The real risks of copy trading
Copying a trader copies their losses too — here's how to contain them.
A strategy's past return is not a promise. The main risks: a provider changes style, over-leverages, or hits a losing streak. Contain them by diversifying across several providers and capping risk per strategy — the allocation tool shows the maths.
Common questions
Can I lose more than I allocate?
With leverage, a strategy can lose more than its share — set stop-out and allocation carefully.
How many strategies?
Enough to diversify (3–6), not so many you can't track them.
