Copy trading

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.
