Scope Copy reaches MetaTrader 5 with a performance fee band running to 50%
Scope Markets' copy service, now on MetaTrader 5, lets strategy providers set a fee anywhere from 10 to 50 per cent. The published protections govern when the fee is charged, not how large it is.

A copy-trading launch is normally reported on its features. Here the number worth reading is the fee.
Scope Markets put Scope Copy live on MetaTrader 5 on 20 August 2026. Per Finance Magnates’ report that day, strategy providers may set performance fees ranging from 10 per cent to 50 per cent. The same report puts more than 130 providers on the service at launch and more than 500,000 trades replicated in beta — company figures, unaudited, over a window neither report states.
What the 50 per cent is bounded by
Two protections are published with the fee. Copiers pay nothing in advance and nothing on losing trades, and a high-water mark requires a provider to recover previous losses before earning again. We have argued before that a high-water-mark performance fee is the model most closely tied to the copier making money.
Note what those protections govern: they decide when a fee is charged, not how large it is. The company’s own FAQ says what it is charged on — “a percentage of any profit made with the Copier’s funds”, illustrated at 30 per cent. Page and reports agree on the direction: the provider is paid out of gains and nothing else, while the whole of every loss settles in the copying account. Gross and net diverge faster at 50 per cent than at 20, and the divergence is the copier’s.
The comparison arrived from the seller. Managing Director John Murphy told FX News Group that most copy-trading platforms cap provider fees at around 30 per cent, and that Scope set its band deliberately higher, at up to 50. That is a claim about a market average, made by the firm that priced above it. We have measured no such average.
The plumbing, and the entity
The engine came from a vendor. Both reports say Scope Copy runs on YOONIT, a module from PLUGIT — a Limassol firm trading since 2012, whose site says over 100 brokers run on its technology.
The corporate line is on Scope Markets’ own Scope Copy page: the brand is used by RS Global Ltd, described there as authorized and regulated by the Financial Services Commission of Belize under the Securities Industry Act 2021, registration number 1943611. That is the company’s assertion, so we checked it. The FSC’s LicenSys public register, read on 3 September 2026, carries a current licence entry for RS Global Ltd. under that number, marked active, with scopemarkets.com among its domains.
A Belize licence describes permissions in Belize. Scope Markets’ boilerplate, carried by FX News Group, calls Rostro Group’s providers multi-regulated and says the brand is operated by regulated entities in six jurisdictions. That is a statement about a group, not about the entity named on this page; readers elsewhere should check their own register. Scope Markets’ page warns that leveraged products may not suit all investors. We are not licensed advisers, and nothing here recommends the service or anyone on it.
