for the same period filter. | DD blank, inconsistent, or above your ceiling. |
| 2 | History age | Enough continuous history that one month is not the whole story. | Very new book + bold claims. |
| 3 | Regularity | Equity path is not a single spike. | One vertical month then flat / messy. |
| 4 | Capital / min deposit | Your funded equity meets platform + trader minimums with margin headroom. | You must stretch to meet the min (mins by account). |
| 5 | Fee % + period | You recorded the live performance fee (or No Commission) and 1/2/4-week period. | You “remembered” a blog % instead of the profile. |
| 6 | Style red flags | You understand how risk might scale (grid/martingale stairs, floating baskets). | Smooth curve + deep hidden DD risk you cannot explain. |
| 7 | Copy mode plan | You chose Proportional / Classic / Fixed on purpose (modes). | Default mode with no size math. |
| 8 | Stop rule | You wrote when to pause/cancel (when to stop). | “I’ll see how it goes.” |
| 9 | Hub date | If a fiche exists on the hub, you checked its date vs live rating. | Acting on an expired note as if it were live. |
| 10 | Eligibility / risk | Country allowed; you accept CFD risk and disclosures. | EU/EEA/UK assumptions on an offshore product you are not eligible for — see safe/legit. |

- Compare current DD to your stop rule.
- Re-read fee / period if the trader can change conditions (often Monday-effective per Help).
- Check reserved commission if a withdrawal looks blocked.
- Prefer pause/cancel over “averaging down” emotional deposits.

Can I skip the checklist if a friend sent a trader name?
No. Names are not due diligence. Open the live profile, fill the table, and ignore chat screenshots of Yield.
Where do Copy10X named fiches live?
Only on the dated Traders hub when validated. This checklist article never invents performance or fee percentages for named strategies.
What if every strategy fails the DD ceiling?
Do not subscribe. Raise skill on reading the rating, lower size ambitions, or stay in cash. “Must be in the market” is not a plan.
