+## What is it?
+
+Copy Trading is becoming popular in the financial markets; it allows a client (the Copier) to automatically copy the trades of another client (the Trader).
+
+## Becoming a Trader
+
+To become a Trader (i.e. to allow others to follow your trades), set the “allow_copiers” setting via the [set settings](/api-explorer#set_settings) call.
+
+The Trader then creates a read-only API token and provides it to the Copier.
+
+Enabling the allow_copiers setting will also make the [copytrading statistics](/api-explorer#copytrading_statistics) call work. The statistics API call provides the information about an account (this is so that potential copiers have an idea about the trader’s past performance).
+
+## Becoming a Copier
+
+To become a copier, use the [copy start](/api-explorer#copy_start) call. To stop copying, use the [copy stop](/api-explorer#copy_stop) call.
