My experience in copy trading: expectations vs reality

When I learned about copy trading, I thought it was the perfect way to make money. You simply choose a successful trader, connect to them — and the money comes in by itself. I selected several traders with high profits, invested money, and waited.

At first, everything was going well: a small profit, stable trades. But then the drawdowns began. One trader lost 10% of the deposit in a day, another entered a losing position and didn’t set stop losses. I saw the balance melting away, but I could do nothing. When I realized I was copying not professionals, but other risky players, it was already too late.

Main mistakes:

1. I chose based on profit, not strategy.

2. I thought that traders manage risks.

3. I didn’t study the market myself.

Now I understand: if you can’t trade yourself, copy trading won’t save you.$BTC
