The Bitget exchange has announced the launch of its new CFD Copy Trading feature, allowing users to automatically follow moves made by experienced traders in the forex, commodity and index markets.
CFD copytrading is now live on Bitget!
Follow pro trader strategies across forex, commodities, and indices from as little as 50 USDT.
Tap into volatility across global markets automatically from now.

For crypto users, CFD Copy Trading offers a more straightforward way to access traditional financial markets. At the same time, experienced MT5 and forex traders gain a new entry point into Bitget’s broader ecosystem, where traditional and digital asset markets are increasingly combined within a single trading environment.
By using USDT as marg1n, users can trade across crypto, commodities, forex, and indices without needing to transfer funds between different brokers or convert capital across multiple platforms.
The feature is already available on the Bitget mobile app, and will be coming to the exchange’s web version in early May.
The new feature is based on Bitget’s MetaTrader 5 integration
Bitget’s CFD Copy Trading feature is integrated through the exchange’s MetaTrader 5 infrastructure, and uses the High-Water Mark profit-sharing model. In this model, traders receive their reward only after reaching net profitability, ensuring fairness for both traders and followers.
The process of finding suitable traders to follow is improved by the fact that performance metrics such as ROI, follower numbers, and profit-sharing data are updated hourly, replacing the delayed reporting systems still widely used in the market.

Profit-sharing payouts are handled on a daily basis, with qualified traders able to earn up to 30% in profit share. VIP tiers also provide the option to create restricted-access portfolios available only to invited followers.
MT5 account setup and withdrawal handling are finalized in less than three seconds via a fully automated backend system, minimizing friction during onboarding and settlement.
Towards the “Universal Exchange”
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen says the introduction of CFD Copy Trading lowers the barrier to entry for users who want exposure to a variety of asset classes but might not have the expertise to participate in these markets by themselves:
“More users are paying attention to macro movements because the opportunity set has widened beyond crypto alone. What matters now is making that access practical. Copy trading lowers the execution barrier for users who want exposure to global markets without needing to build that expertise from scratch.”
A major factor when it comes to accessibility is low minimums, and users can start copying trades on Bitget with just 50 USDT. Meanwhile, the maximum a user can commit to an expert trader is 5,000 USDT.
The move is part of Bitget’s expansion beyond the cryptocurrency market. The platform is looking to establish itself as a “Universal Exchange” where traders can easily access all of the most relevant markets under one roof.
