Guides, answers, and support.

Everything you need to get from first login to a running copy setup — honest onboarding steps, real product guides, and a searchable FAQ.

Getting started

From sign-up to copying in four steps.

No VPS to rent, no terminal to install. The whole flow takes a few minutes — and you see every provisioning step as it happens.

1
About a minute

Create your account

Sign up with email and password, or continue with Google. Your workspace is ready the moment you land on the dashboard.

2
A minute or two

Connect your first account

Enter your account details once and TradeFuse provisions a dedicated cloud MetaTrader 5 terminal for it — credentials are encrypted server-side and never stored in plaintext. Have these ready:

MT5 loginBroker nameServerInvestor / master password
3
Typically a couple of minutes

Watch it come live

Provisioning happens in front of you with real checkpoints — not a spinner:

  • Credentials encrypted
  • Server reserved
  • MetaTrader launched
  • Signed in at broker
  • Balance & trades syncing
4
A few minutes, start to finish

Create your first copy rule

Choose a master, select one or many followers in a single step, pick a risk preset — 1:1 Fixed, Risk Scaled, or Prop Firm Safe — then fine-tune the four risk fields:

Lot multiplierMax open positionsDaily loss limit ($)Max drawdown (%)

Honest timing: most of the wait is your cloud terminal being provisioned and signed in at the broker — typically a couple of minutes, with every checkpoint shown live.

Guides

Short guides. Straight answers.

Six focused reads covering the parts of TradeFuse people ask about most. Each one describes exactly what the product does — nothing more.

Choosing a risk preset

Every copy rule starts from a preset — a starting point, not a lock-in. 1:1 Fixed (1.00x)mirrors the master’s position sizing exactly. Risk Scaled (0.50x) copies every position at half size. Prop Firm Safe (0.25x) copies at quarter size — a conservative default for funded and evaluation accounts. After picking one, you can fine-tune four fields on the rule itself:

  • Lot multiplierScales every copied position. Enforced by the follower’s terminal on each copy.
  • Max open positionsA hard cap, also enforced by the follower terminal — once the follower is at the cap, new copies are skipped.
  • Daily loss limit ($)A per-rule setting that documents the daily loss boundary you set for that rule.
  • Max drawdown (%)A per-rule setting that documents the drawdown boundary you accept on that rule.

A distinction worth being clear about: the multiplier and position cap are enforced by the follower terminal. The daily-loss and drawdown fields make your risk plan explicit and reviewable per rule — they are settings you define, and monitoring against them remains part of your own trading process.

Cross-broker symbol mapping

Brokers name the same instrument differently. Gold is XAUUSD at one broker and GOLDat another; some brokers add suffixes to every symbol. When a master and a follower live at different brokers, a copy can only be placed if the follower’s terminal knows which local symbol corresponds to the master’s.

TradeFuse auto-seeds sensible default mappings when your accounts connect, so common instruments work out of the box. For broker-specific names, each rule can carry custom pairs — map XAUUSD ↔ GOLD once on the rule and every copy translates automatically.

Every pair also has its own enable toggle, so you decide exactly which instruments a rule is allowed to copy — and which it should ignore entirely.

Reading your analytics

The journal computes its headline metrics from your real closed trades. What each one means:

  • Win rateThe percentage of closed trades that ended profitable.
  • Profit factorGross profit divided by gross loss. Above 1.0 means winners outweighed losers over the range.
  • Risk : rewardThe size of your average winning trade relative to your average losing trade.
  • Max drawdown (%)The deepest peak-to-trough decline across the selected range.
  • Net vs grossNet includes commission, swap, and fees; gross is raw price P&L. A toggle switches every chart and stat between the two.

Filter everything by account — one, several, or all — and by range: 7D, 30D, month, all-time, or a custom date span. Per-account starting balances keep the balance curves honest, and your profile timezone drives how trades bucket into days.

You don’t start from zero, either: your broker trade history is imported when an account connects, so the journal is populated from day one.

Understanding the P&L calendar

The calendar shows your trading month as a day-by-day P&L grid: each day carries its result, every week row has a weekly total, and your best day of the month gets a marker. A yearly heat table sits alongside it for the long view — twelve months at a glance.

Click any day to drill down: the day’s trades, plus an hourly P&L chart that shows how the session actually unfolded.

One setting matters more than any other here: your profile timezone decides where one trading day ends and the next begins. Set it before comparing the calendar to broker statements — the same trades bucketed in a different timezone can land on different days.

Fail-closed copying

Fail-closedmeans the default state is “do not copy.” A follower account never copies a trade until an active rule explicitly arms it. Connect a fresh follower and it copies nothing — no surprise trades, ever. No rule, no copying.

Pausing works the same way: hit pause on a rule or an account and the stop propagates to the cloud terminal in about 20 seconds. Nothing copies again until you resume, and pausing keeps all of your settings and history intact.

And instead of quoting speed claims, TradeFuse measures: every copied trade records its real replication latency in milliseconds — visible per copy, per rule, and as a live average. You judge the numbers yourself.

Masters & followers

A master is a source account — the one whose trades get replicated. A follower is a destination — it receives copies according to the rules that reference it. One master can fan out to many followers, each with its own multiplier and caps.

You can switch an account’s role, but not while copy rules still reference it — that guard prevents a rule from silently pointing at an account whose meaning changed. Remove or reassign the rules first, then switch.

A broker login can only be connected by one TradeFuse user, so ownership of every terminal and its history stays unambiguous.

Finally, pause versus delete: pausing stops copying and syncing but keeps the account, its settings, and its history — resume whenever you like. Deleting is permanent and deliberately heavy: you type a confirmation phrase before anything is removed. If in doubt, pause.
