Even with the 100s of copy trading platforms, I can tell you that I have not seen people coming out to say that they have become incredibly profitable through copy trading. Not on this forum, not on social media and not even in real life.
Now, that's a major blow to my excitement. I thought I had found something, maybe not a holy grail but something close to it with that. However, I'm not going to grow weary just yet. I will patiently watch how it plays out. If this doesn't work out, then it will mean just one thing that all the results (their win rates are enticing) from the traders I'm copying are cooked up.
Yea, just try it out and see how it goes, only use the amount you amount you can afford to lose.
When looking at the win rate of traders, it's important to take note of the trades duration data you are looking at. What I mean is that, you will see a duration like: trades in the last 7 days, last 1 week, last 30 days, etc. Now, if you are looking at the win rate of the trader just by trades that was taken in the last 7 days, the win rate could be very high if the trader had only taken less than 5 trade and won all the trades or maybe only lost one trade. So, you should check the overall win rate for the 30 days and 100+ days.
For example, in the first week of this month, I won three trades for the three days I traded and my win rate was showing 100% but after some losing weeks later, I'm now at 61% win rate.
