# Why did my trade close without me doing anything?
The nature of copy trading means that your trades will close when the signal closes their trade. Therefore, you do not need to manually close these trades.
However, if your trade has closed early, this may be caused by a couple of a reasons:
Hard Stop
Your drawdown has reached its Hard Stop. This closes all trades and suspends copying. For more information review our 'Copier Drawdown' FAQs, which shows: [How to reset Drawdown?](https://knowledgebase.pelicantrading.io/en/how-do-i-reset-my-drawdown?hsLang=en)
Margin Call
A Margin Call is where your available funds to trade have dropped below a level set by your broker. Consequently, triggering the closure of your open trades.
You can review your margin on your brokers trading terminal. Also, you will normally receive emails that margin calls are approaching. To avoid having your trades closed, you will need to add funds to your account: [How can I add funds?](https://knowledgebase.pelicantrading.io/en/how-can-i-add-funds?hsLang=en)
