Copy trading isn't about copying every winning trader.



It's about finding someone whose strategy matches your risk level. A trader with steady results is often better than someone with huge profits followed by huge losses.

What's the first thing you check before clicking "Copy"?

First check whether the historical profit curve is smoothly trending upward; if there is too much volatility, do not touch it under any circumstances.

Steady profits are the king—those big ups and downs look exciting, but you can’t hold onto them in real life.

Before I click to copy, I need to confirm that he is still using the same strategy, instead of switching it frequently.

First look at his total number of trading days—only those who have been profitable for more than half a year and continue to generate profits are worth trusting.

Check whether his monthly returns have been stable over the past three months—having a positive return every month is the most reassuring.

I’ll also look at his maximum holding period and average profit; these details can reflect his real performance.

The win rate isn’t actually the most important thing; what matters more is the risk-reward ratio and money management.

I generally first look at the maximum drawdown; if it exceeds 20%, I skip it directly.
