Copying someone else is not a very good idea in trading,
Copying other persons trading strategy is a very wrong approach to trading as a soon to be professional trader or even as a trader of what ever level. What works for Mt. A is most unlikely to work for you and as such, you've got to demo trade for a strategy and perfect it on live. Not copying people's traded or relying on trading other people's signals.
Same is true for algorithmic trading, no matter what your style is, you need to make sure as few as possible people on the planet can figure it out or imitate it...
On this note, I'm not quite sure if I should agree with you. Studying candle stick patterns at key areas being the resistance and support has defined entry and exit points for a market and other traders are aware of this which brings them into the market and it's a good thing.
Not trading is good especially when you've got a large account size.
