I had a user privately tell me that they followed another signal provider. They’re heavily overleveraged and about to get liquidated, so they secretly added margin. Honestly, as a signal provider, the biggest taboo is adding margin yourself while you’re already holding a position. When you add margin, it means the liquidation level for the copy-trading users is different from yours. If you don’t get liquidated, then all the users you’re copying will get wiped out. So what? In order to prevent losing money yourself, you add margin yourself. Isn’t the user’s money not money anymore?

To be honest, this kind of behavior is a red line—whoever touches it is doomed. The user hands you their funds, and when you see that you’re about to get liquidated, you go and add to your position. After the user gets wiped out, you’re still sitting there, and your money is protected—your win rate is protected too? What’s the point of that? Are users idiots?

I don’t understand how someone like that can even be a signal provider. I’ve always believed that my own funds are tied together with the users’ funds—I absolutely do not secretly add margin. Even if I get liquidated, I’m with the users. And I even followed my own signals with another account using a few thousand dollars; I’m always on the same boat as the users. Anyone who knows me knows I’ve never done anything like this!
