STARTRADER Rolls Out Web STAR Copy as Social Trading Competition Intensifies

Wait 5 sec.

STARTRADERhas launched Web STAR Copy, a browser-accessible version of its existing copytrading service, making the feature available through the company's ClientPortal alongside its mobile application, the Dubai-based broker announced today(Tuesday).Thefeature, previously limited to the STAR-APP, lets clients choose between tworoles: Signal Provider, for those looking to share and monetize their tradingstrategies, or Copier, for those who want to automatically replicate the tradesof other participants without placing orders manually, according to thecompany. Copytrading has drawn a growing queue of brokers rolling out similar services asdemand from retail clients rises, with the global copytrading market estimated at $2.6 billion and still expanding. Brokereelaunched a cross-platform API in March that lets brokers integrate socialtrading across MetaTrader, cTrader, and proprietary systems, illustrating howinfrastructure providers are responding to the same demand.Performance VisibilityTakes Center StageStrategypages within Web STAR Copy display performance data for each Signal Provider,including historical returns, trading activity, and the number of activeCopiers following a given account, the company said. STARTRADER says this givesCopiers a data-based framework for choosing which strategies to follow, thoughthe broker has not disclosed how the metrics are independently verified oraudited."WebSTAR Copy reflects our focus on building a more connected trading ecosystem,where transparency and trust support long-term participation," PeterKarsten, Chief Executive Officer of STARTRADER, said inthe announcement. PU Prime, one of the more active competitors in the copy trading space, has positioned real-timeperformance tracking and flexible risk tools as central to its own offering,reflecting how performance transparency has become a baseline expectationacross the segment.Copiers canalso adjust how trades are replicated to suit their individual preferences, andbuilt-in risk management settings allow users to cap exposure and protectcapital, according to STARTRADER. Real-time positions, transaction history, andprofit-sharing summaries are all accessible through the same interface, thecompany said.STARTRADERhas been adding product features at a steady pace. The broker rolled out24/5 trading on 20 of the most traded US stocks just days ago, joining a group of CFDbrokers racing to extend their equity access beyond standard market hours.Web Access Broadens theExisting STAR Copy OfferingThemobile-first STAR Copy service already allowed clients to follow experiencedtraders and replicate strategies through the STARTRADER app, with a minimumentry amount of $50 for Copiers and no additional commissions beyond standardspreads, according to the company's existing terms. The webversion extends that access to users who prefer or require a desktop interface,STARTRADER said, without introducing new pricing or account structures."Weare continuously evolving our offering to give traders the confidence to engagewith the markets in a more structured and reliable way,” Karsten added,STARTRADER secured apartnership with the NBA in January 2026 and appointed aformer MultiBank executive to lead European business development in late 2024.STARTRADERholds active licenses from five regulators, including ASIC in Australia, theFSA in Seychelles, the FSC in Mauritius, the FSCA in South Africa, and the CMAin Kenya. The broker serves both retail clients and business partners throughMetaTrader platforms, the STAR-APP, and now the expanded web-based copy tradingfeature.The race tobuild out social trading features extends well beyond specialist brokers. Robinhoodbegan beta testing its "Robinhood Social" feature in March 2026, allowing US users to share anddiscuss trades in a format already common in Europe, while Fortex movedto cloud-based copy trading in late 2025, removing the need for a VPS by routingposition mirroring through Duplikium's cloud infrastructure.This article was written by Damian Chmiel at www.financemagnates.com.
