Risk and safety
Follower protection and safety rules
What Replica does when a follower drifts from the leader.
- Follower protection. When the leader goes flat, any follower still holding that contract is closed too. This catches a partial exit, a rejected order, or a trade opened by hand on a follower. It never touches the leader.
- Prevent hedging. When a follower flips from long to short, Replica closes the old side and waits for the broker to confirm flat before opening the new one.
- No guessing, no duplicates. Each fill is copied once. If an order's outcome is unclear, Replica never re-sends it blindly: that follower pauses, and resumes by itself once the broker shows it flat with no working orders.
- One copier per account. A fill on a follower that Replica did not send is flagged in the activity log.
