As personally, I believe we have to follow the footsteps of top traders as well as we have to build our own strategies to trade, who knows your plans can give better results. But as a newbie its better if we follow the top trader and learn from them as they can teach you things you cannot able to explore yourself in short time and you can add up your own brain and efforts to make a reliable trading plan.
Happy Trading
No one will tell you the secret of their success,all they will teach you is common and basics of trading and its good thing to get inspired from a good trader and trying to be the same like them but being copy cat won't work just see their hard work but never copy their trading styles it won't work for you.
