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
Not actually a bad idea yet our initial steps is somewhat hard and i cant really deny that fact but somehow i do able to manage myself to have that self-learning.
Getting ideas from other traders isnt a bad thing but not also for you to rely on because copying their own trading style wont give out possibility of effectiveness on your part.
I agree that adding up your own style or way of trading along the way is much more preferable.Dont rush up on heading on learning because you would eventually go there in the end.
