Tried Copy Trading So You Don’t Have To – Here’s What Happened:
I decided to test futures copy trading. The first trader I followed made me +50 USDT in one day — too good to be true, right? Well... it was.
I got greedy and started copying multiple “top traders” from the Explore tab, investing 100–200 USDT with each of them.
In just two days, everything flipped. The same trader who made me $50 on day one lost $100 on day two.
I’m not saying every copy trader is bad — but most of them aren’t as skilled as they seem. On platforms like Binance, anyone can become a copy trader — no special credentials needed. Many of the top-ranked ones are just riding a lucky streak… until you join in and the streak ends.
Worse, I’m now stuck copying a few traders who keep losing $10 a day, and I can’t opt out because of a “lock-up period.” I didn’t set a stop-loss because their profile said not to — they claimed they'd manage the risk. Spoiler: they didn’t.
👉 Lesson learned the hard way:
Don’t blindly trust rankings or flashy returns. Do your own research, understand the risks, and most importantly — protect your money.
Stay safe out there.
