What do I need before I start?

You need a Currents account, your own broker account, and a starting amount you would still be okay seeing go down. Copy Trading stays off until you choose to start. If any step feels unclear, message Currents before moving on.

Start here

You do not need to become a trading expert before opening the portal. You just need the shape of it: your broker holds the money, Currents keeps the steps together, and Copy Trading starts only after you choose it.

If you are not ready to fund or copy yet, that is fine. A good first visit can simply be opening the portal and seeing where your broker account, Copy Trading, Billing, and Help live.

Before you start

  • Use an email address you can access reliably.
  • Have your broker login details ready, or start with your broker account page in the portal.
  • Choose a starting amount with loss risk in mind. Do not use money you cannot afford to lose.
  • Keep WhatsApp close if you want Currents beside you during setup.

Do this in order

  1. Open your portal.
  2. Go to your broker account page.
  3. Connect your broker account after the steps make sense.
  4. Review Copy Trading separately before you switch it on.
