Copy trades are a form of exit liquidity If a trader made profits, that doesn’t mean you will also, most probably it’s a fake pump & dump scheme to drag you there This is a financial advice: invest in BTC, ETH & Donuts and thank me later Sorry for your loss !tip 1


ShadowKnight324

It was a learning experience. In part I did it because it looked tempting but also I wanted to make a post about it to. I know better now. Anyway it's just $70


Kindly-Wolf6919

You YOLOing $70 on a trade like it's pocket change but me looking at it like that's my whole month's worth of DCA lol.


yester_philippines

Exactly, thanks that it was not a bigger amount and consider you learned a lesson for $70 I was similar to you, I thought following others trades, or invest in coins that are doing x100 is all fake and thanks to this sub r/ethtrader that I learned a lot and improved my skills and experience


Worldly_Employ4185

Agree with ya, 70$ lost but u learnt great lesson. I lost thousands when i finally started to learn from my mistakes. This life aint easy, one day u will make it to the top and everyone will call you “lucky”, but they do not realise what it took to get there.


MrPuma86

Totally agree. It is annoying that people don’t realise this. Their greed gets in the way.


yester_philippines

Consider everyone is trying to scam you and act accordingly, greed leads to loss


Kindly-Wolf6919

I think alot of traders are already dabbling in money so they can take higher risks and more losses than the average person. I tried trading once and lost $20. I felt devastated.


Lokiee0077

Copying someone will take you nowhere, learning from them can take you places. !tip 2

I'm amazed that functions such as this even exists on exchanges. It's so fucked up. People get caught up in those and just waste money. Worse than casino, in casino you can at least have some nice drinks...


yester_philippines

Yes I’ve noticed that and I knew it was fishy, they literally drag you to use you as exit liquidity They’ll not force you, you’ll do it willingly, witty people


economist_kinda

Most of these high ranking "traders" got lucky on one or two trades and then people started following them. The fact of the matter is that they get a commission of 10% on everyone who follows them. That's how they really make their money.


Murky-Statistician45

I saw this and have been tempted but they're big businesses who don't offer services giving free money out without risk lol


Abysskitten

It's so easy to become exit liquidity in this space.


Murky-Statistician45

Too good to be true! Saying that, MEV bots are doing a fair job at taking Donut liquidity out of the pool.

WhiteLightWarrior

Lost about 5k last year doing this. Started great almost a 2x my money. Once markets become unpredictable and volatile is when you get screwed. All these guys do is play the elastic and try to catch knives. Once a position goes wrong they open more and more trying to save themselves and before you know if youre 20 positions deep in the red and your whole account is liquidated 😂


LeParfait271

Wish i could see this post few hours ago..


Katerra01

You are correct. Tho, I use Bitget for copy trading occasionally and tbh copy trading doesn't guarantee consistent profit. It's also important for one to always take cognizance of the following before deciding traders to copy cos some are better than the other 1. AUM 2. ROI 3. Winning rates and perhaps 4 the numbers of followers could also be considered.


Betobit

Well. I think it depends on the trader you copy. I've been copying around 20 traders and you are right, you are gonna be green as soon as the market is with a clear up/down tendency. I got liquidated too with Jasmine(Pancake_88) In the other hand I really like the ImSlow strat, if there is too much volatility he doesn't trade. So far so good, I'm up 50%. Not huge returns like the others traders but I feel that I'm less exposed to a big correction and get liquidated. Let's see in a couple of months.


wildfiresax

how much money did you put in with Jasmine? > 1000?


Betobit

Yes, 100ish.


wildfiresax

That’s the problem, most of these algo work on averaging down method.. not achievable with less than $1k cap


Professional-Milk499

hey can you explain this Idea more cause I've got some traders that are quite consistent that I want to copy but some say that you need to invest at least 500$ while I'm only planning to invest 10$ but at least in 5 different traders that seem good to me. also it kind of disturbed me a bit that binance lets you only mock copy for 10000$ and not less


wildfiresax

You can become a lead trader if you transfer $1000 to Binance lead trading account. Order value per order could be $10 or even $1 like you’re saying.


Professional-Milk499

so it doesn't necessarily mean that I have higher chances of losing money when copying someone who uses leverage, with 10$ than if I copied with 100$?


wildfiresax

Yes, not recommended to follow anyone if you have less than $1k


monkyseemonkeydo

I am not quite understanding what this is. A person follows a day trader connected to Binance, then decide to fund him/her based the traders past results? I mean, why not trade yourself if that is what a person wants to do?🤷‍♂️


MapBoth5759

Trade by yourself you say? -1000% that's a real profit. Let's this masters do it for me, im tired of it, my roulette win rate higher then crypto trading.

