Welcome to Ectype, where syncing accounts allows you to mirror trades effortlessly between accounts. Follow these straightforward steps to sync accounts.

### Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure you have:

* An active Ectype account. If you don't have one, sign up [here](https://www.ectype.finance).
* Successfully copied trades from one account to another.

Now, let's get started with syncing your accounts.

### Step 1: Login to Ectype

Visit the Ectype website and log in to your account using your credentials.

### Step 2: Navigate to Account Sync

Locate the `Sync Account` section. You can usually locate it in the left side bar, under the Account section.

{% hint style="info" %}
The follower account automatically become the Copy To account created when copying accounts.
{% endhint %}

### Step 3: Confirm and Save

Review the syncing details, ensuring that the selected main and follower accounts are accurate. Click `Connect` to initiate the syncing process.

{% hint style="info" %}
Disconnect accounts to make changes to the clone account.
{% endhint %}

### Step 4: Monitor Synced Trades

Once synced, any trade executed on the master account will be automatically mirrored on the follower account in real-time. Monitor the synced trades to ensure consistency.

### Troubleshooting

* **Syncing Issues:** If syncing is not working as expected, double-check that both accounts have been successfully copied initially.
* **Account Status:** Ensure that both the main and follower accounts are active and have sufficient funds for trading.

Congratulations! You've successfully synced accounts on Ectype. If you have any questions or encounter difficulties, refer to our [FAQs](https://ectype-fend-git-develop-phace.vercel.app/#faqs) or contact our [support team](mailto:support@ectype.finance).
