How to Copy Trade on MEXC
Copy trading on MEXC, in Merc's sense, means your own Futures account, a trade-only key, and rules you set before anything arms. The book stays yours. Merc never holds the funds.

Start with an account you own
If the question is how to copy trade on MEXC, start with the boring fact. You need a MEXC Futures account in your name. The balance lives there. Merc places orders there. Nobody at merc.bot takes custody of that balance.
If you do not have an exchange account yet, open one first and learn the Futures tab before you connect software. Venue literacy is not optional. A key cannot save you from an account you do not understand.
Futures is the book Merc talks to
Merc executes on MEXC Futures. That is a leveraged book. Leverage multiplies both directions. A small move against you can close the position. A large move can take the margin you posted.
Create a trade-only key
On MEXC you create an API key with trade permission and withdraw turned off. Merc refuses keys that can withdraw. Bind the key to Merc's IP on MEXC yourself. You can revoke the key whenever you want.
- Trade permission on.
- Withdraw permission off. Always.
- IP bind on the exchange, not as a screenshot promise.
- Revoke if anything feels wrong.
Connect Merc without giving custody
In Merc you sign in, add the trade-only key, and save risk rules. Then you arm Discord communities or Copy traders you actually want. Unarmed sources do not trade.
Merc listens, parses, validates, then executes. AI never picks trades. If the message is messy or your rules say no, the desk logs a refuse. That is the product working.
Set rules before you arm a source
Size, leverage ceiling, stop-loss policy, and max concurrent positions should exist before the first armed source. Copying a MEXC signal with no stop policy is how people discover leverage the hard way.
Your rules stay yours. The source cannot override them. Read Risk Rules For Copy Trading and Risk disclosure before you treat this as set-and-ignore.
What a followed signal looks like
A clean signal becomes a ticket on your book: pair, side, limit entry when the plan allows, stop and targets attached under your policy. Median time from message to placed order on Merc is short. Speed does not make the call better.

Questions
- Does Merc hold my MEXC funds?
- No. Money stays on your MEXC Futures account. Merc places orders with a trade-only key and does not take custody.
- Can I copy trade on MEXC without giving withdraw access?
- Yes. That is the only key Merc accepts. Withdraw permission is refused at setup.
- Will Merc use the signal's leverage as-is?
- No. Leverage and size follow your rules. Merc sizes from your risk settings and stop. If you set a max leverage ceiling, the ticket stays at or under it. The source does not get to override that.
