Millisecond-level Latency in Price Synchronization (Slippage Risk)
1. Although the system synchronizes at high speeds, there is a very short time interval between the Master placing an order and the Follower's account automatically executing it.
2. During periods of extreme market volatility (such as sudden "spikes" or rapid pumps), the Master might open a position at $50,000, while you might open at $50,005. Even a small price difference, when amplified by leverage, will result in a deviation in the final ROI.
Position Gaps Caused by Failed Add-on Trades
1. A Master may "add to a position" multiple times to average down their entry cost. At these moments, if your account balance is insufficient or you have reached your preset "Max Follow Amount," the system will be unable to execute the add-on trade for you.
2. While the Master successfully lowers their average cost through these additional trades, your cost remains high because your follow failed, resulting in a smaller profit margin upon closing.
Cost Average Deviation Due to Fixed Amount Settings
1. The ratio of funds a Master uses for each add-on trade may vary (e.g., investing 10% the first time and 30% the second). If you have selected the "Fixed Amount" mode (e.g., strictly following with 100 USDT per trade), you will only follow with 100 USDT regardless of how much the Master increases their stake.
2. This prevents your average entry cost from staying in sync with the Master. When the Master achieves a "turnaround" victory through large-scale add-on trades, your average cost may still be stuck at a high level.
