A Step-By-Step Guide to Spot Copy Trading With Bitget
Trading has many facets and one of them is taking advantage of the experience of leading traders through a strategy known as copy trading. Considering the growing interest towards risk-minimizing options for trading, similar instruments have been spotted on the market before. Leading cryptocurrency exchange Bitget managed to introduce copy trading in full and make it both accessible and comprehensive to users on a massive scale.
Enter Bitget
Bitget, established in 2018, is the world’s leading crypto derivatives exchange with a core focus on social trading. The exchange currently serves over 8 million users in more than 100 countries worldwide by providing them with one-stop trading solutions aimed at increasing crypto adoption, and has became the largest crypto copy trading platform.
In early 2023, Bitget took a bold step in opening up the cryptocurrency market to a broader audience of traders by becoming the first centralized exchange in the world to launch a copy trading service for the spot market. The new flagship product, dubbed One-Click Copy Trade, is meant to become an intuitive experience for spot traders and a go-to solution for newcomers into the cryptocurrency market.
What Is Copy Trading?
If put in simple terms, copy trading is the process of literally copying an experienced trader’s strategies and trades. Users who either do not have the time or necessary experience to conduct an in-depth technical analysis to derive their strategies or trading algorithms can resort to the actions of other traders and shadow their trading portfolio to increase the possibility of making profitable trades. Given the fact that most professional traders conduct technical analysis on a routine basis, tapping into their experience is a surefire way of compiling a comprehensive overview of the market situation and potential forecasts on asset price movements.
The given approach not only provides a fast track into trading, but also gives all new players a readymade playbook to follow. The transparency that comes with copy trading also discloses the selected trader’s returns, trading history, applied methods and strategies, and portfolio makeup. Combined with a variety of trading tools like Maximum Investment, Stop Loss and Take Profit options, copy trading is ideal for both novice and experienced traders seeking ways of simplifying and enhancing their trading operations.
Advantages of Copy Trading
One of the biggest advantages of copy trading for beginners is that it provides them with an instant and digested overview of broader market dynamics based on the actions of experienced traders. The ability to track a real trader’s moves and trades illustrates the logic behind every operation. This creates a tentative connection between market movements and human reactions to them aimed at making a profit or safeguarding portfolio assets. The convenience of the approach is further bolstered by the availability of a wide variety of trader strategies on offer, each suited for individual preferences and risk appetites. Add to that the possibility of selecting traders based on individual preferences and filters, and copy trading becomes akin to shopping for expected yields.
The ability to find traders whose actions align with preferred strategies and limit orders saves an immense amount of time that would have otherwise been spent on keeping constant tabs on the market, order books, trading volumes and so on. Elite traders have perfected and nearly automated their strategies to take into account every possible scenario, making copy trading of their actions an ideal option for users willing to both learn from the best and enhance the yield-generating performance of their portfolios.

Once done, it’s required to access the ‘Copy Trading’ section and click on the ‘Spot Copy Trading’ button. The section opens with a selection of traders available for copying along with a filter setup based on total equity, transaction history, follower counts and other criteria. Once a trader has been selected based on individual preferences, the user is required to press the ‘Copy’ button next to the trader’s profile and start on their path to copy trading. After agreeing to Bitget’s Terms and Conditions the user is redirected to a settings page where they can tune the selected trading option and customise following of the selected trader’s strategies.
The application allows traders to invest a fixed amount of equity from $10 to $3,000 once the selected trader responds to the request.

The page also provides users with the ability to access the ‘Risk Management’ section and adjust take profit, maximum investment, stop loss and take profit limits. Experienced traders looking for fine-tuning individual trades and more customized options, can use the ‘Advanced Settings’ section.
Once all the adjustments have been made, users need to press the ‘Follow’ button to start following the selected trader. On the profile page, traders can also find the ‘My Copy Trades’ section that gives a detailed overview of their orders and the traders they are following. The section gives users the opportunity to adjust every open order and how they are followed.
That’s it, the copy trading option has been successfully launched and users can now watch their copy trading in action.
