I've realized something about copy trading...


It's easy to copy a trader when everything is green. The real challenge is staying patient during a few losing trades.
No trader wins every trade. That's why I believe choosing the right strategy is more important than chasing the highest ROI.
What's the first thing you check before copying a trader: ROI, win rate, or risk score?

我一般先看风险评分,ROI高但回撤大的我不敢跟,宁愿稳一点少赚也别爆仓。你提到的耐心太对了,跟单最怕的就是自己忍不住手动平仓。

Every time you see consecutive losses, panic, but think about it—there is no perfect strategy; sticking to discipline is the way to go.

ROI is high but the risk is also high, so I choose the ones with a lower risk score.

Choosing a strategy instead of an ROI is agreed with.

My first thing is to look at the total trading duration—I don’t dare follow anything too new; I need at least a stable track record of over three months.

Well said—the hardest part is actually holding yourself back. Even though you set up copy trading, when you see losses you want to close the position, but then you miss the rebound that comes afterward. Trust in the system is crucial.

Win rate isn’t everything—risk-reward ratio is what matters.

Risk score #1, ROI #2.

I think the mindset issue is whether you trust this strategy. If you don’t even understand how the other person trades, then when the price drops you definitely won’t be able to hold. So before I follow along, I carefully read through his strategy description and historical trade analysis, and I don’t blindly follow.

That’s so true! In a bull market, everyone is a stock god, but in a bear market you can really see someone’s true skills. Last time I followed one with an incredibly high ROI, and the result was three straight trades in a row that went wrong—I panicked. Later I found out his strategy was wrong. So now I care more about strategy and risk control.
