I've learned that patience is one of the most important skills in copy trading.



Many people stop after a few losing trades, but every experienced trader goes through ups and downs. Consistency is built over time, not in a single week.

How long do you usually stay with one copy trader?

I followed a trader I’d been watching, and after five straight losing trades I was almost ready to quit—then the sixth trade all came back. It really tests your mindset.

The one above is right. I generally follow at least three months to give traders enough time to prove themselves.

Copy-trading can’t just look at short-term profit and loss—only by extending the time horizon to evaluate win rate and drawdowns can it be reliable.

Indeed, patience is the core of following trades; without a bit of resolve, you can’t make money.

Following trades is, in essence, a test of trust in a person; patience is the hard currency of trust.

I usually give a trader at least 20 trades as an opportunity; if the logic is sound, I keep following.

Only a few can stick with it, but it’s precisely these few who made money.

Patience isn’t about stubbornly holding on; it’s about坚持 based on risk control and strategy—and you have to judge that level yourself.

The person who followed for more than half a year had the biggest drawdown of 15% in the middle, but the annualized return was 30%+. So don’t get scared off by short-term volatility.

Every trader has a low point; at this time, canceling orders is like cutting your losses at the cheapest possible spot.
