Copier or strategy?

The two are different tools and it is worth knowing which you want.

A strategy
starts from a signal — an alert posted to a webhook — and fans it out to every subscribed account.
The copier
starts from an account. Whatever the leader does, the followers do too, sized for themselves.

If your decisions come from a chart alert, use a strategy. If they come from you trading one account, use the copier. Nothing stops you running both, on different accounts.

Trades you take by hand
Whether manual fills on the leader are copied at all is a server-side setting, not a per-group toggle. If you rely on it, check the readiness panel before you trade rather than after.
