Have these ready

Access to your email, identity documents requested by Tag Markets and a payment method offered in your account. Check country eligibility, current fees and the account terms before depositing. Verification and payments happen on the provider’s platform.

Open and connect your accounts

  1. Step 1. Register on CopyX

    Use the registration link on this site. You’ll fill in the usual account details and answer CopyX’s onboarding survey — income, trading experience, and similar questions.

    CopyX emails a verification link before the account opens, and the link is time-limited — open it soon after signing up. The suitability survey comes next, and the profile page only appears once it is submitted.

  2. Step 2. Find the IBPortal banner

    After logging in, scroll down the CopyX main page to a banner reading: “CopyX Registration. To access all platform features, please register your TagMarkets account exclusively using this button. Registering through IBPortal ensures proper linking and synchronization between both accounts.”

  3. Step 3. Log in to Tag Markets

    Click through from that banner, then log in to Tag Markets using the same details you used on CopyX — this is what keeps the two accounts linked and in sync.

    If it says your password is wrong

    This happens sometimes even with the correct details — it’s a known bug on Tag Markets’ side, not a problem with your account. Tap Forgot password, check your email for the reset link, and set a new password (the same one you used on CopyX works fine). Then log in again and continue.

Verify & fund

  1. Step 4. Verify your identity

    Tag Markets will ask for identity verification — typically a photo of your ID or passport plus a face scan. Follow their steps in order; this happens entirely on their platform.

  2. Step 5. Deposit

    Check the minimum deposit, available payment methods, fees and processing times shown in your account. These can change by region and account type. A deposit minimum is not necessarily the strategy’s minimum allocation.

What happens between the steps

The setup is not instant, and the gaps are where people assume something broke. Waiting times depend on the provider, your region and your payment method, so treat the ones below as sequence rather than schedule — the platform's own status screen is what tells you where you actually are.

After you submit identity documents
Verification is reviewed by Tag Markets, not by this guide, and it can be same-day or take longer if a document is rejected or re-requested. You cannot fund the account until it clears. If the status has not moved, their support is the only place that can tell you why.
After you deposit
Crediting time depends on the payment method — cards and crypto usually appear faster than bank transfers. Check the balance in your account rather than assuming; a pending deposit is not yet allocatable.
After you press Copy Now
Copying starts from that point forward. It does not backfill the strategy's earlier trades, so nothing appears in your history until the strategy opens its next position.
Before your first copied trade
Sonic trades gold, and gold does not trade continuously — a quiet market or a closed session means no new positions. An empty trade history on its own does not tell you whether copying is active; check the strategy's status in the platform instead.
The 30-day clock
For amplified accounts the 30 days start at your first trade, not at your deposit. Until that first copied trade opens, the clock has not started. Official account rules ↗

Find Sonic and choose your allocation

Each step below shows the screen you should be looking at while you do it. Tap a screen to enlarge it.

  1. Step 6. Open CopyX from the menu

    Tap the three-line (☰) menu in the top corner of Tag Markets, scroll all the way down, and select “CopyX.” You land on Browse Pro Traders, where Sonic is one of the strategy cards.

  2. Step 7. Pick a strategy & set an amount

    Open Sonic’s strategy details and review the current minimum, performance fee and risk information. Then enter your chosen allocation and check the account tier displayed before continuing.

  3. Step 8. Use the 24x community token

    Before confirming the copy, open Community token. The setup used by GoldCopyGuide uses the values below. Enter both fields, then check that the intended tier is shown before you confirm.

    Know what the token does before you enter it

    The dialog you are on states that using a token code changes your Amplify drawdown limit to 5% of the starting balance, against 10% without one. The same screen also prints a separate 10% liquidation note above the token field, and we cannot tell you which one governs your account.

    It goes further than that: Tag Markets publishes two help-center articles that describe how this limit is calculated differently — one says it is based on your deposit, an older one says it is based on the full amplified trading amount. Those two readings put the real dollar figure roughly 12× apart. See both readings and the arithmetic before you rely on any number here.

    The publisher has used this setup. Eligibility and account terms can change: confirm the current loss limits, charges and withdrawal conditions with Tag Markets. If the code is not accepted or the tier does not match, do not assume it has been activated.

After confirming, check that the correct strategy, allocation and account tier appear in your dashboard. Check the platform’s status and trade history; an empty history alone does not confirm whether copying is active. Ask official support if the state is unclear.

That is every screen, in order.

Keep this page open beside you as you go — the community token and GU/ID are in the 24x token step above.

Your setup checklist

Saved on this device only. Checking a box does not change your trading account.

Stopping and withdrawing

Stopping a strategy and withdrawing money are separate actions. Check the current account controls before confirming either.

Stop copying
Use the strategy controls in CopyX. Before confirming, check how the platform will handle existing open positions; do not assume stopping new copies closes them.
Withdraw profits
Tag Markets’ amplified-account rules state that profits can be withdrawn at any time. Check the available amount and current payment conditions in your account.
Withdraw your deposit
For amplified accounts, the remaining initial deposit becomes withdrawable 30 days after the first trade. Withdrawing it closes the account. An upgrade restarts the waiting period.

Rules checked 17 September 2026. Official account rules ↗ For account-specific help, contact Tag Markets support ↗.