How to Find a Trader to Follow
Finding a trader to follow is not always an easy task for a number of reasons. First, there are hundreds of successful traders posting their trading strategies on the platform, each with their own advantages and shortcomings. As such, novice traders should pay special attention to a number of key criteria that can help them identify a trader whose strategies best suit their expectations for successful trading.
First and foremost, consistent gains over the long term are a surefire sign of a successful trader. Truly keen traders with a special connection to the market’s vibe retain high performance throughout bearish and bullish markets alike.
The second key factor is risk appetite. All traders apply risk management in one way or another, however, some have a higher risk tolerance threshold than others. The higher the risk – the higher the potential for profits, but so is the possibility of losses. Users should always take a pragmatic approach to risks based on their own preferences and never chase high-profit indicators at the expense of prudence.
The similarity of many traders’ strategies should come as no surprise, as the approaches to successful trading can align in many cases for many assets. As such, users should draw a clear distinction between the traders they are considering based on a combination of parameters, and not just one.
The follower count is an important indicator of a trader’s performance, as it showcases both high standards of professionalism in market operations and a conscientious approach towards the interests of their followers.
Novices to copy trading must always bear in mind the fact that even elite traders are humans and their fault tolerance is never zero. Any trading strategy is vulnerable to market changes and no single one should be considered perfect. The risk of losses remains even if the selected trader has been demonstrating consistent performance over a long period of time and users must be prepared to set limits accordingly to minimize potential losses.

Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) has named the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) among the top three Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of the Federal Government with the Best Ranking in Website Performance for 2025.
L-R: Head Special Projects, Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), Salamatu Andu; Executive Commissioner, Technical Services, Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC), Engr. Abaraham Oshadame; Director General Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR), Head Customer Support Service, Galaxy Backbone, Rosemary Ehize; Secretary to the ES. Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board, Tahir Aminu at the BPSR award ceremony for top four MDAs in BPSR Website Performance and Ranking 2025 at the BPSR office on Tuesday, 23rd December, 2025.
This is coming barely three weeks after the telecom regulator was recognized as one of the top five best-performing Federal Government agencies for 2025 by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) – a testament to the Commission’s consistency in investment in technology for ensuring efficient service delivery.
In the BPSR 2024/2025 scorecard ranking of agencies’ websites, the NCC came second in the ranking, trailing behind Galaxy Backbone Limited, which came first while the Nigeria Export Promotion Council (NEPC) clinched the third position, from a pool of 235 MDAs, whose website were evaluated.
BPSR deployed 14 evaluation criteria in include MDA’s website compliance with .gov.ng domain name, appearance and aesthetics (look and feel) of the website, content, relevance to MDAs mandate/government policy and the website’ structure.
Others include website’s responsiveness (device compatibility), security, load time, usability/ease of navigation, availability/uptime, functionality, interactivity, accessibility and capacity building.
The recognition was announced at the official release of Federal Government 2024/2025 Scorecard Ranking for MDAs’ Website held at the Federal Ministry of Finance Auditorium in Abuja on Monday (December 22, 2025) while the award presentation took place at BPSR’s Office on Tuesday (December 23, 2025).
The award, which is an important index metric of the National e-Government Masterplan for determining the Nigeria e-Government Status, was received by the Commission in recognition of its commitment to maintaining a world-class website that enhances service delivery to the citizens.
Receiving the award on behalf of the Executive Vice Chairman of the NCC, Dr. Aminu Maida, the NCC’s Executive Commissioner, Technical Services, Abraham Oshadami, appreciated the BPSR for the recognition, describing the award as “another encouragement for the Commission to be a better public service institution leveraging digital platforms such as our web presence to enhance public service delivery to our various stakeholders, thereby implementing the Federal Government’s Ease of Doing Business policy direction.”
While presenting the award to the NCC, alongside other two agencies, BPSR’s Director-General, Mr. Dasuki Arabi, commended the top three for their proactive decisions in maintaining world-class websites, which are compliant with the Federal Government’s policy direction in effective and efficient service delivery to the citizens.
According to the DG, the 2024/2025 MDA’s websites’ ranking represents a collective effort of federal public institutions in Nigeria to be transparent, accountable and open in governance, as well as a confirmation to align with global best practices in service delivery to the citizens.
