What is Copy Trading & Why Indian Traders Need It

Copy trading means running the same trading strategy simultaneously across multiple brokerage accounts — automatically. When the master account places a BUY order, all linked child accounts place the same BUY order at the same time, proportionally sized to each account's capital.

💡 Real Indian Use Cases:
• You manage your own account + your wife's account + your father's account — 3 accounts, one strategy, all trading simultaneously
• You have ₹5 lakh in Zerodha and ₹3 lakh in Fyers — both should trade the same strategy without placing orders twice
• You are a SEBI-registered advisor running strategies for 10 client accounts
• You passed a prop firm challenge and want to scale across multiple funded accounts

All of these scenarios require copy trading automation. AlgoAutomationIndia.com builds multi-account copy trading systems for all these use cases.
