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
I usually follow, i think it is ok if we follow how successed trader around us as long we use it as something that can make us get profit. I usually ask some of my friends and usually i ask other (i have join groups that my friend as traders usually share) but not really follow. Like we must know which can be follow and which to avoid because back to natural trader, they will do something that only make they to get profit. And i know some of my friends, not really want to share and only want the others to buy coin that they already bought.
