STARTRADER Rolls Out Web STAR Copy as Social Trading Competition Intensifies

STARTRADER has launched Web STAR Copy, a browser-accessible version of its existing copy trading service, making the feature available through the company's Client Portal alongside its mobile application, the Dubai-based broker announced today (Tuesday).

The feature, previously limited to the STAR-APP, lets clients choose between two roles: Signal Provider, for those looking to share and monetize their trading strategies, or Copier, for those who want to automatically replicate the trades of other participants without placing orders manually, according to the company.

Copy trading has drawn a growing queue of brokers rolling out similar services as demand from retail clients rises, with the global copy trading market estimated at $2.6 billion and still expanding.

Brokeree launched a cross-platform API in March that lets brokers integrate social trading across MetaTrader, cTrader, and proprietary systems, illustrating how infrastructure providers are responding to the same demand.

Performance Visibility Takes Center Stage

Strategy pages within Web STAR Copy display performance data for each Signal Provider, including historical returns, trading activity, and the number of active Copiers following a given account, the company said. STARTRADER says this gives Copiers a data-based framework for choosing which strategies to follow, though the broker has not disclosed how the metrics are independently verified or audited.

"Web STAR Copy reflects our focus on building a more connected trading ecosystem, where transparency and trust support long-term participation," Peter Karsten, Chief Executive Officer of STARTRADER, said in the announcement.

PU Prime, one of the more active competitors in the copy trading space, has positioned real-time performance tracking and flexible risk tools as central to its own offering, reflecting how performance transparency has become a baseline expectation across the segment.

Copiers can also adjust how trades are replicated to suit their individual preferences, and built-in risk management Risk Management One of the most common terms utilized by brokers, risk management refers to the practice of identifying potential risks in advance.

Web Access Broadens the Existing STAR Copy Offering

The mobile-first STAR Copy service already allowed clients to follow experienced traders and replicate strategies through the STARTRADER app, with a minimum entry amount of $50 for Copiers and no additional commissions beyond standard spreads, according to the company's existing terms.

The web version extends that access to users who prefer or require a desktop interface, STARTRADER said, without introducing new pricing or account structures.

"We are continuously evolving our offering to give traders the confidence to engage with the markets in a more structured and reliable way,” Karsten added,

STARTRADER secured a partnership with the NBA in January 2026 and appointed a former MultiBank executive to lead European business development in late 2024.

The race to build out social trading features extends well beyond specialist brokers. Robinhood began beta testing its "Robinhood Social" feature in March 2026, allowing US users to share and discuss trades in a format already common in Europe, while Fortex moved to cloud-based copy trading in late 2025, removing the need for a VPS by routing position mirroring through Duplikium's cloud infrastructure.
