How to Copy Trades to Multiple Binance Accounts & Sub-Accounts
Set up copying to your Binance accounts and sub-accounts: follower sizing, limit-order changes, partial fills, cancellations and exchange constraints.
One master account, several followers
To copy trades to multiple Binance accounts, connect one of your accounts as the master and the others as followers. A Binance sub-account trade copier sends orders through each account's API connection, with its own calculation balance and sizing multiplier.
Decoded's API trade copier uses this model for your own futures accounts. Sub-accounts need their own API credentials and access to the required market; adding the main account does not automatically connect all its sub-accounts.
Set up Binance sub-account copying
- Prepare each account. Check futures access, balances and the contracts you intend to trade. Replication sessions require USDT / USDC Futures connections.
- Add separate API keys. Enable read and the necessary trading permissions for each account. Leave withdrawals disabled and review the exchange's access restrictions.
- Create the session. Select one master account, then attach your follower accounts. The master and follower must be different account connections.
- Choose sizing and symbols. Set an individual multiplier for each follower and one symbol allowlist for the session. Use a custom balance only when you intend to override the actual balance used in the calculation.
- Review and start. Check existing positions, margin and settings before starting. Inspect the copied orders and session status before increasing the number or size of followers.
A proportional sizing example
Suppose the master has a 10,000 USDT balance and places a trade with a 1,000 USDT notional value. That trade represents 10% of its balance. A follower with 5,000 USDT and a multiplier of 0.5 has a calculated trade size of:
5,000 × (1,000 / 10,000) × 0.5 = 250 USDT.
The calculation is illustrative. The actual order must also satisfy the exchange's quantity steps, minimum size, available margin and contract rules. A multiplier changes sizing; it does not guarantee equal returns or identical fills.
Use the interactive follower-sizing example to see how balances and multipliers work together.
Adding Bybit or OKX to the same route
Followers can also be your accounts on Bybit or OKX. Check that the required futures contract exists on each destination and review the order types and trigger settings there.
For the connection steps, see how to copy your own Binance trades to Bybit and OKX. Cross-exchange copying is subject to each exchange's permissions, API limits and execution conditions.
Check orders on every sub-account
- After placement: confirm that each follower has an accepted order with the intended price and calculated quantity. An accepted limit order can remain unfilled.
- After a price change: inspect follower prices. Changing an existing master limit order is not guaranteed to amend its copies; manage unchanged follower orders separately when needed.
- After a partial fill: compare the filled portion, unfilled remainder and actual position for every account. Different multipliers and liquidity mean the quantities need not match.
- After cancellation: check that linked follower orders no longer have an unwanted unfilled remainder. Completed fills cannot be cancelled. Reconciliation can send corrective orders, so also review the resulting positions.
For automatic Binance take profit and stop loss, configure Security Strategy separately. Its policy and state determine whether it places or updates protection.
Questions about multiple-account copying
Can each sub-account use a different trade size?
Yes. Set a separate multiplier for every follower. The session also supports a custom calculation balance for an account when you want to use a specific capital allocation.
Does the copier bypass Binance account limits?
No. Exchange eligibility, API permissions, instrument limits and available margin still apply. Connect only accounts you control and check the rules for your account type.
How much does a Binance sub-account copier cost?
Check current Decoded plans, session counts and followers per session. Review the Trade Copier controls before choosing the configuration for your accounts.
Does expiry cancel my exchange orders?
No. New copying stops when access expires; placed exchange orders remain and can fill later. Review every connected account and start the session manually after payment.
