Can I connect third-party copy-trading or social-trading tools to my broker?

Whether you can use third‑party copy‑trading or social‑trading tools depends on your broker’s supported platforms and integrations. Some brokers offer built‑in social features, letting you follow and automatically copy the trades of selected signal providers. Others integrate with external services or allow APIs and bridge software that connect your account to a copy network. Before linking such tools, confirm that the broker permits automated trade copying and that the connection method is secure. It is also essential to understand how risk is handled: you should know position sizing rules, maximum drawdown, and whether you can stop copying quickly if performance deteriorates. While copy trading can simplify decision‑making, you still need to evaluate providers carefully and avoid relying blindly on past results.
