# How Exposure-based Copytrading Works

Unlike traditional copytrading that simply mirrors individual positions, our system build a true portfolio based on the combined exposure of all traders you follow.

Copytrading uses **your main account** to fully replicate the positions of the wallet(s) you choose to follow. This includes replicating the **leverage** used by the copied traders. For instance, if they take a position using 2x leverage on their entire account, your account will do the same.

That means that our copytrading is set up in a way to replicate combined traders' exposure. You shouldn't worry about your fills matching 1:1 to the traders which you copy. Our execution system might take some trades to bring the exposures to the desired levels.
