This means that they can be someone who follows and automatically copies the trades of “Top Traders”, or be the “Top Trader” who lets their trades be copied.

ayondo prioritizes transparency and ease-of-use and this is clear with our simple, intuitive platform which we constantly adapt to the needs of our traders. Our Client Service team is second to none, and offers a personalized service to all our clients. We have introduced additional insurance of up to £500,000 for all our clients at our own cost, on top of the FSCS cover, as well as Negative Balance Protection which means we never seek to recover losses from you if your losses exceed your account balance.
