Risks of Copy Trading
Relying on the decisions of the traders who copy orders means that if their strategy fails, the copycat will also suffer losses. Therefore, the biggest risk is largely the risk of portfolio selection.
Market volatility may cause slippage, that is, the difference between the actual transaction price and the expected price, which may affect the trading results.
When the market moves sharply, problems such as insufficient liquidity or system delays may be encountered.
Copy trading is not a 100% profitable product. Therefore, when choosing to copy trade, investors should carefully consider their risk tolerance and conduct sufficient research on the historical performance and strategies of the traders who copy orders.