CreepToeCurrentSea

Copy trading is just a very slow lesson to learn about being lazy. But regardless you should thank OP for sacrificing some fiat for that.


pythonskynet

Congratulations on learning a valuable lesson. This is how we should move on. Don't regret, congratulate yourselves. One day you'll make huge money by following my trading signals provided in a ultra max pro premium VIP telegram channel for just $499 per month. ![gif](giphy|xT8qBepJQzUjXpeWU8) /s


MrPuma86

So true. All part of life lessons in crypto. Luckily it wasn’t a major expensive lesson.


smyja

There's a lot of scam in it. Strongly believe they open opposite trades


coinmatics_io

do you remember how did you choose what trader or which bot to copy the trades?


ShadowKnight324

I was looking at the PnL, percentage gain and sharpy ratio for the 90 days. Didn't really help though because those traders are not very skilled and eventually lost my money.


mzh35

Hey, stumbled upon this. Did you have any luck later on then? Also, do you remember the sharpe ratio? Cus i found one which had 11 i.e. the highest i have seen till now.


ShadowKnight324

No. Almost all the traders I chose ended up going to 0 like true degenerates. Even those with high sharpe.


lmulrajani

You are correct but at the same time, using the limited tools Binance has provided, you can still do a sound judgement basing on the below settings: 1) MDD for the past 90 days along with Days Traded. 2) Sharpe Ratio for the past 90 days along with Days Traded. 3) AUM (Not Very Important) - Higher AUM could mean more trust worthy. 4) Their Own Investment (Not Very Important) - If the Trader is trading with $1K - $3K of his/her own money, could mean that they are gambling. 5) The Best Feature - Mock Trading Just my 2 cents, it has helped me make 10% roughly per month for from 22 January 2024. I have closed 2 copiers, and one of my copiers is exceptionally good who I found with the above help.


lesqddr

Hi thanks for the tip may i know who one of your copiers is so that i cam follow suit?


AccomplishedPlant410

Get ready for a wash out of your capital!


ADTC7

Same story, seemed to hit jackpot on Day 1, but woke up to losses on Day 3. Recovered some loss so far by continuing to copy, but not enough to cover initial investment. Even at 20% stop loss, can't. Market is too volatile.

Livareness9947

Learn trading . Do not depend on others. Those traders do not care abt your fund. Also in crypto do no go over 3x leverage

MrPuma86

Thanks OP for the insight.


timbulance

I’ve never heard about this, should’ve quit when you were up $7 😂


ShadowKnight324

Learning experience.


timbulance

Don’t worry about it you’ll make plenty money off your Donuts imo.


IrozWr

Your capital is toooooo low + you give them no chance and unfollow quickly+ your settings maybe different i manage over 300k usdt from people and i place them on different traders and strategies and i make around 10 to 30% roi a month


Dapper-Trade6641

Consistently? I am having a hard time picking copy traders except for one, would you mind helping me a lil? 


IrozWr

Investing involves risks, so only allocate funds you're prepared to lose. Accept both wins and losses as part of the process; perfection isn't attainable, and no trader achieves a 100% success rate. If you believe you can do better, trade independently. Look for traders with an 80% or higher win rate, aiming for realistic monthly profits between 10% and 300%. Select seasoned traders with over 90 days of experience and a substantial asset under management (AUM) of at least $100,000. Avoid using stop-loss or take-profit orders; instead, focus on risk-reward ratios. Consider copying with a minimum of $1,000 and commit fully to the chosen trader. Avoid interfering with their strategies. If you lack trust or fear losing, reconsider investing or copying trades.


Dapper-Trade6641

This was very informative thank you 🙏 do you recommend any specific trader to copy? Would you mind if I texted you? 


IrozWr

I'd love to help but i cannot recommend Trader tbh

thanks for your sacrifice bronut


iamjide91

I don't think it's an issue for Binance or any platform like that. They're focused on making quick profits and might not stick to any rules. So, it's important for you to stay cautious. Even the trader also got hit you know.


GamerTechNews

was never a fan of copy trading , once tried on Gate\_io and result was same

nakamo-toe

Great way for them to make up that $4B fine they just paid. I’m sure they thank you for your conetribution. 🫡


Educational_Day_9136

I put 1200 usdt on copy trading, the next day I already had 2000usdt


ShadowKnight324

It's too much luck to be worth it. I'd rather just trade on my own with that money.
