In copy trading, I think we often look at one thing first, and that is profit. But profit is not everything when we are trying to understand a trader.


I also want to know how consistent the trader is, how they manage risk, when they enter a trade and how they decide when to close the position.
One profitable trade can happen by chance, but seeing how a trader performs in different market conditions can tell us much more about their trading style.
For me, copy trading is not only about following a trade. Understanding the trader’s strategy and learning from their decisions can also be valuable.

High profits don’t mean stability; look at drawdowns and stop-losses first—that’s more practical than anything else.

Staying alive is more important than making more money—the bear market reveals the truth.

I can totally relate. I used to follow only those with high returns, but they fell apart when a major market move hit. Now, when choosing someone to copy trade, I put risk management discipline and performance over six consecutive months first.

I think that when copy-trading, you shouldn’t just focus on the returns. Why they opened the trade and why they closed it—that’s all free hands-on training. Give it some thought; it’s much more interesting than simply copying someone else’s homework.