Developed about six years ago, Arabi said as a result of the annual ranking, more public institutions have indicated readiness to embrace reforms, and align with the policy direction of the current administration’s Renewed Hope agenda on improve governance for effective service delivery, as introduced by His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“The ideals of harnessing and deploying technological tools for service delivery has become imperative following the COVID pandemic, and distortions of socio-economic system of nations, culminating in the evolution of competitiveness, cost effectiveness, and agile governance.
“As engine room of governance, it behoves on us in the public service to perform our statutory duties and we must put in place technological innovations and standardized websites to operate services as well as deliver service needs to citizens,” he said.
The Scorecard exercise, he said, is part of the BPSR reform broader function of conducting research on reform implementation efforts and presenting ‘best practice’ models to the entire Public Service, and to among others, improve access to government information, facilitate seamless financial transaction, eliminate corruption and cyber theft, as well as facilitate access to government services.
Speaking on the rigorous nature of the exercise that produced the top three winners, the DG said “in the past few weeks members of the Scorecard Jury drawn from inter-Ministerial Agencies, had worked tirelessly to mill websites of selected MDAs through a rigorous process of enduring criteria for the ranking and the outcome had also passed through a quality assurance mechanism to validate the outcome.”
Taiwo Oyedele, Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, has dismissed reports that bank accounts not linked to a Tax Identification Number (TIN) will be frozen or automatically debited from January 1, 2026.
Taiwo Oyedele
Oyedele described the claims as false and misleading, warning Nigerians against panic over misinformation surrounding recent tax and financial reforms.
In a post on his X handle Tuesday morning, he wrote: “Don’t let anyone manipulate you. Your bank account is safe. Misinformation makes you panic and fear a reform that is designed to help you.
“When they tell you that your account will be frozen or automatically debited from January 2026, ask them for the evidence in the new law. Be wise.”
He stressed that no provision in the new tax laws authorises the freezing of bank accounts, adding that the rumours are part of widespread misrepresentation of the reforms.
The committee chairman reiterated that the reforms are intended to simplify Nigeria’s tax system and ease the burden on ordinary citizens, not to impose punitive measures on bank customers.
US tech giant, Amazon has disclosed that it blocked more than 1,800 North Koreans from applying for jobs, amid growing concerns that Pyongyang is deploying large numbers of IT workers overseas to earn and launder funds.
Amazon
In a LinkedIn post, Amazon’s Chief Security Officer, Stephen Schmidt, said North Korean nationals have been attempting to secure remote IT roles with companies around the world, particularly in the United States.
He noted that the company recorded nearly a one-third increase in such applications over the past year.
According to Schmidt, many of the applicants operate through so-called “laptop farms” — computers physically located in the US but remotely controlled from abroad.
He warned that the issue is not unique to Amazon and is likely occurring at scale across the tech industry.
He added that common red flags include incorrectly formatted phone numbers and questionable academic credentials.
The issue has previously drawn the attention of US authorities. In July, a woman in Arizona was sentenced to more than eight years in prison for running a laptop farm that helped North Korean IT workers obtain remote jobs at more than 300 US companies.
Officials said the scheme generated over $17 million in revenue for both the woman and North Korea.
Last year, South Korea’s intelligence agency also warned that North Korean operatives were using LinkedIn to pose as recruiters, approaching South Koreans working at defence companies in an attempt to steal sensitive technological information.
“North Korea is actively training cyber personnel and infiltrating key locations worldwide,” Hong Min, an analyst at the Korea Institute for National Unification, told AFP.
He added that, given Amazon’s business model, the motivation behind such operations is largely economic, with a high likelihood of attempts to steal financial assets.
North Korea’s cyber warfare programme dates back to at least the mid-1990s and has since expanded into a cyber unit of about 6,000 personnel known as Bureau 121, according to a 2020 US military report.
In November, Washington announced sanctions against eight individuals accused of being state-sponsored hackers, alleging their illicit activities were carried out to fund North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme.
The US Treasury has also accused North Korea-linked cybercriminals of stealing more than $3 billion over the past three years, primarily through cryptocurrency-related crimes.
